Your Local, Leicester-Based IT Recycler

Most IT recyclers “cover” Leicester from somewhere else. We’re actually here, which changes the whole experience.

• Local team, local response: based in Leicester, we can often collect sooner and schedule more flexibly than out-of-area providers.
• We know the area: from Meridian and Grove Park to Watermead and Space Park Leicester, we collect across the city and county every week.
• Face-to-face where it helps: for larger or sensitive projects, a local team is easier to deal with than a distant head office.
• Supporting the local circular economy: reusable equipment is refurbished and kept in use wherever possible.

You’ll find us at our Leicester base: 46 Jellicoe Road, Leicester LE5 4FN.

Data Destruction for Leicester Logistics, Manufacturing and Research Firms

Warehouse systems, production PCs and research workstations in Leicester hold stock records, customer orders, supplier pricing and research data, and deleting files or reformatting a drive does not permanently remove any of it. Under UK GDPR that data stays your responsibility until it is provably destroyed. 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. Because our team is based in Leicester, we can often collect and certify faster than out-of-area providers. For the legal detail, see our data destruction page.

How a Leicester Collection Works

1. Tell Us What You Have and Where

Call or send us a list with your Leicester postcode. For business parks and warehouses, tell us about gate access, loading arrangements and the best time of day.

2. Our Local Team Collects and Logs Every Item

Our local, tracked, unmarked 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 with nothing sent to landfill. You receive certificates, an asset report and waste documentation.
