How We Keep It Free
We can offer free drop-off and collection because we reuse first.
- We assess every item for reuse
- Storage is wiped or destroyed first
- What is still good is refurbished and resold in our refurbished shop
- Everything else is responsibly recycled through Urban Miners
Reuse first, recycle the rest.
Our Recycling Partner
Items that cannot be reused or refurbished go to Urban Miners, a Waipā-based, community-driven e-waste recycling organisation.
Urban Miners are a volunteer-run, not-for-profit group dedicated to reducing landfill through recycling, reuse and repair. Their processes make sure old technology is handled sustainably and ethically.
Secure Data Destruction
Old devices often still hold files, emails and passwords. Before any device is refurbished or recycled, its storage is wiped using KillDisk, or physically destroyed.
- Data wiped from storage devices
- Free data destruction certificates
- Or the device is physically destroyed

Recycle, Repair or Reuse?
Not every old device needs to be recycled.
Repair may be worthwhile when:
- The device still meets your needs
- The fault is a screen, battery or charging port
- A diagnostic assessment shows a simple fix
Recycling makes sense when:
- The device is beyond economical repair
- It no longer gets updates
- A refurbished laptop offers better value
We give honest advice either way. Eligible repairs carry a 90-day warranty.
