FREE Server Recycling and IT Equipment Collection
Retiring a rack of redundant servers, replacing on-premises infrastructure or emptying a former server room requires more than lifting hardware into a van. CPR supports the collection, asset handling and secure end-of-life processing of business servers and related storage equipment.
FREE standard collections depend on equipment, quantity and postcode. Priority collection, where available, is subject to an additional charge.
Responsible server recycling, without the complication
Servers can contain multiple drives, RAID arrays, removable media and management information. Before equipment is released for reuse or recycling, these components must be identified and assessed through an appropriate data-treatment process. The original server configuration is not a substitute for sanitising the drives.
CPR Computer Recycling serves businesses, schools, healthcare organisations, charities and even private individuals. Our Not for Profit organisation allocates recovered residual value to charity funds, from which a proportion supports UK charities and good causes. We prioritise reuse where suitable before recycling.
For collections in standard local service areas, a FREE standard collection may be available from five qualifying items; pallet-served locations can have different minimums. The booking checker gives the appropriate option for your postcode and equipment. You can also request Next Day Priority Service, subject to location and availability.

Decommissioned server and data-centre hardware
Whether your organisation is migrating workloads, consolidating servers or replacing ageing infrastructure, obsolete server hardware can be bulky and sensitive. CPR helps arrange the physical collection of redundant rack servers, tower systems and suitable accessories. Tell us about rack units, number of systems, removable drives and any loading limitations before collection.

Secure server data erasure and drive destruction
A server may contain several disks, hot-swap trays or storage controllers. Sanitisation must be assessed against the individual media and the chosen service. VerifyErase provides traceable wipe and verification records for supported drives. If a drive cannot be reliably sanitised, an appropriate physical destruction or controlled disposal route should be used.
Certified data erasure information →Server reuse, refurbishment and responsible WEEE
Server chassis, memory, processors and other components may have useful life beyond an organisation’s upgrade cycle. Reusable equipment can be tested or refurbished as appropriate. Hardware that cannot be safely reused is processed through suitable WEEE routes, with environmental and data-security decisions considered together.
