Business WEEE & IT Recycling in Cambridge

Cambridge is the heart of the UK's 'Silicon Fen', where world-leading life-sciences, biotech and deep-tech companies cluster around the Cambridge Science Park, Granta Park and the Biomedical Campus. That density of research labs and software firms means a constant turnover of laptops, servers, lab electronics and monitors that need retiring securely. We provide free WEEE collection across Cambridge for businesses disposing of 10 or more IT items, with secure data destruction and a Waste Transfer Note as standard.

Many Cambridge employers sit on edge-of-city research campuses with their own access procedures, while the medieval city centre and college buildings have tight, restricted-access streets. Our crews schedule collections to suit each site — coordinating with science-park facilities teams or working around city-centre loading restrictions — and handle data-bearing equipment to GDPR standards with a Certificate of Destruction.

WEEE collection in Cambridge — your questions answered

Is WEEE collection really free for businesses in Cambridge?
Yes. Collection is completely free for Cambridge businesses disposing of 10 or more IT items such as laptops, computers or monitors. We recover our costs through the responsible recycling of the materials, so there is no charge to you for collection, transport, or the Waste Transfer Note.
Do you collect lab and research equipment from the Cambridge science parks?
Yes. The Cambridge Science Park, Granta Park and the Biomedical Campus are among our busiest local sites. We collect lab electronics, IT fleets and end-of-life electricals from research and biotech businesses, recycling everything responsibly and securely wiping or destroying any data-bearing devices with a Certificate of Destruction.
Can you handle secure data destruction for Cambridge tech firms?
We can. Software and deep-tech companies across Cambridge rely on secure IT recycling, so every data-bearing device we collect is wiped or physically destroyed to GDPR standards. You receive a Certificate of Destruction alongside the standard Waste Transfer Note for your audit records.
