Electronical Items Schools, Colleges & Universities Commonly Recycle:
Laptop Recycling: Colleges and universities in Leeds and across Yorkshire are greatly dependent on students using laptops with sufficient features and memory to handle various projects. For those that become outdated, disposing of this IT equipment can be quite complicated. Especially when considering the amount of data stored on the device. At Ucan, we not only recycle your laptop but our expert data destruction services ensure all traces of your information are securely removed.
Computer Recycling: All schools typically include a range of computers programmed for students to access the internet and online portals for assessments and other tasks. Like laptops, these devices require a professional IT waste disposal service and data destruction for secure removal of unused technology and sensitive information.
Printer Recycling: Printers in all school establishments are thoroughly and securely recycled with a strong consideration for cyber security. Old printers are no exception to our adherence to GDPR.

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.
