Everyday electronics contain valuable metals and components that can be reused. Disposing of them incorrectly wastes resources and can lead to harmful environmental impacts.
Items such as TVs, phones, and routers may also store sensitive personal data. Without proper disposal, there is a risk of this information being exposed.
By recycling your electronics with SAR Metals, you’re ensuring safe disposal, data security, and maximum recovery of valuable materials.
Flat-screen TVs and computer monitors contain valuable metals and circuit boards that can be recovered. We dismantle and process them safely to minimise environmental impact.
Mobile phones are rich in precious metals such as gold, silver and palladium. We also provide secure data erasure to ensure your personal information is fully removed.
From consoles to controllers, these devices contain compact but valuable components. We recycle plastics, wiring and boards responsibly.
Printers contain motors, wiring, plastics and boards that are separated and recycled sustainably. Toners and cartridges are also handled safely.
Small but valuable, these units store both data and recoverable materials. We securely process them, wiping all data and extracting metals.
We make recycling electronics simple, secure, and fully compliant with UK regulations.
For bulk loads, schools or organisations, we provide free on-site assessments to value your electronic items before collection.
Fast and reliable collections across the UK, with same-day service often available for larger quantities.
All data storage components are securely wiped or destroyed, with certificates provided where required for compliance.
Electronics are processed through world-class refineries, ensuring maximum recovery of precious and base metals.
Every item is recycled in accordance with WEEE and environmental regulations. We provide full tracking and reporting for your records.

In many cases, yes. Devices such as mobile phones, circuit boards, and routers contain precious metals including gold, silver, palladium and copper.
SAR Metals offers free valuations and competitive payments based on current market rates for recovered materials. Even outdated, broken or bulk loads of electronics can provide value when processed through our refining partners.
Once collected, devices are transported to secure facilities for processing. Items are dismantled, data storage devices destroyed, and materials separated. Plastics, metals, and circuit boards are sent to specialist refineries where they are smelted and recovered for reuse. This process ensures maximum material recovery, reduces landfill, and supports the circular economy.
Consumer electronics contain both hazardous and valuable materials. If disposed of in general waste, harmful substances like lead and arsenic can leach into the environment. At the same time, precious metals that could be reused are lost.
Recycling ensures hazardous materials are treated safely and valuable resources are reintroduced into manufacturing, reducing the need for mining and protecting the environment.
We aim to make recycling fast and efficient. Same-day collections are available in many areas for bulk loads, and all items are processed promptly upon arrival at our facilities. Certificates of data destruction and recycling reports can be issued quickly, making us a trusted partner for time-sensitive projects.

Whether you’re clearing out IT infrastructure, managing warehouse stock, or dealing with obsolete electronics, we’ve got the right service for your needs.
E-waste refers to any discarded electronic or electrical item, such as computers, phones, circuit boards, or TVs. These often contain valuable metals but can also pose environmental risks if not properly recycled.
You should always use a certified electrical recycling partner like SAR Metals. We follow strict procedures for secure collection, component testing, and recycling in line with UK Environment Agency guidelines.
Items such as CPUs, RAM, hard drives, and circuit boards often contain precious metals like gold, silver, and copper. Bulk quantities of IT waste and server components usually provide the highest return.
