We Collect & Recycle Your Redundant IT
ABOUT US
Ucan secure IT – Safe secure disposal of your IT
The original start-up business was set up in 2010 by Rob Seal from a small garage in Leeds. The idea was to create a recycling business that would help the environment around us whilst also supporting the local community with long-term job opportunities. Back then Ucan was a 1-man band operation but fast forward to today and we operate from multiple sites in West Yorkshire and employ 20+ full-time employees.
Right now we offer nationwide collection services to UK businesses and organisations such as schools, universities, trusts, councils, and corporates to help remove all redundant IT equipment from their premises. We perform full asset management and secure data disposal services for all our customers.
Because we handle sensitive company e-waste we are closely monitored and licensed by the Environment Agency to ensure that we abide by best practices and guarantee the secure disposal of all data assets. Wherever possible we will actively look at repurposing IT equipment to prolong the e-waste lifecycle. Any repurposed IT items would undergo a complete data-bearing kit wipe before being put back into use.
Our purpose is to champion e-waste recycling and spread the message that asset management doesn’t have to cost the earth!

E-Waste
What exactly is it and why does it matter? Simply put electronic waste (e-waste) is the discarded electric appliances you have such as TVs, laptops, mobile phones, computers etc. Our purpose at Ucan secure IT is to dispose of your old IT equipment safely and securely.
We are working tirelessly with UK businesses to reduce the volume of e-waste destined for landfill. Talk to our team now about our unique and forward-thinking approach to e-waste recycling.
Protecting Your Data And Our Planet
We care about our planet and we are proud to say that we are a zero-waste business. This means that we recycle and reuse everything we collect, ensuring that your unused IT equipment doesn't end up in a landfill! In most cases, we are able to offer a free collection of your redundant IT equipment. We regularly collect in Leeds, Bradford, West Yorkshire, and across the UK. We collect all types of IT equipment including Laptops, Computers, Monitors, Mobile Phones, Tablets, Hard Drives, Servers, Networks, Cables, Printers, and more.
Our Process
Ucan Secure IT is licensed to collect/repair any redundant IT equipment (WEEE). A typical collection arranged with us goes like this:
SWIPE LEFT ON BOXES BELOW TO SEE EACH STEP
Step 1
Equipment is collected and carried safely in our vehicles to our industrial warehouse located in Buttershaw, Bradford.
Step 2
Once here at Ucan, the collected equipment is bar-coded and allocated a reference number for asset tracking.
Step 3
Equipment is then visually inspected and categorised for either disposal or refurbishment/reuse.
Step 4
A certificate of Destruction/Disposal (C.O.D.) is issued for each item to give you peace of mind that all data is either erased or destroyed.
Step 5
We remove all company references and security markings from equipment. If security markings cannot be removed, equipment will automatically be forwarded for breakdown and disposal.
Step 6
Equipment allocated for re-marketing is then subjected to a functionality test and graded depending on condition. Asset reports of the equipment are offered for your perusal as a hard copy or as an electronic file.
