Box or Bag

Items like desktops or amplifiers can be left out.
Wipe Your Items Clean
Wipe off any dirt, bugs or webs from your items.

We manage items by hand so wear the dirt otherwise.
Place Items Outside
Place items on your front doorstep, under cover.
Keep items on your property. We do not pick up from the verge.
Unlock or Reset Devices
Erase items and unlock from the cloud if you can.
This enables them to be reused while protecting data.
Look For Other Items
Have old cables or other stuff in the bottom drawer?
It might be a good time for a clean out.
Important: We can't take original boxes, plastic bags or Styrofoam!
​
Remove all items from plastic bags or original packaging. Especially the little plastic bags on cords or cables.
We get thousands of items each week so unwrapping them would take days.

Quick FAQ
For Film or X-rays
Remove all reports, CDs or other papers from the folder. Group all X-rays in one or a few folders or in another bag. We will leave the folders as we do not recycle paper.​
​​
Do I need to drill my hard drive to protect the data?
For your safety please don't drill. Drilling releases fine particles and even vapours from mercury, lead, cadmium and other toxins. We will shred, then smelt any hard drives. No data will survive.
​
Have more items than you originally booked?
No problem! Feel free to add anything from our list. If it ends up being 1/4 a van load or more send us a text or email to let us know.
