Computers & tablets
Desktop PCs, laptops, tablets and related accessories.
Your devices · a responsible route
Computer, phone, screen, printer, small appliance or cables: identify the device, protect your data and confirm the intake route.
Before you travel
Share the device type, its condition and your location. A photo can make it much faster to confirm the category and available arrangements.
Sign out of accounts, back up files and reset the device where possible. If a failed device still contains data, mention it before handover.
Equipment to qualify
Acceptance and arrangements depend on condition, quantity, equipment type and the applicable framework. Confirming first avoids unnecessary travel.
Desktop PCs, laptops, tablets and related accessories.
Smartphones, phones, chargers and small electronic accessories.
Monitors, keyboards, mice, printers and IT peripherals.
Routers, boxes, receivers, players and communication devices.
Household electrical or electronic products to identify first.
Cables, power supplies, boards and separated components by type.
A simple route
The priority depends on condition: possible reuse, component recovery, material recycling or an adapted treatment route.
Device type, condition, quantity and whether it contains a battery.
Back up, sign out and flag any media that contains data.
Check accepted equipment and drop-off or collection arrangements.
Sort the device and select an outcome suited to its condition and makeup.
Your data first
Deleting files alone does not always remove them. Flag any drive, phone or media containing sensitive information.
Copy photos, documents, contacts and anything you still need.
Remove personal accounts, SIM cards and memory cards where possible.
Use the manufacturer’s erase or reset option if the device still works.
If it no longer starts, state that a data-bearing medium remains inside.
Prepare a photo, device type, quantity and location so we can confirm the next step.
