Server Collection UK: Secure Collection for Enterprise Servers
Secure UK collection for old rackmount servers, blade enclosures, storage arrays and network equipment, with full tracking and certified data wiping.

How the Server Collection Process Works
Our server collection UK process clears your racks without disturbing any live equipment next to them, and gives you proof at every stage.
Review Your Kit & Arrange Site Access
We go through your asset list, rack layouts and site security rules. We then sort out building clearance and loading dock access with your colocation provider.
Careful De-Racking by Cleared Engineers
Our security-cleared engineers safely power down, disconnect and remove each server. Every cable bundle and chassis gets its own barcode label.
Padded Cases & Tamper-Proof Seals
Servers go into foam-lined flight cases and are locked with numbered tamper-evident seals before they leave the server room.
Secure Wiping & Drive Shredding
At our secure facility, every SAS, SATA and NVMe drive is wiped with multiple passes or physically shredded, with a certificate logged for each one.
Complete Asset Report for Your Records
Your compliance team gets a full asset register covering serial numbers, CPU and RAM specs, drive status and WEEE recycling paperwork.
High-Security Chain of Custody & Data Sanitisation
Your servers hold your most sensitive data, from customer records to company secrets. Our server collection UK service protects it at every step
Every Drive Logged and Wiped
Large storage arrays can hold hundreds of drives. We record each one by serial number, then either wipe it with verified sanitisation or shred it to 6mm particles.
Vetted, Trained Collection Staff
Everyone on our team is DBS checked and security vetted. They’re trained in data centre access rules, anti-static handling, and looking after confidential equipment.
Dedicated, Tracked Vehicles
Your servers never share a vehicle with general freight. They travel in GPS-tracked vehicles with locked cargo areas, straight to our secure facility.
Get Value From Your Old Servers, Responsibly Recycled
Old servers still have value. Our server collection UK service tests, reuses and recycles your equipment, so you get something back and nothing goes to waste.
Resale & Refurbishment
Servers and storage controllers that still perform well are stress tested, cleared of old settings and reconfigured for resale to hosting and cloud providers.
Parts Recovery
ECC memory, Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processors, optical transceivers and spare power supplies are pulled out and reused to keep other data centres running.
Responsible Recycling
Damaged or outdated servers are broken down into gold, silver, copper and steel, then recycled in the UK under certified WEEE processes.
