Computer Recycling Cardiff  Free, Secure IT Disposal for Businesses

Secure, certified IT recycling for Cardiff businesses, with free collection across the capital and South Wales.

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

As the capital of Wales, Cardiff has a large concentration of government bodies, insurers, banks and media companies, so much of the equipment we collect holds sensitive citizen, customer or production data. Jobs here range from a few laptops at a Cardiff Bay start-up to a full server room clearance, and we plan each one around your building and your timetable.

• ✅ Free collection across Cardiff and South Wales
• ✅ ISO 27001 certified data destruction
• ✅ A Certificate of Destruction for every device, not one generic certificate per job
• ✅ Environment Agency registered waste carrier, with nothing sent to landfill
• ⭐ Trusted by 1,000+ UK organisations and rated 4.8 on Trustpilot

📞 Call 0330 341 0785 or request a collection and we’ll confirm your Cardiff pickup quickly.

Data Destruction for Welsh Public Sector and Financial Firms

Government departments, councils and financial firms in Cardiff hold citizen records, case files and customer accounts across every laptop and server, and a factory reset or quick format does not permanently remove any of it. 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 data protection officer and auditors a clear record from your site to final processing, which is what public bodies need for their records. If your policy requires it, destruction can be witnessed on site before any equipment leaves.

How a Cardiff 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 security sign-in at government buildings, loading bays or lift booking at city-centre offices.

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.
