At SAR Metals, we specialise in recycling electronic components across the UK, providing compliant and sustainable solutions for businesses, schools, and individuals.
Electronic components such as circuit boards, processors and memory modules contain precious metals like gold, silver and palladium, alongside valuable base metals including copper and aluminium. Throwing them away not only wastes resources but also risks harmful chemicals leaking into the environment.
By recycling with SAR Metals, you ensure:
At SAR Metals, we handle a wide range of electronic components as part of our e-waste recycling service. Find out what you can recycle below:
PCBs are at the heart of most electronic devices and contain a high concentration of metals such as copper, tin, gold and silver. We recycle both populated and unpopulated circuit boards from computers, printers, routers, and consumer devices.
RAM modules are compact but contain recoverable metals. We recycle desktop, laptop and server memory sticks, including obsolete and bulk loads.
Central Processing Units are rich in precious metals. Whether damaged, obsolete, or bulk decommissioned processors, we ensure maximum value recovery and full data security.
Boards from televisions and monitors contain a variety of reusable materials. We dismantle and process these safely, ensuring hazardous substances are handled correctly.
Modern vehicles rely heavily on electronics. Automotive circuit boards from dashboards, ECUs, and control systems are efficiently recycled, recovering both precious metals and reusable components.
We make component recycling straightforward, secure, and compliant with UK law.
Free on-site assessments for bulk component loads, helping businesses and organisations understand the value of their electronic waste before collection.
Reliable and flexible collection services across the UK, with same-day pick-up often available for larger consignments.
Components with storage functions (such as RAM or CPUs) are securely wiped or destroyed to ensure full GDPR compliance. Certificates of data destruction are available.
Components are processed through some of the world’s most efficient refineries, maximising material recovery and client returns.
All electronic waste is treated in accordance with WEEE and environmental standards, reducing landfill and supporting the circular economy.
Whether you’re clearing obsolete IT hardware, recycling manufacturing scrap, or decommissioning automotive electronics, SAR Metals provides a secure and valuable recycling solution.
Do you have old circuit boards, processors or memory modules to dispose of? SAR Metals makes electronic component recycling simple, safe and profitable. From valuations and nationwide collections to refining and compliance reporting, we manage the full process so you can focus on your business.

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.
