We collaborate with a variety of organisations in the UK and Europe to give retired IT equipment a second life. Among them are telecoms providers, banks, media companies, professional services firms and local councils.
We collect retired laptops and desktops from local councils and we securely erase the data and refurbish the devices for reuse. Councils can then donate the equipment to local community groups or have us resell it, with proceeds supporting local causes such as food banks. Fife Council has worked with us on both approaches, helping extend the life of its IT equipment while supporting the local community.
Refurbished hardwareWe help large organisations refurbish and donate retired laptops through IT donation programmes, either to charity partners or their own foundations. Mace Construct donated its laptops to the Mace Foundation, helping young people with care experience pursue careers in construction. These programmes give retired IT equipment a second life while supporting charitable causes.
View case studyOur approach to IT reuse prioritises giving working devices a second life rather than sending them for recycling. Each suitable device is securely erased using Blancco software before being refurbished and prepared for reuse or donation. This allows laptops, desktops and other IT equipment to be safely passed on to people who need them, extending their useful life and reducing unnecessary electronic waste.
Blancco softwareAccording to the UK government’s IT Reuse for Good Charter guidance, 1.7 million UK households have no laptop, tablet or desktop computer. IT donation and reuse programmes help close this digital divide by providing refurbished technology to people who need it. Every securely wiped and refurbished device provided free of charge helps improve access to technology while reducing unnecessary electronic waste.
IT Reuse for Good CharterWe are committed to using technology that creates meaningful value for the end-users we support, strengthens the companies we work with, and generates positive social impact for individuals and communities through our hardware donation initiatives with Close The Gap.
Whether you give locally or internationally, your donation contributes to a collective benefit for everyone.

The waste hierarchy for IT hardware: from prevention to recovery
The waste hierarchy comes up in most conversations about sustainable IT, but it only tells half the story. Below, we cover what the hierarchy actually says, how the more detailed 9R framework builds on it, and what both mean for the laptops, desktops and servers your organisation runs.
