Our Story
Who we are, why we started, and what drives us every single day.
We started with a question that wouldn't go away:
"What actually happens to old IT equipment when organisations are done with it?"
The answer, too often, was nothing good. Data left exposed. Equipment dumped irresponsibly. Compliance corners cut. Organisations left hoping for the best — and occasionally paying the price for it.
We believed there was a better way. So in 2021, we built it.
Today, we’re proud to have earned the trust of over 650 organisations — from NHS Trusts and local councils to global brands and diplomatic missions. Each one came to us with the same underlying need: someone they could hand their old IT to and actually trust.
That's still what we show up to do. Every collection. Every client. Every time.
Founded in 2021 and based in Leicester, we work with businesses, schools, healthcare providers, local authorities, charities, and public sector organisations across the UK to manage end-of-life IT equipment — securely, sustainably, and professionally.
But for us, this has never been just about recycling.
It's about trust.
When you hand over your retired IT assets, you’re trusting someone with more than old equipment.
You’re trusting them with sensitive data.
You’re trusting them with compliance obligations.
You’re trusting them to do the right thing for the environment.
That's a responsibility we take seriously.
Every device we collect follows a secure and transparent journey — from collection and transportation to data destruction, refurbishment, recycling, and certification. Every step is designed to give you complete peace of mind.
Because we don't see old technology as waste.
We see potential.
The potential to recover valuable resources.
The potential to extend equipment life through refurbishment and reuse.
The potential to reduce environmental impact and keep materials out of landfill.
Since our journey began, we’ve supported hundreds of organisations across the UK — helping them protect their data, meet their compliance requirements, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
And we're just getting started.
“We started in 2021 with a clear goal: to help organisations recycle their IT equipment safely. For us, it’s about more than just compliance — it’s about protecting your data and doing our part for the environment.”
Muhammed Umer
Company Director, CWR
