CWR

ISO 27001 ACCREDITED IT RECYCLING & DATA DESTRUCTION

Secure Your Data.
Minimise The Risk.
Protect Your Business.

Old laptops, PCs and servers hold more than dust. They hold your data. At Computer Waste Recycling, we collect unwanted IT equipment from businesses, schools, councils and homes right across the UK. We wipe or destroy every trace of data, recycle what’s left responsibly and hand you the paperwork to prove it, so you can rest easy knowing nothing has been left behind.

We Take All IT Equipment

Laptops, PCs, servers, monitors, phones, networking kit and more. If it's IT, we'll almost certainly take it.

Certified Data Destruction

Every data-bearing device is wiped with certified software or physically shredded. You get a certificate to prove it.

Fully Accredited and Compliant

We work to WEEE regulations and UK GDPR, and hold ISO 27001 and ISO 14001 accreditation.

Trusted by 1,000+ Organisations

Schools, charities, councils, SMEs and national brands rely on us for secure, sustainable IT disposal.

Money Back for Working Kit

If your equipment still has resale value, we'll buy it. That money can go towards your next upgrade.

IT Equipment We Collect and Recycle

We handle almost every kind of IT and office technology. Each item is checked, data is destroyed where needed, and everything is reused or recycled.

Computers & PCs

From everyday office desktops and towers to all-in-ones and high-spec workstations, we take them all. Any computer still in good working order is refurbished and given a second life wherever possible. Older or faulty PCs are carefully broken down, with parts reused and materials such as metal and plastic recycled responsibly.

Laptops

From Windows and Apple MacBooks to Chromebooks, we collect laptops of every make and age. Every drive is securely wiped or shredded, batteries are removed and handled safely, and working laptops are refurbished for a second life.

Servers and Networking Equipment

From single rack, tower and blade servers to full server rooms, we decommission, remove and recycle everything, with every drive accounted for. Switches, hubs, firewalls, patch panels and cabling are also collected and recycled with care, so your whole IT setup is cleared in one go.

Monitors, Screens, Printers and Copiers

We collect LCD and LED monitors, TVs and meeting room displays, along with printers and multifunction copiers. Many copiers have built-in hard drives that store copies of scanned documents, so we securely wipe or destroy those too, leaving nothing behind.

Mobile Phones, Tablets and Phone Systems

A factory reset isn’t enough to remove data for good, so we securely erase or destroy every mobile phone and tablet we collect. We also take desk phones, PBX units, VoIP handsets and conferencing equipment, clearing your old office phone system in a single collection.

Routers, Access Points and Other IT Equipment

We collect business routers and wireless access points, wiping all stored settings and passwords before recycling. We also take EPOS tills, UPS units, projectors, keyboards, mice, cables and specialist kit.
