Process
Eight steps. One recovery route.
Subtle, repeatable, auditable. Collection is assessed — never promised as a free default.
The RecyclicTech process
Evaluate first. Recycle last.
We believe retired IT should be evaluated before it is recycled. The order is reuse, refurbish, recover components, remarketing, then responsible recycling.
01
Assessment
You tell us what equipment you have — a few servers or an entire hall. We determine whether recovery, remarketing or recycling is the right route.
02
Inventory
Equipment is documented and categorised. Incomplete lists are closed with on-site identification before anything is moved.
03
Secure Handling
Data-bearing equipment is processed securely: erasure, wiping or physical destruction according to the project brief, with chain of custody.
04
Collection
For organisations, collection is free. We de-install, pack and book sealed road freight. The carrier’s legal name is unpublished until it can be checked. Individual courier pickups remain a paid programme on the donate portal — not organisational road freight.
05
Testing & Evaluation
Each asset is assigned to reuse, remarketing, parts or recycling. Retired equipment is evaluated before it is recycled.
06
Recovery
Reusable equipment is refurbished or redeployed. Component recovery sits between whole-unit reuse and recycling.
07
Remarketing
Surplus equipment is sold through appropriate channels so residual value returns to the project.
08
Recycling
Non-reusable equipment is sent through responsible recycling processes and material recovery.

Around the eight steps
Five elements. One named operator.
These eight steps are RecyclicTech’s ITAD sequence. Around them sits a five-element mechanism: a company that demolishes steel warehouses (unpublished), a company that transports the materials (unpublished), RecyclicTech for tech refurbishment, a waste / scrap / WEEE company (unpublished), and a hall left empty so future kit can replace the old. RecyclicTech does not demolish steel structures. Demolition, freight and waste legal names stay empty until they can be checked.
Evidence
The trail runs beside the work.
Each job writes an append-only SHA-256 chain aligned to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A logging and evidence controls. You open it with the public reference. Sanitisation lines stay blank until NIST 800-88 work actually runs. Company ISO 27001 certification is in process. The number is not listed here until it can be verified.

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.
