Reuse first. Responsible recycling.
Recycle Your Old Laptop or Computer Safely in Preston
Bring your unwanted computer to RecycledLaptops.co.uk. Talk to us about data sanitisation and giving your equipment—or its usable parts—another life.
Your old computer could still have a useful life
Got an old laptop or computer sitting in a cupboard because you're not sure what to do with it?
Bring it to RecycledLaptops.co.uk.
We help people and businesses in Preston and the surrounding area dispose of unwanted computers responsibly, while taking care of one of the biggest concerns when getting rid of an old computer:
What happens to all my personal data?
Old computers can still contain photographs, documents, emails, saved passwords and other personal information.
That's why we don't think recycling a computer should simply mean throwing it into an electrical recycling bin.
We can data sanitise your old computer and then look for the best way to give the equipment—or its usable parts—another life.
Call us on 01772 439177 or bring your old computer in and have a chat.
Don't throw it away if it can be reused
At RecycledLaptops.co.uk, recycling starts with reuse.
If an old computer can be refurbished and used again, we'd much rather extend its useful life than see it scrapped unnecessarily.
Depending on its age and condition, we may be able to:
- Refurbish the computer for reuse
- Upgrade it and extend its useful life
- Reuse suitable working components
- Recover useful parts from machines that can't economically be repaired
- Responsibly dispose of equipment that can't be reused
This is at the heart of what RecycledLaptops.co.uk is about: keeping computers useful for longer and reducing unnecessary electronic waste.
What about my personal data?
That's often the first question we're asked.
And it's an important one.
Simply deleting your files or resetting a computer doesn't necessarily mean you should assume your old data is safely dealt with.
We offer data sanitisation for old technology before equipment is reused or disposed of.
So if you've been hanging on to an old computer because you're worried that somebody could access what's on it, bring it in and talk to us.
We'll explain your options in plain English.
Ask about data sanitisationWhat computers can I bring in?
We assess laptops, desktop PCs and all-in-one computers.
Don't assume something is too old, too slow or too broken to be useful.
A laptop that isn't worth repairing as a complete machine may still contain usable parts. An older computer may be suitable for refurbishment, and some machines may simply need responsible recycling.
Bring it in and we'll take a look. If you're unsure what we can accept, call first.
Broken laptop? We'd still like to see it
A broken screen, dead battery, faulty keyboard or computer that no longer starts doesn't necessarily make the whole machine useless.
Where practical, usable components can help us repair or refurbish other computers.
That's another way we can extend the life of existing technology.
Upgrading your computer?
If you're replacing your current computer, bring the old one with you.
We can help you choose a suitable refurbished replacement and, where the old computer and its storage are accessible, help transfer your data before the old equipment is sanitised and dealt with.
In some cases we can upgrade your existing computer rather than replace it.
The greenest computer can sometimes be the one you already own.

- Identify equipment suitable for refurbishment and reuse

Why recycle your computer with RecycledLaptops.co.uk?
Because we're interested in giving old computers a useful future.

Our aim is simple: reuse first, recycle when necessary and waste as little as possible.

Frequently asked questions
Can I bring you an old laptop for recycling?
Yes. Bring your unwanted laptop in and we'll assess what can sensibly be reused, refurbished or recycled. Call first if you're unsure what we can accept.
What happens to the data on my old computer?
We offer data sanitisation for old technology. If you're concerned about personal information left on an old computer, tell us when you bring it in and we'll explain the options available.
I've deleted everything. Is that enough?
Deleting files isn't the same thing as sanitising the storage device. If the computer contains personal or business information, discuss data sanitisation with us before the equipment is reused or disposed of.
Do you take broken laptops?
Bring them in for assessment. A computer that isn't economical to repair as a complete machine may still contain useful components that can be reused.
Do you recycle desktop computers as well as laptops?
Yes. We deal with laptops, desktop PCs and all-in-one computers.
Can you transfer my files before recycling my old computer?
Yes, where the old computer and its storage are accessible, we can help transfer data to your replacement computer before the old machine is dealt with.
Can businesses recycle computers with you?
Yes. We work with businesses as well as individuals. We can data sanitise redundant technology and provide businesses with a certificate of data sanitation for their records.
Will you buy my old laptop?
Possibly. If the equipment is something we can economically refurbish and resell, it may have a value. Bring it in and we can assess it.
Is it better to reuse a computer than recycle it?
Where a computer still has a practical useful life, extending that life can avoid an unnecessary replacement. That's why we look for opportunities to repair, upgrade, refurbish or reuse equipment before treating it as waste.
