AV Recycling done properly
Free, WEEE-compliant recycling of projectors, PA stacks, mixing desks, displays and rack AV — with working kit refurbished for UK schools and community venues.
Why studios and venues choose Byebyte
General e-waste recyclers don't know what to do with a Midas M32 or a stack of Meyer subs. We do — and we route it to a second life wherever possible.
AV-specialist recycling
We understand rack gear, PA stacks and live-production kit — every item is triaged for reuse before recycling.
Zero to landfill
Working AV is refurbished for schools, community venues and charities. End-of-life kit is dismantled for WEEE-compliant materials recovery.
Nationwide collection
Studios, venues, corporate AV suites, houses of worship and touring companies — we collect anywhere in the UK.
Full paper trail
Waste transfer notes, itemised manifests and WEEE recycling certificates for every collection — free of charge.
AV kit we recycle
From a single rack-mount unit to a full touring rig or corporate AV suite — we take the lot.
