Central Processing Units (CPUs) contain materials that can be recovered and reused. Throwing them away not only wastes valuable resources but contributes to environmental harm.
CPUs and other electronics can leak hazardous materials like lead and arsenic into the environment if not recycled correctly. Improper disposal of computers and processors can also pose data security risks if sensitive information is left behind.
SAR Metals accepts all types of CPUs and computer components, including:
We make recycling electronics and CPUs easy, secure and fully compliant with UK regulations.
For businesses, schools and IT departments, we offer on-site assessments to value your CPUs and old computer equipment before collection.
We provide fast, reliable UK-wide collections, with same-day pick-up often available for larger quantities.
We ensure full removal or destruction of all storage media to protect sensitive business or personal data. Certificates of data destruction can be provided for compliance records.

Yes, hybrid catalytic converters often contain higher concentrations of platinum group metals, especially palladium and rhodium, making them some of the most valuable converter types on the market.
Catalytic converters typically contain three key PGMs (Platinum Group Metals):
These are used to reduce harmful vehicle emissions and are recovered during the recycling process.
High-value converters often come from hybrid vehicles, luxury brands, or larger commercial vehicles. Using our online database, you can check exact values based on make, model, and type for each converter.
