IF YOU RUN A BUSINESS IN LEEDS, THE TIP IS NOT AN OPTION
This catches people out constantly, so it is worth being blunt about.
“If you take trade or business waste to a household waste recycling centre you could be fined or imprisoned.”
— Leeds City 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. Leeds City Council requires a permit for any large vehicle, van or trailer, and proof you live inside the Leeds City Council boundary 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 permit for any large vehicle, van or trailer, and proof you live inside the Leeds City Council boundary, 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.
