Secure Laptop Recycling and Disposal

Laptops and notebooks are an essential every day business tool. With over 180 million laptops sold worldwide in 2024 they remain popular, both in the home and at work. But what happens when they reach the end of their life?

At Pure Planet Recycling, we specialise in laptop recycling and laptop disposal. We offer businesses a secure, and environmentally friendly service. Whether your laptop is non-working or no longer needed, we ensure it’s recycled responsibly.

The average business laptop lasts between 3 to 5 years. Once it’s no longer usable, disposing of it correctly is crucial. Even non-functional laptops contain resuable materials.

More importantly, they often store sensitive data. It is vital to destroy this data, to adhere to data protection laws (GDPR – what you need to know) . Our data destruction procedures guarantee a safe and easy recycling process.

How is a laptop recycled?

1. Inspection and Reuse – We inspect each laptop. Can we refurbish the notebook to have a second life elsewhere?

2. Data Destruction – We remove all hard drives from the laptops to destroy the data held on them. Hard drives are then shredded to 15mm particles using our media shredder.

3. Detailed Reporting – If you need a detailed recycling report, we scan serial numbers. We can then include them on your recycling/destruction certificate.

4. Part Recovery – Could any part help repair another machine? If so we will dismantle working parts for refurbishing other machines.
