What we put in a UK ITAD file — and what we refuse to print

UK ITAD blogs copy the same claims: ICO-registered, T11 exemption, ISO certified, a DEFRA consignment ID already printed. This page is the file RecyclicTech actually returns. It is shorter than those blogs because we do not print numbers we do not hold.

Retired London enterprise IT prepared for WEEE-compliant ITAD collection

RecyclicTech writes one file per UK organisation lot. It is the evidence a DPO or internal audit can hold. It is not a marketing PDF stuffed with registrations we have not been issued.

Digital Waste Tracking — October 2026

England, Wales and Northern Ireland require permitted waste receivers to use the GOV.UK Digital waste tracking service from October 2026 (Scotland from January 2027). Commodity UK ITAD pages already print a “DEFRA consignment ID” as if they hold one. We do not. When RecyclicTech holds a real consignment ID for a lot, that ID is added to the same file as the destruction certificates. Until then the line stays empty on purpose.
