Storage is not free
Retired equipment takes up space, and it is not inert. Batteries and damaged components are a fire risk when they pile up in a back room.
Retired equipment is a storage problem, a sustainability question and a security question at the same time. We take it off your hands and record where it went.

Procurement and disposal are two halves of the same decision. Planning the second half up front is cheaper than improvising it later.
A statement about responsible disposal is worth more when there is a record behind it. We count what we collect, by weight and by item.
Recovered materials and repairable equipment keep their worth in the local economy rather than leaving it as landfill.
Take the whole programme, or start with a single collection and grow from there.
We collect retired equipment from your premises, arranged around your operations.
A dated drive for a campus, office or community — one place, one day, everything cleared.
Permanent bins on your site so staff and students can drop items off as they go.
Practical sessions on safe handling, data security and the circular economy.
Longer-term programmes tied to your environmental and social objectives.
Routes to certified recyclers so materials are recovered rather than dumped.
A record of what you handed over and where it went, for your own reporting.
No paperwork maze and no mystery about where the equipment ends up. Four steps, agreed up front.
Equipment types, rough quantities, where it is stored and who to coordinate with.
We agree the channel — a one-off drive, a scheduled pickup or a bin on site — and a date.
Items are counted and weighed as they are handed over, then routed for reuse, repair or recycling.
A summary of what was collected, for your own internal and sustainability reporting.
We weigh and count what we collect, and the totals are published on our impact dashboard — the same figures we would give you for your own reporting.
For most organisations this is the first question, and it deserves an answer before anything leaves the building.
How a device is handled depends on the equipment. Ask us and we will confirm the route for anything holding data before your collection date.
Ask about data handling on WhatsAppResponsible recycling is a chain, not a single organisation. These are the partners we work with, and we list each one only once it is confirmed.
More partnerships are in conversation. Each will be listed here once it is confirmed.
Equipment types, rough quantities and a location are enough to start. We will come back with what is possible and what it involves.
