Computer disposal and recycling across Birmingham — we collect bulk IT scrap and pay you for it. About 2 hours from our Rochdale facility via the M6, so Birmingham is on our regular collection route. Free pickup on loads over 50 kg or 20 units; postal option for smaller lots.

Birmingham FAQ
Do you cover all of Birmingham?
Yes — central Birmingham, Erdington, Edgbaston, Kings Heath, Selly Oak, Northfield, plus the wider Black Country (Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley) and Solihull. Anything inside the M42 ring is standard route.
What's the smallest load you'd come out for?
Free collection threshold is 50 kg or 20 units. Below that, post your stuff in (any UK carrier) or aggregate it with other workplace collections.
I'm only clearing a few machines — what then?
Post them in or drop them at Unit D13, Fieldhouse Industrial Estate, Rochdale OL12 0AA Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00.
Can you do same-day for emergencies?
Usually yes for bulk loads inside Birmingham — call directly on +44 7908 749694 rather than form-fill.
