Edu-IT Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Not sure where to put this. Got directed to www.RRIT.co.uk - Home for free computer equipment collection. Seems genuine enough, had replies to all my emails and have a collection arranged, so I thought I would share it with you all. We're getting rid of equipment that would otherwise have cost us in the region of £300 to dispose of. (If you see any old beige units by the side of the road, it's not from here, honest.)
sippo Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Companies are springing up all over the place to take equipment nowadays. They make a packet on them. The last company we used, is also used by Cancer research. Apparently they dispose of PC's on a yearly basis!!
plexer Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I've just used PRM Green Technologies Ltd - Free IT Disposal & Recycling for all - Welcome to collect 100+ old monitors and base units and they were really simple to deal with as well. Ben

plexer Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 There service is free to education, I presume you mean the data wiping and supply of destruction certificates? Ben
pagelad Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Sent them an email to see if they collect from way up north. Hope so, i have loads of kit here and the company we use is no longer operating
plexer Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 They are located: PRM Green Technologies Ltd 19 Kimberley Business Park Kimberley Way Brereton Rugeley Staffordshire WS15 1RE They came down to sunny norfolk to collect from me so I guess they go pretty much anywhere. Ben
Edu-IT Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 I think the company I posted are based there as well.
plexer Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Just to confirm that data destruction certificates are sent out around 4 weeks after collection. Ben
alan-d Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Do any of the above companies collect dead and broken kit such as old Motherboards, batteries, incomplete PCs and laptops?
Edu-IT Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 Do any of the above companies collect dead and broken kit such as old Motherboards, batteries, incomplete PCs and laptops? Some of our machines are incomplete. They've not said they won't. 1
plexer Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I had some incomplete pc/laptops removed with PRM but no motherboards or batteries, I didn't ask about them to be honest. Ben 1
