Our Process Simple, Secure & Fully Compliant

1️⃣ Request Your Free Collection Contact us by phone or email to book. We’ll arrange a convenient pickup from your London premises with next-day slots available.

2️⃣ We Collect Your Equipment Our security-vetted team arrives on-site in ULEZ-ready vehicles, securely collects your equipment, and logs each item for traceability under full chain of custody.

3️⃣ Certified Data Destruction All data-bearing devices are erased to NIST 800-88 / HMG IS5 or physically shredded, with Certificates of Destruction issued for your records. Witnessed on-site destruction is available on request.

4️⃣ Recycling & Reuse We refurbish equipment for reuse where possible; everything else is broken down for material recovery through WEEE-compliant facilities. Nothing goes to landfill.

5️⃣ Certificates & ESG Reporting You receive a Certificate of Destruction, asset report and Waste Transfer Note plus carbon-saving data to support your compliance and Scope 3 sustainability reporting.

Why Proper IT Recycling Matters

• ✅ Avoid GDPR Penalties – protect sensitive business data with certified destruction
• ✅ Meet WEEE Regulations – a legal obligation for business e-waste
• ✅ Reduce Environmental Impact – keep hazardous e-waste out of landfill
• ✅ Support ESG & Scope 3 Goals – promote circular-economy practices with real reporting
• ✅ Free Up Office Space – safely clear unused tech assets

Secure Data Destruction You Can Prove

Old computers hold customer records, financial data and business documents and simply deleting files or reformatting a drive leaves that data recoverable. Before any device is recycled or reused, CWR identifies every data-bearing item and erases it to NIST 800-88 / HMG IS5 standards using certified software, or physically shreds it for maximum security. You receive a Certificate of Destruction matched to your asset list, with witnessed destruction available for high-security City and Canary Wharf clients giving you complete, provable GDPR compliance.

ESG & Scope 3 Reporting for London Businesses

London’s listed and regulated organisations increasingly need disposal data for sustainability reporting. With every collection, CWR can supply device counts, total weight, reuse-versus-recycling rates and estimated carbon savings the documented audit trail your ESG and Scope 3 (waste-in-operations) disclosures require.
