IT equipment refurbishment and recycling and asset management

A secure WEEE compliant service providing refurbishment, re-use and asset management of IT equipment.

The service includes collection, auditing, inventory and storage of IT and telecommunications equipment for a number of large public and private sector bodies. Within this division of Recycling Lives we can offer a complete service for managing any organisations IT inventory. Coupled with our recycling and refurbishment operations we are able to offer and effective end of life solution to any equipment falling short of inventory criteria within our stored stock.

At Recycling Lives we firmly believe that the most efficient and effective form of recycling is re-use. Subsequently we have setup a refurbishment facility which is dedicated to the reuse of IT equipment. All equipment which enters our facility is subjected to rigorous inspection and testing to ascertain its potential for refurbishment or direct resale. Data on any form of magnetic media, requiring complete destruction and containing confidential information is securely erased to SEAP 8500 (Type 2) standards using a high powered automatic degausser. Alternative non physical destruction methods are also available using software to erase information rendering the media reusable. All items are tested for functionality and structural integrity by our on-site engineers prior to sale or donation.

Items which fail are sent for WEEE compliant processing, and certificates of destruction are made available to our clients. Functioning equipment is refurbished and re-used as preferred by the WEEE legislation.

Recycling Lives offers good Corporate Social Responsibility.

Recycling Lives operates nationally to provide a wide range of recycling activities to Local Authorities, commercial organisations and the public. Recycling Lives provides housing, training and long term employment in the recycling sector, to people who would otherwise be homeless; including ex-armed forces personnel, probation and those from chaotic backgrounds.

Each Recycling Lives centre provides up to 48 quality en-suite rooms; training and office facilities; incubator units for entrepreneurs in social enterprise; industrial space for our recycling processes and retail space to sell good manufactured by Recycling Lives from recycled waste.

We do not ask for, or rely on 'gifts' from you, as we always pay fair prices for scrap metal recycling, plastic and other recyclables. By selling your waste to Recycling Lives your organisation helps us to be sustainable and you to show good corporate social responsibility.

Our social enterprise 'manages' good Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on your behalf, by ensuring that our recycling activities are carried out by employees that would otherwise be marginalised or even forgotten by society.
