Computer Recycling FAQs

How is a computer recycled?

1. A visual inspection assesses if the computer is complete, undamaged and worth testing further. At this stage any ownership identification labels or markings are removed.
2. Hard drives and removed, scanned and destroyed, via our hard drive shredder.
3. If a computer could have a use, it is fully tested and refurbished. If any faults are found it is graded and assessed to see if it can be repaired.
4. Any computers that are too old or beyond repair are dismantled. We separate the parts: cd drive, power supply, motherboard and cables in order to recycle them. This allows the plastic, ferrous and non-ferrous metals to be recovered.

Do you collect computers from households?

Unfortunately it isn’t environmentally friendly or cost effective to collect from householders. We offer a Nationwide collection service for businesses, so collecting one off computers isn’t viable.

Please see the domestic electrical waste recycling locator to find a local drop off location.
