When businesses upgrade IT systems, replace servers or dispose of outdated computers, large quantities of scrap memory are often generated. RAM modules, server memory and other electronic components contain valuable metals including gold, silver and copper, making them an important material within electronic recycling streams.
We provide a professional scrap memory recycling service for businesses across London, East London, Essex and Kent, helping organisations dispose of redundant electronic components responsibly. Operating from our recycling yard in Rainham RM13, we collect memory modules and other IT components from businesses and transfer them through authorised recycling facilities.
Our service is used by organisations that require safe, compliant recycling of electronic materials while also recovering value from their equipment.
Memory components appear in a wide range of computer systems and electronic devices. We collect and recycle many different types of memory including RAM modules from desktop computers, laptops and enterprise servers.
Common items include desktop RAM, laptop memory modules, server memory used in data centres, ECC and non-ECC memory, and mixed scrap memory from IT refurbishers. Gold-finger RAM and high-grade server modules often contain higher concentrations of recoverable metals.
We also accept mixed batches of electronic components where memory modules are combined with other IT materials.
For organisations generating additional electronic or metal waste, collections can also be combined with IT recycling services, WEEE recycling and commercial scrap metal collections.
Many different sectors generate scrap memory when upgrading technology or replacing outdated equipment. Our recycling service supports organisations that need reliable handling of electronic components.
Clients typically include IT repair companies, computer refurbishers, data centres, electronics manufacturers, universities and schools, local authorities and commercial businesses upgrading office equipment.
Whether your organisation is clearing small boxes of redundant RAM or palletised quantities from server upgrades, we provide a straightforward recycling route.

We provide scrap memory collection services across London, East London, Essex and Kent, with the ability to support nationwide collections where required.
Memory modules can be packaged in boxes, containers or pallets, depending on the quantity being removed. Our team regularly collects electronic waste from offices, warehouses, data centres and commercial premises throughout Greater London.
For businesses undergoing larger upgrades or relocations, scrap memory recycling can also be combined with factory clearance and electronic equipment removal services.
Electronic components contain valuable metals that can be recovered and reused through specialist recycling processes. Recycling scrap memory helps reduce electronic waste while supporting sustainable resource recovery.
Recovering precious metals from electronic components reduces the need for new mining and lowers the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new materials. Recycling also prevents electronic waste from entering landfill and supports compliance with UK environmental regulations.
Businesses that recycle electronic components responsibly also meet their obligations under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations.
We aim to make the recycling process simple and transparent for businesses disposing of electronic components.
First, we review the type and quantity of memory modules or electronic scrap that needs to be recycled. Once confirmed, a collection can be arranged or materials can be delivered directly to our recycling yard in Rainham.
All materials are recorded and weighed before being transferred through authorised recycling partners. Valuable metals contained within the components are recovered through specialist processing methods.
Duty-of-care documentation and waste transfer records are provided for every collection to maintain compliance and traceability.
If your business needs to recycle RAM modules, server memory or electronic components, we can arrange a collection or provide guidance on delivering materials to our recycling yard.
