What we do

One partner for every stage of IT lifecycle.

From pickup to paperwork — refurbishment, resale, secure data destruction, charity redistribution and certified recycling.

All services

Our process

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Every device that comes through our Watford facility is sorted into one of three buckets. It's how we make sure nothing usable ends up wasted, and nothing dangerous ends up where it shouldn't.

See how sorting works

The Good

Refurbished and redeployed

Tested, restored, warranted and either redeployed back to your team or sold on through our shop, eBay or Back Market.

The Bad

Stripped for parts

Devices that can't be made whole again are harvested for working components — RAM, drives, screens — to keep other kit alive.

The Ugly

Responsibly recycled

What's left is sent to our downstream WEEE partners under our Environment Agency permit. Materials recovered, nothing landfilled.
