About Morris
Tech Recycling

Trusted family-run computer and tech recycling

Morris Tech Recycling are a small, family-run team providing secure computer recycling and tech disposal across Chesterfield, Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby, and the wider East Midlands and South Yorkshire. We are dedicated to straightforward, transparent, and hassle-free computer equipment disposal and recycling for local businesses and domestic customers.

Why choose us to handle your tech waste?

We operate with total honesty, offering clear, upfront pricing and a reliable service built on common-sense standards rather than costly, unnecessary corporate red tape:

Secure Collections

Our professional, tracked vans feature onboard CCTV and lockable bodies, operated by uniformed, DBS-checked staff who never use subcontractors.

Guaranteed Data Destruction

We ensure total peace of mind through rigorous physical hard drive destruction (using heavy-duty mechanical pressing) or enterprise-grade cryptographic wiping, followed by a full paper trail and compliance documentation.

Environmental Commitment

We love the outdoors—whether camping, walking, mountain biking, or fishing—and treat protecting our local environment as a basic necessity, aiming to maximize recycling and minimize landfill waste.

Licences and insurance

When handling your redundant computer equipment and confidential waste, we ensure total peace of mind that everything is handled legally, safely, and professionally. At Morris Tech Recycling, we operate with full transparency and accountability. Below, you can view our official credentials, registrations, and insurance cover—including our ICO Data Protection Registration, Environment Agency Waste Carrier licence, and comprehensive Employers’ Liability Insurance—ensuring your data is destroyed securely and your business remains fully compliant every step of the way.

WEEE Registration and Data Destruction

We’re not directly WEEE registered ourselves — the deconstruction and recycling side of our process is carried out by our trusted partners who hold the necessary AATF (Authorised Treatment Facility) registration. We hold the required full Environment Agency Waste Carrier licence, which covers collection, transport, and secure on-site data destruction.

All data-sensitive hard drives are removed and destroyed at our own premises — either physically punctured beyond recovery or wiped to enterprise-grade cryptographic standards — before anything leaves our hands. Once your data is confirmed destroyed, the remaining equipment and components are passed on to WEEE-registered specialist recyclers (an approved Authorised Treatment Facility) for final breakdown and material recovery, extracting valuable metals and processing plastics for reuse.

We think this is the right structure for a small, local team: we focus on what matters most to our customers — secure collection and guaranteed in-house data destruction — while final WEEE-compliant processing is handled by a dedicated specialist facility built for exactly that job.

Every item is tracked from collection through in-house destruction to final recycling, so you always have full visibility of where your data and your old tech end up.

Are we ISO accredited?

We get asked a lot by larger organisations: “Are you ISO accredited, or why aren’t you?” The short answer is no, we aren’t ISO accredited. While we know that certification is sometimes a mandatory requirement for certain industries, here is why we feel it isn’t the right fit for us as a small, family-run team that prefers to focus on our customers rather than paperwork:
  • We already work to a high standard: ISO standards largely boil down to common-sense, professional business practices. We naturally operate to that level every single day because it’s the right way to run a business.
  • It’s expensive: Certification comes with hefty fees. If you already maintain high standards, paying for a badge just means passing those extra costs on to your customers for no real benefit.
  • Continuous quality beats annual audits: ISO audits check your processes at the start and then every year or so. What happens in between inspections is anyone's guess. We believe in maintaining high standards all year round, not just when an auditor is due.

What standards do we actually work to?

  • Uniformed staff carrying ID badges
  • All staff are fully DBS checked
  • In-house training to ensure the best possible service
  • Modern vans fitted with trackers, onboard cameras, alarm systems, and lockable, sign-written bodies
  • Fully alarmed warehouses monitored by CCTV
  • No subcontractors—we handle your collections ourselves from start to finish
  • Flexible arrangements: we can offer commercial contracts if needed, but we mostly work on a straightforward ad-hoc basis
  • Fast data destruction: all data-sensitive hard drives are removed and destroyed within 24 working hours of arriving at our premises
  • Responsible processing: everything we collect enters the proper recycling stream
  • Comprehensive insurance: £5,000,000 public liability cover, £10,000,000 employers' liability, and up to £1,000,000 professional indemnity cover
  • Full documentation: a waste transfer note, data destruction certificate, and a detailed VAT invoice are issued for every collection
  • Health & safety policies, risk assessments, and safe operating procedures are always available on request

Recycling and destruction of your waste

We love the environment first and foremost. We camp, walk, mountain bike, and fish, and we want to protect the outdoors for our families. For us, taking care of the environment is just common sense.
  • Your waste has a full paper trail from collection all the way to final destruction
  • Hard drives are securely wiped or destroyed depending on whether they can be reused. If you specifically require physical destruction, just let us know when booking
  • All other components are sent to specialist recycling streams for material recovery or reuse
  • We plan efficient driving routes to minimise fuel usage and wear and tear on our vans

Our commitment

Our goal is simply to provide a reliable, cost-effective service while protecting the environment.

We completely understand if your company policy strictly requires an ISO-accredited supplier. If that’s the case, we’re still more than happy to help out with specific parts of your recycling needs rather than the whole process.

I hope this gives you a bit of insight into how we operate.

Kind regards,

Ben

Director & Chief Van Driver / Collector
