Need old computers collected? We provide safe and sustainable disposal of your depreciated IT equipment. Whether you need a handful of workstations or a complete office clearance: computer recycling is always customised with us. Including certified data destruction and transparent reporting.
Computer recycling: how does the recycling process work?
An old computer may seem worthless, but it often still contains useful parts and sensitive information. By having your end-of-life computers professionally recycled, you prevent data ending up on the streets and contribute to a circular economy. Materials such as aluminium, copper and plastic are recovered, while harmful substances are processed safely.
Computer recycling is also required by law: IT equipment cannot be disposed of with residual waste. We make sure you comply with all the rules, without any hassle.
1. Registration of your equipment
Send us a list of your old computers or contact us directly. We will discuss what needs to be collected and whether there are any additional requirements, such as on-site data destruction.
2. Collection with secure transport
We collect the devices where and when it suits you - discreetly and securely. Large quantities? No problem.
3. Registration and processing
We register all devices on arrival and check them for function. Working hardware is prepared for reuse; defective parts are separated and recycled.
4. Secure data destruction
Data carriers are deleted by software or physically destroyed, depending on your choice. You always receive an official certificate of destruction.
5. Reporting and proof
Afterwards, you receive a clear report, including serial numbers of the destroyed data carriers and processed devices.
Data security with computer recycling
An old computer may seem harmless, but it often still contains dozens of gigabytes of personal or business-sensitive information. That is why data security is at the heart of our business. With every recycling job, we offer certified data destruction - software-based or physical, depending on the type of device and your preference. Afterwards, you always receive an official certificate of destruction, ensuring compliance with privacy legislation such as the AVG.
Software-based data destruction with certificate
Functioning hard disks or SSDs in computers can be securely erased with specialised software. We use professional tools that permanently overwrite data in accordance with international security standards. This method is sustainable and safe, as the computer itself may still be reusable.
For this service, we use Blancco software - the market leader in certified data erasure. Blancco meets strict requirements and is recognised by NATO, TUV, ANSSI and the AIVD, among others. Afterwards, you will receive a comprehensive report with serial numbers of all deleted devices, together with an official certificate of destruction.
Physical destruction of storage media
Sometimes software-based erasure is not possible - for example, if the computer is faulty, or if you demand 100% physical destruction. In that case, we ensure that the hard disk or SSD is completely destroyed with an industrial shredder. The data on the storage medium is literally rendered irretrievable.
We carry out physical data destruction in our own secure facility, or on site at the customer's premises. Especially for organisations with extra-sensitive data or compliance requirements, this is a trusted solution.
Responsible handling of depreciated computers
Not every computer needs to be destroyed immediately. Many devices are technically still in good condition and deserve a second life. We assess each device for reusability. Suitable hardware is carefully cleaned, updated and used for social or educational purposes.
Is re-use not possible? Then the device is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way according to WEEELABEX guidelines. Valuable materials are recovered, harmful substances are disposed of safely and data are permanently deleted. This is how we combine safety with sustainability.
