DBS-checked collections arranged around your calendar, pupil and staff data destroyed to government standards, and certificates for your records — all at no cost to a stretched budget.
What every school collection includes.
Schools aren't ordinary clients, and we don't treat them like ordinary collections. Old devices hold pupil records, safeguarding information and staff data — some of the most sensitive personal data there is. And whoever walks onto your site has to be safe to be there.
That's why our collections are carried out by DBS-checked staff, booked around term dates so we're not disrupting lessons, and backed by the certificates your data protection officer and Ofsted file will want to see. The free service is built for school budgets that have better places to spend.
The concerns of a business and a school aren't the same. Here's what matters in education.
Safeguarding comes first. Every member of our team attending your premises is DBS-checked, so you can be confident about who's on site, even during the school day.
We plan collections around half-term, the holidays, INSET days or quiet periods — whatever keeps disruption to teaching and pupils to an absolute minimum.
Devices holding pupil records, MIS data and staff information are securely wiped or destroyed to government standards, helping you meet your safeguarding and UK GDPR duties.
You receive a Certificate of Data Destruction and waste transfer note — the documented proof of compliant disposal for your data protection records and inspections.
The process is identical for every client — what changes is how we tailor it around your needs.

You get a confirmed time slot. On arrival we provide an itemised audit and a Duty of Care waste transfer note.
Every data-carrying device is wiped or shredded at our secure facility. You receive one certificate listing them all.
Everything is recycled to WEEE standards. That recovered value is what keeps the service free.
Booked for the first week of the summer holidays, DBS-checked as promised, and three classrooms of old laptops gone in a morning. The certificate went straight into our data protection file.
— Business Manager, North East academyYes. We know safeguarding is non-negotiable in a school setting, so the team members who attend your site are DBS-checked. We're happy to confirm details with your office when we book.
Absolutely — it's how most schools prefer to work with us. We'll arrange collection during the holidays, half-term, an INSET day or another quiet window so there's no disruption to lessons or to pupils.
Every data-carrying device is wiped using certified methods (NSA/CSS 130-2, DoD 5220.22-M, HMG IS5) or physically shredded. You receive a single certificate listing every device, which serves as your evidence of compliant, safeguarding-conscious disposal.
Yes. We can coordinate collections across multiple sites and consolidate the documentation, so a trust's central team gets one clear set of records covering every school.
