Disposal of redundant computers - The Key Issues

1) Data Security

Your redundant IT disposal method must include the complete removal of all data. In addition to sensitive company information, you are legally bound to remove data on personnel, customers and suppliers..

Note - Standard Formatting does not protect your data

The standard formatting of hard drives does not prevent data recovery; As a one of the UK's leading computer recycling sites Blackmore's own "Destroyer" program removes and overwrites all data. This can be customised to meet UK and US Military Standards.

2) Asset Return

It is natural that you would seek best return on any redundant computers or other IT equipment. Blackmore's experience and contacts ensure that maximum residual values are raised for all our clients.

We can purchase the equipment outright or alternatively can sell your equipment working on a commission basis. Alternatively if you would like to consider Staff Purchase or Charitable Donation schemes, we will not charge for managing the programmes.

3) Environmental Disposal

The increasing environmental legislation ensures that any computer, IT equipment disposal must follow stringent procedures.

Blackmore as licensed Waste Brokers and Carriers, have recycling policies in place to ensure maximum materials are reclaimed at every stage from any redundant equipment that cannot be remarketed. These include component replacement/retrieval, repairs to board level, and  reclamation of precious metals via smelting.  

Any computers or redundant materials that cannot be recycled are disposed of using a certificated process
