When businesses upgrade their IT systems, decommission servers or retire outdated technology, they must dispose of data-bearing equipment safely, legally and responsibly. Countrywide Metals provides a fully compliant Secure IT Recycling service for organisations across Birmingham, Solihull and the West Midlands, ensuring your IT hardware is collected, processed and recycled correctly through authorised facilities.

Secure IT recycling ensures that any equipment containing stored or retrievable data is handled and processed through controlled, compliant, and fully traceable channels. This includes items such as computers, servers, laptops, networking equipment and telecoms hardware.
