Our Server Recycling Process

Our simple, secure server recycling process ensures your equipment is handled safely, valuable materials are recovered, and the environment is protected every step of the way.

1. Free Server Check & Valuation

We begin by evaluating the value of your old servers. Whether you have a single unit or multiple racks of end-of-life equipment, our team provides a free, no-obligation assessment based on components, metal content, and current market prices.

2. UK-Wide Collection

We collect old servers and IT hardware from offices, data centres, and businesses anywhere in the UK. Our licensed transport ensures safe handling, full traceability, and hassle-free logistics.

3. Secure Handling & Data Protection

Servers often contain sensitive business data. We guarantee secure, GDPR-compliant data destruction, giving you complete peace of mind that all information is permanently erased before recycling.

4. Recovery of Valuable Metals

Through our specialist partners, we recover valuable metals such as gold, silver, palladium, and copper from server components. These materials are then reused in electronics manufacturing and other sustainable applications.

5. Environmentally Friendly Recycling

All server materials, including metals, plastics and electronic components, are processed responsibly in line with UK WEEE regulations. Our approach minimises waste, maximises resource recovery and supports a circular, environmentally conscious IT lifecycle.
