Server Room Recycling in Birmingham, Solihull & the West Midlands

When organisations upgrade IT infrastructure, migrate to cloud services or close existing sites, they are often left with large volumes of redundant server equipment. Countrywide Metals provides a complete Server Room Recycling and Decommissioning service across Birmingham, Solihull and the West Midlands — ensuring all equipment is removed, recycled and documented safely and compliantly.

We work with data centres, corporate IT teams, local authorities, schools, hosting companies and businesses undergoing relocation or infrastructure upgrades. Our service handles everything from individual rack removals to full server room clearances, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum security.

Whether you’re replacing old hardware, consolidating systems or disposing of end-of-life equipment, we ensure your server room assets are processed responsibly with full traceability.

What Is Server Room Recycling?

Server room recycling involves the controlled decommissioning, removal and compliant recycling of IT equipment, including servers, storage arrays, networking devices and associated hardware.

This process protects your business from environmental risks, data breaches and non-compliance with WEEE regulations. Equipment is dismantled securely, reusable materials are recovered and hazardous components are processed safely.

If your clearance includes data-bearing assets, our service integrates directly with Secure IT Recycling and Hard Drive Shredding for complete data protection.

It was a truly genuine and highly positive experience. I have never been involved in weighing scrap before. While renovating my house, I visited CML, and they treated me as if I were part of their family. Charlie explained the entire process and ensured I received the correct value for my load. The staff on site also helped me with separating my scrap. I left very satisfied with the service. I highly recommend this place to others. The environment was very professional.

I went for the first time a few days ago, the staff outside were extremely helpful and patient with me, the young lad guiding me and helping seperate everything. The man weighing everything was also very hardworking and efficient. I came in feeling quite anxious, but I realised soon after there was no need to be.
