Our Tech Community Reuse and Recycling Project

Our Tech Recycling Project

The Our Tech Recycling Project gives unwanted technology a second life while making it accessible to people and organisations that need it most.

We collect redundant computers, laptops, tablets, mobile phones and other IT equipment from homes and businesses across London, Kent and the South East. Every device is professionally assessed, with all personal data securely erased using recognised data sanitisation procedures before any refurbishment takes place.

Where possible, equipment is upgraded with new components such as solid-state drives (SSDs), memory and fresh operating systems to extend its working life. Devices that are beyond economical repair are responsibly recycled through authorised recycling partners, ensuring valuable materials are recovered and electronic waste is kept out of landfill.

Refurbished devices are then donated or supplied at low cost to charities, schools, community groups, families and individuals who may otherwise struggle to access reliable technology. The project helps bridge the digital divide while reducing environmental impact and supporting a more circular economy.

Alongside recycling, Our Tech also provides advice on sustainable technology choices, secure disposal of old equipment and environmentally responsible IT practices. Through partnerships with local organisations and community initiatives, the project has already diverted hundreds of devices from waste and put them back into productive use.

By choosing Our Tech Recycling, businesses and households can be confident that their redundant technology is handled securely, ethically and sustainably—protecting sensitive information while creating positive social and environmental benefits.
