If you’ve ever driven past the Caen Hill Locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal, you’ll know it’s one of those Wiltshire spots that genuinely stops you in your tracks. Twenty-nine locks climbing a hillside , it’s a proper feat of engineering. What’s less picturesque is the storage room at the back of your office, full of dead laptops and dusty server towers you’ve been meaning to deal with for months. That’s where we come in. Wikipedia
EcoTech IT is based at The Manor House in Potterne, roughly ten minutes south of Caen Hill along the A360. We provide secure IT disposal and certified computer recycling for businesses, schools, and organisations across Devizes, Wiltshire, and the wider South West , and we make the whole process a lot simpler than most people expect.
Secure IT Disposal in Devizes and Wiltshire That’s Actually Compliant
A lot of businesses in Wiltshire think they’ve handled IT disposal when someone from the IT team has reformatted the old drives. It’s an easy assumption , but it’s wrong. Formatted drives still hold recoverable data. Anyone with a basic recovery tool and ten minutes can pull files back from a drive that’s been through a standard wipe.
Under UK GDPR, that’s your problem. The law doesn’t care that you meant well. It requires that personal data is permanently destroyed , and that you can prove it with documentation. Our GDPR Compliant Data Disposal Wiltshire framework ensures that you are fully protected.
Our secure IT disposal Devizes service uses NIST 800-88 compliant data wiping on every functional drive we collect. Where a device can’t be powered on, we destroy the data bearing device within it physically. Either way, if a full asset list is purchased, you get a certificate of data destruction with every individual device listed, the actual paperwork your data protection officer needs on file.
Computer Recycling Wiltshire , Handled Properly, Not Just Tipped
One theme that comes up repeatedly in local community discussions , from Swindon forums to Wiltshire Facebook groups , is the sheer frustration of trying to responsibly get rid of old electronics. Council tips that are fully booked weeks out, skips that won’t take WEEE items, charity shops that won’t accept old PCs. People end up leaving laptops in car parks or bunging them in the general waste because they genuinely don’t know what else to do.
We’re the alternative. EcoTech IT runs a zero-to-landfill IT Recycling Wiltshire service, providing a sustainable computer recycling solution across the county. Before anything goes into the recycling stream, our technicians check whether it can be refurbished and given a second life. If it can, we sort it. If it can’t, it’s broken down into material categories , metals, plastics, circuit boards , and processed through certified channels. Nothing ends up in a skip or a tip.
