Call 0330 341 0785 or email info@computerwaste.co.uk with a rough list of what you need collecting and your Bolton postcode. We’ll confirm a date that suits you.
2. Secure On-Site Collection
Our security-vetted drivers arrive with the right vehicle for the load, collect your equipment and log assets where required.
3. Certified Data Destruction
All storage devices are wiped to GDPR standards or shredded, and a destruction certificate is issued.
4. WEEE Recycling and Reuse
Serviceable equipment is refurbished for reuse. The rest is recycled through licensed UK facilities, keeping e-waste out of landfill.
5. Full Documentation Supplied
You receive WEEE transfer notes and data destruction certificates as standard, with asset inventory reports available on request.
Secure Data Destruction in Bolton (GDPR Compliant)
Old devices often hold sensitive personal, financial and commercial data that must be destroyed to stay compliant with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act. We remove that risk entirely. Data is eliminated using certified software wiping or physical hard drive shredding, reducing drives to an average particle size of around 35mm so information can never be recovered.
On-site or off-site data destruction is available, and you receive a formal Certificate of Data Destruction plus asset logs for your audit, compliance and CSR reporting. Guidance on your obligations is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
WEEE Recycling and Environmental Responsibility
Under the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, businesses must make sure IT equipment is collected, treated and recycled correctly. Our Bolton service keeps you fully compliant while supporting your sustainability and net-zero goals, recovering valuable materials, maximising reuse and diverting electronics from landfill. Official WEEE guidance is published by the UK Government.
