Questions
Straight answers.
Do you only collect complete data centres?+
No. From a single server to thousands of assets, we assess the complete IT estate. Large decommissioning lots are the core of the business, but smaller corporate lots are evaluated on their merits.
Is collection free?+
For organisations retiring IT, collection, de-installation and processing are provided at no charge. Residual remarketing value covers the work and may be returned as a rebate. Individual courier pickups are a separate programme and carry a courier fee.
What happens to data on retired drives?+
Data-bearing equipment is identified and processed securely. Depending on the brief that can mean erasure, wiping or physical destruction, with chain of custody and documentation.
Do you buy used servers?+
Equipment with remaining useful life can be tested, graded, refurbished and remarketed. Any recovery value is determined after assessment — not advertised as a spot price.
Which countries do you cover?+
RecyclicTech is built for organisations across Europe, with dedicated market pages for the UK, Germany, Switzerland, the Nordics, the Benelux, France, Italy, Austria, Luxembourg, Poland, Czechia and Romania.
Can individuals send old equipment?+
Yes. The education donation campaign is open worldwide. Individuals describe the kit, pay the courier (live Shippo rates to our inbound depot in Rădăuți, Romania), print a shipping label and have a box collected from home. Suitable equipment is refurbished for classrooms. Corporate collections remain free — use the assessment, not the donation portal.
Are you an authorised partner of Dell, HPE or NVIDIA?+
No partnership should be assumed. RecyclicTech recovers hardware from those ecosystems but does not claim authorised reseller or partner status unless it is later verified.
What certifications do you hold?+
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 company certification is in process as of 22 August 2026 and is expected within about 14 days. We will publish the certificate number, the certification body and the validity dates on the About page the day they can be verified. Until then we do not display an ISO 27001 or ADISA badge. What is live today: an append-only SHA-256 audit trail on every donation and assessment (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A logging, evidence and record-protection practices), plus a certificate of data destruction per drive or serial, chain of custody, an itemised asset report, and WEEE / duty-of-care paperwork. Data sanitisation follows NIST 800-88 methods; physical shredding is available on request. Use the Evidence page with the public reference from your confirmation.

Tell us what you have
Stuck with retired IT inventory?
Free collection for organisations. We de-install, destroy the data, recycle what cannot be reused, document the job — and share residual value as a rebate.
