Corporate laptop fleet buyback and asset recovery
What You Get

Every Asset Logged. Every Step Documented.

The same verified foundations on every project — documented, traceable, and UK-only.

1. Serialised chain of custody

Every laptop is logged by serial number and tracked from collection to destruction, recycling, or resale.

2. Certified data erasure

NIST SP 800-88 erasure aligned with UK GDPR and current NCSC secure sanitisation guidance, with a certificate per device.

3. Value recovered, not lost

Reusable laptops are tested, graded, and resold, and you receive a transparent share that offsets the cost.

UK chain of custody. No offshore brokering.

Every asset is logged by serial number, transported under chain of custody by our Environment Agency registered carrier, and processed at our licensed UK facility in Mitcham — never sold on to an untracked offshore broker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about laptops disposal.

How is the data removed from laptops?

Laptops are unenrolled from MDM, unlinked from accounts, and erased to NIST SP 800-88 aligned with current NCSC secure sanitisation guidance. You receive a serialised certificate for every device.

Can we get money back for our old laptops?

Yes. Reusable laptops are tested, graded, and resold, and you receive a transparent share of the proceeds — typically offsetting part or all of the disposal cost.

What happens to the batteries?

Laptop batteries are classed as hazardous waste. They are handled under a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note with ADR-compliant transport as standard.

What reporting do we receive?

A full audit pack: serialised asset inventory, per-device data destruction certificates, Waste Transfer Notes, and an environmental and resale report.
