Why Tech Recycling Berlin
One mistake in IT disposal costs more than you think.
GDPR fines can reach up to 4 % of annual revenue — a single improperly disposed hard drive is enough. We close that gap for you.
- Certified data erasure — an erasure certificate for every data carrier, audit-ready for GDPR records and internal compliance.
- Fair IT buyback — market-fair prices instead of disposal costs.
- Personal point of contact from the first call to the final certificate.

Frequently asked
Answers to the most important questions
Is your data erasure GDPR-compliant?
Yes. We provide certified data erasure to BSI standards. For every erasure you receive an erasure certificate showing device, serial number, method and time. Data carriers that cannot be erased are physically destroyed according to DIN 66399.
Do you pick up old hardware in Berlin?
Yes, we offer free pickup in Berlin and the surrounding area. From single devices to complete server rooms — with sealed transport and a pickup receipt at handover.
Which devices do you accept?
Laptops, PCs, servers, networking equipment, monitors, printers, smartphones, tablets, hard drives, SSDs, storage media and related peripherals. Also cables, small parts and removed components. We do not accept loose batteries or rechargeable batteries; batteries built into a device are no problem. We work exclusively for businesses, public authorities and institutions, not for private individuals.
Do I get paid for my old IT?
For high-value hardware we provide a market-fair purchase offer after data erasure. Your old IT becomes revenue instead of a disposal cost — with full transparency on valuation. We buy Apple devices up to five years and Windows devices up to three years from the date of purchase; we do not buy monitors or network equipment.
How quickly do I receive a quote?
Within 24 hours — by phone, email or via our contact form. For time-critical projects also the same day.
Do you offer on-site service in Berlin?
Yes. On request we carry out data erasure and hard-drive destruction directly on-site at your premises — your data never leaves your building.
