Secure, Accredited, Zero-Cost
IT Recycling Edinburgh
The digital pulse of Edinburgh runs through its tech start-ups at Quartermile, finance houses on Lothian Road and research labs at BioQuarter, yet they all face the same risk from accumulated outdated hardware – data breaches, GDPR violations, and environmental harm from improper disposal. National IT Disposal eliminates all risks through a single visit. We collect and securely process devices for data destruction and circular economy distribution of reusable equipment, whilst completely avoiding landfill disposal.
The National IT Disposal process delivers complete data privacy protection and carbon reduction for your organisation through a single, audited, secure procedure that enables you to concentrate on upcoming projects instead of outdated equipment.

An overview
Dedicated Edinburgh IT Disposal
The corporate centre of Edinburgh operates continuously between St Andrew Square banking headquarters, Gogarburn’s global finance campus, and Fountainbridge tech hubs. The city’s fast-paced business landscape means that the technology upgrade cycle continuously accumulates outdated servers, engineering workstations, and sales laptops, which store confidential data and create unnecessary security risks.
National IT Disposal converts your redundant hardware liability into an environmental, social, and governance win. Our in-house team barcodes and records every asset at your premises, tracks it in GPS-monitored vans, and destroys data to NIST 800-88 standards at our secure facility. Useful items are refurbished and reintroduced into the circular economy, and remaining assets are recycled under strict WEEE rules, with no landfill waste.
The result: your organisation stays ahead of all data and WEEE legislation through verified audit-compliant documents and data destruction certificates. Edinburgh’s leading companies already rely on National IT Disposal; join them and keep your business moving confidently forward.

How can we help you?
Trusted By Edinburgh Companies Of All Scales
From the financial headquarters around St Andrew Square to the digital studios of Fountainbridge, Edinburgh’s firms rely on airtight data security to keep internal developments confidential and client confidence intact. National IT Disposal delivers precisely that. We barcode every retiring laptop, server, or phone as we collect it, destroy all data to government-approved standards, and route usable equipment back into Scotland’s circular economy, seamlessly meeting GDPR, FCA, and SEPA rules.
When a leading professional-services group in Edinburgh Park faced store rooms of laptops loaded with sensitive financial models, our team logged each asset on-site, executed government-approved erasure, and refurbished the devices for reuse, keeping hardware out of landfill and confidential data out of harm’s way.
Protect your reputation, free up space, and strengthen sustainability credentials with a single, fully audited service. Contact our team today and see how effortless secure IT disposal can be.

Yes. We offer fully flexible scheduling: monthly, quarterly, or any custom pattern that matches your refresh cycle. Prefer a one-off collection instead? No problem – book a single collection whenever surplus equipment starts piling up. Whatever suits your business needs, we’ll provide the same secure, zero-landfill service each time.
Security is our priority. First, we scan and log each asset at your site, establishing a secure chain of custody before they leave your premises. Then, we transport your devices back to National IT Disposal in our vehicles equipped with real-time GPS and CCTV monitoring, ensuring data is protected while in transit. Depending on the item, we apply industry-leading sanitisation or physical destruction methods. Finally, we provide detailed documentation (such as asset reports and destruction certificates) confirming that all sensitive data has been irreversibly destroyed.
We give new life to about 70 % of the hardware we collect and recycle the rest with zero landfill. The CO₂ we’ve already saved equals the annual carbon capture of roughly 12,000 mature trees, directly supporting Edinburgh’s 2030 net-zero target.
