FREE Nationwide Computer Recycling & IT Collections

Need old computers and IT equipment collected? CPR offers FREE nationwide computer recycling for businesses, schools, healthcare organisations, charities and even private individuals. We arrange collections using our own tracked vehicles or pallet transport, and our service is FREE when you have as few as 5 qualifying items in our standard collection areas. For smaller quantities, you can even use our Send Direct service. Next Day collections are also available to request through our Priority Service.

Check Free Collection Eligibility Find Your County IT Asset Disposal Areas

Check your postcode and equipment to see your options. Standard areas usually require 5 qualifying items for a FREE collection; pallet areas normally require 30 qualifying items. Smaller collections can use paid or Send Direct options. Priority collection is subject to availability.

Computer recycling collections throughout the UK

CPR operates a flexible nationwide computer recycling service. In many parts of London, the South East and neighbouring regions, our own unmarked and GPS-tracked vehicles collect redundant computers and IT equipment and transport it to our Surrey facility for assessment and processing.

In other areas, we can arrange suitable courier or palletised collections. These alternatives allow us to support organisations beyond our local van routes while keeping arrangements practical and cost-conscious.

We assess equipment for reuse and refurbishment where suitable, recycle non-reusable materials responsibly and apply appropriate data handling to storage media. This supports resource recovery as well as CPR's commitment to UK charities and good causes.

Why checking your postcode matters

A local van collection may have a different free-collection threshold from a pallet-based service. Tell us where you are and what equipment you have; our booking system will show the relevant options before you submit a request.

Collected IT equipment may still contain personal or commercially sensitive information. CPR's own VerifyErase data-sanitisation software supports traceable erasure, recording drive identities, erasure outcomes and verification evidence. Certificates can be provided for applicable successful erasures.

Where normal sanitisation is unsuitable or cannot be completed, physical destruction routes may be used. Reusable devices are assessed for refurbishment, while unsuitable equipment is processed through responsible recycling channels.
