What can you recycle?
Enterprise IT such as laptops, desktops, workstations, rack servers, storage arrays and network equipment. Workplace electronics such as monitors, docking stations, TVs, keyboards, mobile devices, tablets, cabling, printers and scanners. And batteries, including UPS and lithium-ion. If something is not listed, ask us.
Is my data destroyed before recycling?
Yes. Every storage device is erased with certified software or physically shredded before the equipment is recycled. See the Data Destruction page for how the two methods compare.
Do you reuse or resell equipment?
Yes. Working equipment is assessed for reuse and resale before anything is recycled, so less ends up as waste.
What happens to the materials?
Equipment is dismantled by hand and the components are sorted, including metals by grade and circuit boards. Prepared materials go to specialist recovery partners, where circuit-board materials are refined and returned to the manufacturing stream.
How do you handle batteries?
We accept UPS batteries and lithium-ion batteries, sorted or unsorted, with lithium-ion handled by the kilogram. Hazardous parts are separated from the rest of the equipment during dismantling.
Do you take damaged or obsolete equipment?
Yes. End-of-life clear-outs and damaged or obsolete mixed e-waste are accepted, working or not.
What records do I receive?
A manifest with time-stamped photos of what left your site, an asset audit log, erasure certificates for each erased device, and serialised certificates of destruction for shredded media. Existing clients can also see their records in the client portal.
How do I arrange a collection?
Book online or call 0800 4 EXTECH. Send an asset list, or rough quantities if you do not have one yet, along with your location. We collect nationwide, with sites in Auckland and Wellington.
How much does recycling cost?
It depends on what you are sending, how much, and where it is. Send an asset list or rough quantities through the enquiry form and we will come back with a quote.
