Computer Recycling Bristol  Free, Secure IT Disposal for Businesses

Secure, certified IT recycling for Bristol businesses, with free collection across the city and the South West.

Computer Waste Recycling collects redundant computers and IT equipment from businesses, schools, universities and public sector organisations across Bristol. Every collection includes certified data destruction, a Certificate of Destruction for each device and zero-to-landfill recycling.

Data Destruction for Bristol Aerospace and Engineering Firms

Aerospace and engineering teams in Filton, Aztec West and across the region hold design files, project data and supplier information on every workstation and server. A wiped drive isn’t proof, and a factory reset or quick format does not permanently remove data. Computer Waste Recycling erases each drive to a recognised standard (NIST 800-88 / NCSC guidance) or physically shreds it, and every data-bearing device is matched to its serial number on your Certificate of Destruction. That gives your security team and your customers’ auditors a clear record from your site to final processing. If your policy requires it, destruction can be witnessed on site before any equipment leaves.

How a Bristol Collection Works

1. Tell Us What You Have and Where

Call or send us a list with your postcode and any access rules, such as loading bays, security sign-in or lift booking at city-centre buildings. For Bristol offices with restricted parking, tell us the time slots available.

2. We Collect and Log Every Item

Our tracked vehicles collect from your site, and every item is counted and recorded under a documented chain of custody.

3. You Receive the Paperwork

Data is destroyed first. Usable equipment is refurbished and the rest is recycled through licensed UK facilities. You receive certificates, an asset report and waste transfer documents.
