Ucan secure IT – Safe secure disposal of your IT

The original start-up business was set up in 2010 by Rob Seal from a small garage in Leeds. The idea was to create a recycling business that would help the environment around us whilst also supporting the local community with long-term job opportunities. Back then Ucan was a 1-man band operation but fast forward to today and we operate from multiple sites in West Yorkshire and employ 20+ full-time employees.

Right now we offer nationwide collection services to UK businesses and organisations such as schools, universities, trusts, councils, and corporates to help remove all redundant IT equipment from their premises. We perform full asset management and secure data disposal services for all our customers.

Because we handle sensitive company e-waste we are closely monitored and licensed by the Environment Agency to ensure that we abide by best practices and guarantee the secure disposal of all data assets. Wherever possible we will actively look at repurposing IT equipment to prolong the e-waste lifecycle. Any repurposed IT items would undergo a complete data-bearing kit wipe before being put back into use.

Our purpose is to champion e-waste recycling and spread the message that asset management doesn’t have to cost the earth!
