IF YOU RUN A BUSINESS IN BIRMINGHAM, THE TIP WILL CHARGE YOU

— Birmingham City Council
So it is possible — it just costs money, needs a phone call, and ends with your equipment being shredded rather than reused.
And the practicalities are their own deterrent. Birmingham City Council requires every visit to be booked in advance, with proof of Birmingham residency, and requires . It refuses vans and trailers larger than 6ft x 4ft to use a separate van booking slot.
Businesses have a separate duty of care for waste electricals under the WEEE Regulations, and you are required to be able to show where the equipment went. That is what we give you: a documented collection, certified data destruction, and a waste transfer record.

They will take it. But you will need a car, and a free hour in opening hours — and the machine is processed for its materials. Nobody uses it again.
We collect from your door for nothing, wipe the data to NIST 800-88 standard, and if the machine still has life in it we refurbish it and pass it on. If it is genuinely dead, we recycle it responsibly — and tell you that is what happened.
