One UK facility, nationwide collection

We own and run our own processing facility in Nottingham, so your equipment stays inside a single documented chain of custody from collection to final outcome — never handed to a third-party broker.

Nottingham facility

Our East Midlands processing site — secure intake, data destruction, refurbishment and materials recovery for the Midlands and the North.

London collections

Free collection anywhere in London, sealed at your premises and taken to our Nottingham facility — one crew, one manifest, one set of certificates.

Data Destruction in Manchester, done properly

Working equipment refurbished, data securely destroyed, materials recovered — with documented compliance at every step.

WEEE-compliant recycling

Every asset collected in Manchester is processed under the UK WEEE Regulations 2013 through approved channels, with waste transfer notes to prove it. Nothing goes to landfill.

Certified data destruction

Drives wiped to NIST 800-88 or physically shredded before they leave the chain of custody — with a signed Certificate of Destruction and serial-number manifest.

Own facilities, no middlemen

Manchester media is destroyed at our own Nottingham facility under CCTV, with serials logged on intake — your assets never pass to an unknown third-party destruction partner.
