Modern IT, retired properly.
We handle business equipment that still has life in it — from an office refresh to a data-centre decommission — and deal with the logistics, the paperwork and the data.
Laptop fleet collection
Our own vetted crew collects from your desk floor, comms room or loading bay, booked around your working hours.
Hard drive shredding
Physical destruction of HDDs, SSDs and tape, on site at your premises or at our secure facility.
Certified data erasure
Wiping to NIST 800-88 Purge, with a serial-numbered report for every device — ready for your auditors.
Server & rack decommissioning
De-racking and secure transport, with drives and RAM pulled, tested and valued separately.
We buy your kit
A fixed, itemised offer up front. Accept it and we pay by bank transfer once everything is tested.
And we take the rest free
Monitors, printers, cabling, broken kit. One collection, one certificate, one supplier for the whole floor.
Compliance paperwork
Waste transfer notes, asset registers, destruction certificates and recycling reports, all in one pack.
What we pay for — and what we take free.
Free disposal and a rebate are not alternatives. We grade everything, pay for what has resale value, and take the rest at no cost.

Not sure what you have? Send the makes and models and we will tell you which side of the line they fall on before anything is booked. There is no minimum — but the bigger the fleet, the better the per-unit price we can hold.
How it works
Four steps from spare kit to money in the bank.
- 01Get an offer
Send makes, models and rough counts. We come back with an itemised offer the same working day.
- 02We collect for free
Our own crew and vehicles, no subcontracted couriers. Every item scanned and a manifest signed before it leaves your floor.
- 03Data is destroyed
Drives wiped to NIST 800-88 or shredded, matched to their serial numbers and logged in your asset report.
- 04You get paid
Bank transfer once testing is complete, with destruction certificates and the full asset register.
Data security
A data breach costs more than a skip.
Under UK GDPR your organisation stays responsible for the data on old devices until it is gone for good. We give you an unbroken chain of custody from your building to destruction.
- Serial-level tracking from collection to certificate
- On-site shredding available — drives never leave your premises intact
- Manifest signed at your door, reconciled line by line afterwards
- Drives that fail erasure are physically destroyed, and that is recorded

Collecting in London is not like collecting anywhere else.
Most of the friction in a London collection has nothing to do with the equipment.
ULEZ and the Congestion Charge
Our vehicles are compliant and the charges are ours, not yours. They never appear on an invoice because there is no invoice.
Loading bays and time limits
Tell us the bay restriction and we plan the crew around it. A thirty-minute window on Bishopsgate needs two people and a plan, not one van and optimism.
Goods lifts and booking
Most City and Canary Wharf buildings need the lift booked and the crew pre-registered. Give us the building manager and we arrange it.
Out of hours
Evenings and weekends where the building insists or the floor is still live. No surcharge for a Saturday in the City.

Questions
Will you take old or broken equipment?
Yes. We will not pay for equipment that is more than about eight years old or badly damaged, but we will still collect it free and process it properly under our Environment Agency licence. You get one collection and one set of paperwork for the whole floor rather than having to find a second supplier for the leftovers.
How much will you pay?
It depends on make, model, specification and condition, so we price per device rather than offering a lump sum for the pile. Send the models and we come back with an itemised offer the same working day. The figure you accept is the figure you are paid, provided the equipment matches the description.
When do we get paid?
By bank transfer once everything has been tested and graded, normally within five working days of collection. The destruction certificates and asset register arrive at the same time.
Is collection really free?
Yes, for business IT anywhere in London, whether or not anything in the load is worth buying. No collection charge, no minimum quantity, no fuel or congestion surcharge.
What happens to the data on our devices?
Every data-bearing device is erased to NIST 800-88 Purge standard, or physically destroyed where erasure fails or where you ask for shredding. You choose the route before we collect. Nothing is read, copied or retained — we record only the serial number, the method and the date.
What paperwork will we receive?
A certificate per device listing make, model, serial number, sanitisation method and date; a full asset register reconciled to the manifest signed at your premises; and a WEEE waste transfer note for your compliance file.
Do you have a minimum quantity?
No. A single business laptop is collected on the same terms as a whole floor. Larger fleets get better per-unit pricing, because the handling cost is spread further.
Do you collect from homes or small offices?
Business premises are our normal case, including serviced and shared offices. We also collect staff returns from home addresses as part of a wider company collection — ask and we will arrange it.
Are you actually a London company?
London IT Recycling is a trading name of PYCO RENEW LTD, with a London site at Imperial Chambers, Woodford Avenue, Ilford IG2 6JX and a processing facility in the North West. Company number 16774881, Environment Agency licence CBDU607333.
