Remploy e-cycle specialises in the data cleansing and safe disposal of redundant IT equipment, offering a nationwide collection, refurbishment and recycling service for private and public sector organisations across the UK. Our ISO9001 industry approved processes help customers perform in line with the European WEEE Regulations, aimed at reducing disposal/ landfill levels through increased re-use & recycling rates, as well as providing advice on how to maximise the value of your redundant IT equipment. With data security being a critical part of our service, we use specialised UK Government approved software to ensure thorough data cleansing of all equipment. Once secure, we can help you maximise the re-use through redeployment, remarketing, donation or ensure safe disposal of these assets under WEEE Regulations.
Remploy e-cycle maintains the highest standards of operation throughout our organisation.

We will not only test, data cleanse, clean and re-image your end-of-life equipment ready for re-sale or redeployment, but we will ensure the disposal of all equipment that cannot be re-used is carried out in a secure and cost-effective way that meets your data security needs and promotes environmental sustainability
Tracking We operate to specific service levels with all our clients to ensure consistent security of all equipment placed in our care. This includes the tracking of all items, so we are able to identify their exact location at any stage during our processes. Once we have received your IT equipment Each item is scanned and logged onto our asset tracking system so they can be tracked throughout the process by their serial numbers, asset numbers or OEM part numbers.
Collection Remploy e-cycle has a number of IT recycling and data cleansing plants strategically placed throughout the UK. This gives extra peace of mind to our customers, as it helps minimise the transportation of secure data and lowers the impact on the environment through reduced CO2 emissions.. Working with our logistic support partners, we can arrange all aspects of the collection. We guarantee that whatever your location within the UK, we will collect your redundant IT equipment promptly and transport it safely back to one of our conveniently located secure facilities.
Auditing
Redeployment
In order to give you the best advice on recycling your assets, we carry out full equipment audits to gather a complete and detailed record of your hardware and its configuration. This includes full functionality testing as well as cosmetic checking and grading of each unit, to determine its potential remarketing value.
With pressure on companies to maximise their IT assets, we help our customers extend the life of equipment through refurbishment and redeployment into other areas of the company.
To maximise reuse we can harvest parts from faulty equipment to repair items that would otherwise have been recycled, this way we can ensure you get the most return from redundant assets.
Remarketing Thanks to Remploy e-cycle’s skilled use of remarketing opportunities and strategic partnerships, we are able to achieve high levels of remarketing revenues. All costs incurred by clients during processing can potentially be offset and a revenue stream generated from the residual value we recover from equipment.
Once equipment has been data cleansed and cleaned we can re-image and reinstal any specified software at our site, saving the cost of an engineer call-out to our client’s premises.
