Our WEEE recycling service turns your business’s old IT equipment into new products without compromising your security.
Shredall SDS Group works with a WEEE-approved partner to make sure that your confidential hard drives, media, and IT equipment are shredded and destroyed with confidence and not sent to landfill.
Since 1997 Shredall SDS Group has provided WEEE recycling for businesses. We work with a WEEE-approved partner to make sure that any recyclable electrical items we destroy are not sent to landfill.
In our years of experience within WEEE waste recycling the only way to protect your data is to completely destroy your unwanted hardware. The shredded equipment can then be recycled to reduce your environmental impact without fear of your data being compromised.
We specialise in recycling hard drives and WEEE products that contain sensitive data. Plus, we are one of the few WEEE recycling companies that has a target to recycle 100% of non-contaminated waste as part of our ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certification.

How our WEEE recycling service works
Contact us
Get in touch to arrange a date and time for your old hard drive, laptop, memory card and more to be collected. We’re built on flexibility, so choose anytime that works for you and your business.
We collect your waste
Our fully DBS checked staff will collect and load equipment into our vehicle, then give you the appropriate duty-of-care documents (e.g. a hazardous waste consignment note).
We destroy your waste, securely
We use cutting-edge technology to destroy each product, making it completely impossible to reconstruct and recover the data. Destroyed hard drives are sent to our UK WEEE-approved partner for recycling. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are removed, then the copper-rich materials, printed circuit boards and plastics are taken away to be recycled. All recycling is carried out in the United Kingdom.
We ensure you remain industry compliant
We will then issue a certificate of destruction for all IT equipment that has been collected and destroyed.
