Transforming Obsolete Devices into Secure, Sustainable Outcomes

We’ve supported organisations throughout the capital to recycle over 300,000 devices—including desktops, laptops, phones, tablets, and monitors—while safeguarding their confidential information. Our rigorous data destruction and refurbishment process keeps your data secure from collection to final destruction, and our zero-landfill commitment means we minimise waste every step of the way.

Whether you’re disposing of a handful of items or clearing an entire office, we prioritise both security and sustainability in every collection.

No Data Found

Safeguarding 600,000 TB: Data Destruction At Scale

Data security is the core of our service. To date, we’ve securely destroyed over 600,000 terabytes of data using methods like secure erasure, degaussing, and full-disk destruction, all carried out by our in house technicians. From major financial firms in the City to innovative agencies near Soho, organisations across London trust us implicitly to handle their sensitive information. Every stage is meticulously documented and transparent, ensuring your retired devices don’t become a liability. National IT Disposal’s processes are designed and executed to keep your data yours, allowing your business to run risk-free.

Leading London’s Sustainability Drive: 70% Renewal, No Landfill

Beyond protecting data, we’re equally committed to safeguarding the environment across all 33 London boroughs. Whether managing a handful of old desktop monitors in Richmond or decommissioning an entire office suite in Hackney, our mission is zero landfill. By meticulously renewing over 70% of the devices we process—extending their lifespans and performance—we significantly reduce waste and resource consumption. The remaining 30% is segregated into components and recycled according to strict WEEE regulations, ensuring nothing goes to landfill.

Our end-to-end process keeps harmful e-waste out of landfills, helps local communities benefit from renewed technology, and mirrors London’s forward-thinking stance on sustainability.
