Business IT collection

We collect old business IT, wipe every drive to NIST 800-88 and issue a Certificate of Data Destruction for each device. Kit with value is paid for by bank transfer once we have seen it. This is for whoever looks after the office IT and wants it collected, wiped and documented.

How a collection works

Tell us what you have through the estimate form. A rough description is fine for now.
We reply with an estimate. This is a ballpark figure, confirmed once we see the kit.
We agree a collection slot and load the kit, and you get a Certificate of Collection listing what we took. Small lots further afield go by prepaid box and label instead.
Back at our unit every device is logged by serial and model, and the serial label is photographed. Drives go through our in-house erasure system, drive health is logged, and phones and tablets are reset to factory settings.
We email both certificates as PDFs and pay by bank transfer for kit with value.

What we collect

We collect the equipment that fills an office store cupboard, including:

We take any age or condition, working or not, with no minimum on single devices or mixed lots. We can't move kit with swollen or damaged batteries, fire or fluid damage, or kit you don't own, and we collect phone systems, servers and network kit once your IT team or provider has disconnected it.

Before we collect

Send it as it is. Chargers and passwords can be sorted later. Signing devices out of iCloud or company device management earns a better offer, and we still take locked devices.

Where we collect

We collect locally across Shropshire, Cheshire, North Wales and the West Midlands. Larger loads are collected anywhere in the UK by courier or an arranged collection, and smaller lots further afield go by prepaid box and label. Full coverage details are on our locations page.

Data wiping

Every drive goes through our in-house erasure system, which overwrites every sector and verifies the overwrite, to NIST 800-88. Drive health and serial are logged, and you get a Certificate of Data Destruction for each device. Phones and tablets are reset to factory settings and listed on the certificate too, with more detail on our Data destruction page.

Questions about IT collection

Is there a minimum amount?

No. We collect single devices and mixed lots of any size. Tell us what you have and we'll give you an estimate regardless of how much or how little kit is involved, with no minimum to meet before we'll collect.

What if some of it doesn't work?

That's fine. We take laptops, desktops, monitors, servers, network kit, phones and desk phones in any condition, working or not. A broken screen or a dead battery doesn't stop us collecting a device, and it's still logged, wiped where it has a drive and listed on your certificate.

Do you collect phone systems and servers?

Yes. Desk phones, servers and network kit such as switches, routers and firewalls are all collected. We ask for phone systems, servers and network kit to be disconnected by your IT team or provider before the collection, so they're ready to load when we arrive.

Can you collect from outside your local area?

Yes. We collect locally across Shropshire, Cheshire, North Wales and the West Midlands, and larger loads anywhere in the UK by courier or an arranged collection. Smaller lots further afield go by prepaid box and label, so distance doesn't rule a collection out. See locations for full coverage.
