Our focus has and always will be with the latest and greatest hardware, but we also understand that many customers may be upgrading from an older PC… and we want to ensure that they're being responsibly disposed of if our customers don't want to keep or sell it themselves. By dropping your old hardware to us, through our partners we can turn it into something new which benefits everyone, including the planet.
Since we're not charging for this service and we have a relatively small premises which is already optimised for our regular work, we can only accept items from our local customers who are able to drop off the items to be recycled, and also only within a 2-week window of when they purchase a similar item from us.
In essence, it's intended to be a like-for-like trade, meaning we unfortunately would not accept multiple devices unless you also purchased from us the matching multiple items: eg, if you purchase 2 monitors from us, you can only bring in up to 2 monitors for recycling.
Whenever disposing of hardware that has stored your personal, business, or sensitive data; ensure that you either remove the storage device(s) from the PC, or that you format/wipe the data from the drive(s). Backing up any data you want to keep is highly advisable first!
If at all possible, we'd highly recommend that you drop off your old hardware when you come to collect your order from us, this way you can save yourself another trip.
Ensure you're bringing in all the accompanying cables, docks, and accessories of your old device which also saves you from accidentally using a potentially old and damaged/dangerous component with your new hardware later on. Sometimes it may appear that two different devices share the same cables interchangeably, but the amount of power that can be sent through may vary which can inadvertently cause unnecessary damage.
We are not able to pay you for hardware or devices brought in for free recycling: this is purely to ensure the hardware doesn't end up in landfill and is correctly broken down and harvested so that it can be repurposed in future. If you still think your device has life in it, you're more than welcome to hold onto it, or sell it privately.
