The short answer:
UK IT disposal pricing clusters around a few transparent unit rates: WEEE collection from roughly £250 per van load, data destruction around £10 per drive (or £495 per 100), and WEEE recycling from £195 per pallet. Most variation comes from scope, access, and method — not from headline device counts.
A transparent benchmark of what UK organisations actually pay for IT asset disposal, secure data destruction, and WEEE services — built from published rates, public contract awards, and real quotes rather than guesswork.

Norfolk Police's two ICT-disposal awards are converted from published inc-VAT values at the standard 20% VAT rate (£20,474 and £13,824 inc-VAT). Suppliers are the named awardees on each notice (Find a Tender & Contracts Finder, Open Government Licence). The Lewisham award was made under the Kent County Council "IT Hardware, ITAD and Associates Services" framework — a live public-sector ITAD route. This table and the Award Tracker are driven by the same data file.
Public-sector IT disposal awards span from ~£11k single-project call-offs to a £200m multi-supplier YPO framework, while WEEE and confidential-waste contracts regularly reach six figures. Per-unit market ranges for data destruction and recycling are not published here yet because fewer than two independent unit-rate sources exist — in line with our no-estimation rule. TFix publishes its unit rates above precisely because most competitors do not.

National incumbents (Restore Technology, Shred-it/Stericycle, tier1) sit alongside regional SMEs (S B Waste, S2S, Computer Recyclers, Recono.me) that win police and council IT-disposal work directly. The Kent County Council "IT Hardware, ITAD and Associates Services" framework (Lot 3) is the live route several councils buy ITAD through — the same route the Lewisham award used. Avon & Somerset's non-IT waste lots went to SUEZ, Tradebe, Veolia and Waste Efficiency. Every supplier above is the named awardee on its notice; see the Award Tracker for source notices.
