FAQs
Q. Do you really offer a free computer recycling service?
A. Yes. We really do offer a free collection and computer recycling service.
Q. What’s the catch?
A. There is no catch and no hidden charges. We strongly believe that companies should be able to recycle their equipment for free using a licensed company such as WEEE-RecycleIT. We think it is wrong to charge businesses to remove their usable redundant equipment and then make money from the resale of it.

A. Yes, we offer to purchase any high end equipment that you may have. Please send a full list of the equipment and we will make an offer.
Q. How do you make money out of a free service where there are obvious costs associated with it?
A. We make our money by refurbishing the equipment we collect and then resell it.

A. No. We are an ethical company. We sell all the refurbished equipment in the UK. We do not ship a single item abroad.
Q. What happens to the equipment that is useless and can’t be repaired is it sent to landfill?
