Quote from Computer Workshop Chester le Street
Step 1 – Tell us what you have:
• Use the online form to describe your scrap motherboard recycling, scrap memory recycling or PCB recycling load, or outline your laptop, PC or console fault.
Step 2 – Receive guidance and estimate:
• We review the information, estimate the grade of scrap or expected repair work, and provide a provisional valuation or service quote.
Step 3 – Arrange drop-off or collection:
• Deliver items to Computer Workshop at 143A Front Street, Chester le Street, Durham, DH3 3AU, or discuss collection options for larger
recycling loads in UK.
Step 4 – Processing, payment or repair return:
• Scrap electronics are weighed, graded and processed for payment, while repair items are tested, repaired where agreed, and returned once completed.
This structured approach keeps everything clear, from first contact to final confirmation.
Q: Do you accept very small quantities of scrap, like one or two motherboards?
A: Yes, smaller quantities are welcome, but higher volumes usually achieve better per-Kg rates. We are happy to advise for both small and bulk lots.
Q: Can you help a UK business clear old PCs, laptops and servers in one go?
A: Yes, we regularly assist schools, offices and IT companies with combined computer recycling, laptop recycling and PCB recycling projects, including documentation for records.
Q: What happens to my data if I send in full systems or drives?
A: We can provide data wiping or physical destruction options so that HDDs and SSDs are securely processed before recycling, ideal for business compliance and personal privacy.
Q: Are prices on the website fixed or do they change?
A: Online scrap motherboard recycling prices, scrap memory prices and e-waste price lists are regularly updated to reflect market conditions, so quotes are based on live guidance at the time of booking.
Q: Can broken laptops be both repaired and then their old parts recycled?
A: Often yes – we may repair the main fault, upgrade certain components, and then send any replaced or dead parts through our PCB recycling and scrap memory recycling channels so nothing is wasted.
Our technicians understand how to test boards, identify valuable components and separate grades correctly, ensuring that customers receive fair valuations and that as much material as possible is responsibly recovered instead of going to landfill.
By offering both repair and recycling under one roof, we can advise you whether it is smarter to fix, upgrade or fully recycle each device, based on cost, age and performance.
