IT asset

disposal.

Secure, accredited, and environmentally responsible IT asset disposal and recycling across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

CCL's fully accredited IT asset disposal service is meticulously designed to ensure compliance with industry regulations while providing our clients with the utmost assurance.


We help your organisation responsibly dispose of redundant IT equipment, ensuring compliance with legal obligations and supporting your sustainability objectives.

Our fleet of secure, GPS-tracked, low-emission vehicles will collect your equipment at a time that suits you, including outside of business hours if needed, and transport it to our state-of-the-art data destruction and recycling facility in Ayrshire.  Our accredited data destruction process ensures we destroy all data in line with current regulations, including the Data Protection Act (2018), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations. We will then process your equipment for reuse or recycling, in line with your preferences and permission.


We can provide full audit trails for collected equipment and supply all appropriate paperwork and documentation for your reporting purposes.

Secure
IT Recycling.

CCL has developed a wide range of processes and solutions to ensure that the IT assets we process are securely reused or recycled as part of the circular economy, and in line with your organisation's preferences and policies.


IT equipment recycling follows our established protocol, from your initial inquiry through secure collection and data destruction. Once the data has been completely eradicated, you can choose from three secure recycling methods for the items.

  • Desktop computers
  • Laptop computers
  • iPads / tablets
  • Mobile phones
  • Telecoms equipment
  • Servers
  • Printers
  • Scanners
  • Medical devices

Refurbish

When permitted, CCL will refurbish and repurpose data-destroyed IT equipment in its original form to extend product lifecycles and align with the waste hierarchy, consistent with our commitment to a circular economy.

Recover

We manually strip down IT equipment to recover as many components as possible for reuse. By recovering these components, the team ensures that valuable resources can be repurposed and extended in their lifecycle.

recycle

Where refurbishment and recovery are not feasible or permissible, CCL will disassemble equipment into its constituent materials. This approach aims to maximise value, enhance resource recovery, and improve recycling rates.

IT Refurbishment
& Recovery.

We handle all refurbishment in-house, ensuring full traceability.


Once we remove any data, we test and diagnose each unit, using recovered components to replace failed parts. If we can't refurbish an item, we manually strip it down to recover as many individual components as possible for reuse. This can include memory modules, processor chips, motherboards, LCD displays, graphics cards, keyboards, power supplies or accessories.


Refurbishing IT equipment or recovering components for reuse requires fewer resources and less energy than manufacturing new items, and maximises the value of redundant IT assets. Even if not suitable for high-level enterprise usage, recovered components can still be reused for alternative functions. Any components not suitable for reuse are separated into base materials for recycling.

IT Recycling.

Where refurbishment is not viable, either due to the low value of the equipment or lack of authorisation from the customer, we offer a secure and environmentally responsible disposal service for outdated IT assets. This service encompasses a range of items, including computers, monitors, servers, printers, routers, and other network equipment.


Once we remove data through our accredited data destruction process, we separate the equipment into individual parts and base materials for specialist recycling, including copper wires, aluminium/copper heatsinks, power supplies, high-grade PCBs containing gold, low-grade PCBs containing copper, cables, and plastics. We further shred items of low intrinsic value, such as computer casings, to separate steel from plastic.


We ensure maximum value and optimal recycling rates for every item. We send all base material we recover to end refiners in the UK. This allows us to control materials and carefully audit our end refiners, ensuring they meet our exacting standards.
