IF YOU RUN A BUSINESS IN HUDDERSFIELD, THE TIP IS NOT AN OPTION
This catches people out constantly, so it is worth being blunt about.
“Only household waste is accepted at Kirklees sites. Bringing trade or business waste can result in fines or prosecution.”
— Kirklees Council
It does not matter that the laptops came from a small office, or that you would be taking them in your own car.
Even if it were allowed, the practicalities rule it out. Kirklees Council requires a vehicle permit, limited to two vehicles per household. It refuses vans over 3 tonnes, box vans, tippers and dropside vehicles. There is no version of a business IT clear-out that fits comfortably through that door.
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.
Anyone moving your waste commercially has to be a registered waste carrier. We are — registration CBDU607333, checkable on the Environment Agency public register, and listed on our certifications page.

They will take it. But you will need a vehicle permit, limited to two vehicles per household, 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.

WHERE WE COLLECT IN HUDDERSFIELD
Everywhere in the Huddersfield post town - HD1, HD2, HD3, HD4, HD5, HD7 and HD8 - plus Brighouse (HD6) and Holmfirth (HD9). That covers Kirklees end to end, from the town centre out to the Colne and Holme valleys.
Because we are based here, Huddersfield collections are arranged as and when rather than on a fixed weekly round — there is no scheduled day to wait for. Book whenever suits you and we will work around it. Shipping labels and QR codes are issued between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Outside the area? We collect across the UK — book a collection anywhere.
