IT Equipment Disposal, done properly
Disposing of old IT equipment shouldn't cost you money or sleep. Byebyte collects it free, destroys the data to NIST 800-88, recycles everything under WEEE — and sends you the paperwork to prove it.
Disposal of IT equipment without the risk
Redundant IT carries two obligations: protect the data on it, and dispose of it legally under WEEE. Byebyte handles both in one free collection — with a documented audit trail from your door to final outcome.
Genuinely free disposal
No collection fee, no per-item charge, no minimum quantity. We're funded by refurbishing viable equipment and recovering raw materials — never by invoicing you.
Data destroyed to NIST 800-88
Every drive is wiped to NIST 800-88 Purge or physically shredded before it leaves the chain of custody — with a signed Certificate of Data Destruction.
WEEE-compliant recycling
End-of-life equipment is processed under the UK WEEE Regulations 2013 through approved channels. Zero to landfill, with waste transfer notes to prove it.
Reuse before recycling
Working equipment is refurbished and offered free to UK schools, charities and non-profits through our community request scheme.
IT equipment we dispose of
From a single cupboard of old laptops to a full office or data-centre clearance — no minimum quantities.
