We help councils, government agencies, schools, colleges, and universities retire IT securely — from workstations and student device fleets to servers and networking gear. Certified data destruction, device reuse, WEEE recovery, and measurable social-value reporting on UK chain of custody.
Last reviewed: 10 June 2026
Public bodies have to evidence value and compliance. So does our process — every asset logged, every drive certified, every movement recorded.
Every device is logged by serial number at your site and tracked through to destruction or reuse. You can reconcile exactly what left and what happened to it — the audit trail public-sector reporting depends on.
Citizen and student data-bearing media erased to NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2 or physically shredded, aligned with UK GDPR. A serialised certificate for every drive and device.
We prioritise reuse over recycling where safe, with measurable ESG and social-value reporting — and can channel suitable devices into education through Connected Classrooms.
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.

A short walkthrough of how councils, agencies, and public bodies can retire redundant IT compliantly — protecting citizen data, evidencing destruction, and recovering value through reuse and certified WEEE recycling.
We lead with paperwork, not promises. Every registration below is independently checkable, and every project is delivered against recognised UK standards.
| Credential | Reference | Issued / recognised by | What it proves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waste Carrier Registration | CBDU351026 | Environment Agency | Legal authority to transport and carry controlled waste and end-of-life IT across the UK. |
| WEEE Treatment Exemption (T11) | EXP/UP3043JD | Environment Agency | Authorised to treat waste electrical and electronic equipment for reuse and recycling. |
| ICO Data Protection Registration | ZB787416 | Information Commissioner's Office | Registered to process personal data in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. |
| Cyber Essentials | Certified | IASME (NCSC scheme) | Independently verified baseline cyber-security controls protecting your data while in our custody. |
Standards we work to
We can supply our registrations, insurance certificates, and sample destruction outputs as part of your supplier due diligence.
Estate-wide refreshes of office and service IT with documented citizen-data destruction and transparent reporting.
Compliant disposal of workstations, servers, and networking gear with serialised certificates for audit.
Safe wiping and WEEE collection of student and staff device fleets, with reuse prioritised where possible.
Decommissioning of lab, library, and campus IT with certified data destruction and ESG reporting.
Secure disposal of administrative and data-bearing IT — see also our healthcare ITAD page.
Practical, compliant IT retirement for housing associations and not-for-profits with measurable social value.
We focus on the IT and data-bearing side of your estate, with reuse and social-value reporting built in.
Decommissioning and NIST 800-88 erasure of office and service-delivery PCs holding citizen data, then certified reuse or recycling.
Safe wiping of laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets with MDM unenrolment, account unlinking, and licensed WEEE collection of end-of-life devices.
Data-room and comms equipment cleared during upgrades, relocations, or estate rationalisation, with configuration data securely destroyed.
Reuse prioritised where safe, certified WEEE recycling for the rest, and measurable ESG and social-value reporting for every collection.
Scope covers data destruction, decommissioning, licensed collection, recycling, reuse, and value recovery. It does not include software, network, or managed-IT support services.
Managing old IT in schools, academy trusts, and colleges means safe wiping of student devices and responsible recycling of everything that has reached end of life — without disrupting term-time operations.
Common questions from public sector and education organisations.
Yes. We support councils, agencies, and education bodies that buy through procurement frameworks, providing the documentation, certified processes, and transparent reporting that public-sector and audit requirements demand, with a per-device certificate for every asset.
Data-bearing media from council systems, agency workstations, and school and student devices is erased to NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2 or physically shredded, aligned with UK GDPR, with a serialised certificate per device before any reuse.
Yes. Where devices can be safely reused after certified data destruction, we prioritise reuse over recycling and provide measurable social-value and ESG reporting, including CO2e avoided and devices diverted from waste.
A full audit pack: a serialised asset inventory, Waste Transfer Notes, per-device certificates of data destruction or sanitisation, and an environmental, reuse, and social-value report — designed to satisfy UK GDPR, WEEE, and public-sector audit requirements.
