Free IT Recycling & Rebates for Schools Across the UK

In response to the pandemic and negative impact COVID-19 had on the education sector, we announced in late 2020 that our IT recycling service would become completely free for all schools in the UK.

How does it work?

Working with SER, schools can arrange a free IT and electrical waste collections service, including the delivery of a free e-waste container. Below we have listed the easy steps schools can follow to start sustainably recycling for free.

Step 1. Simply get in touch with us via email or telephone and a member of our IT recycling team will arrange a delivery date for your free e-waste recycling container.

Step 2. Once on site, the school, staff and even students can fill the waste container with all their unwanted and redundant electrical equipment.

Step 3. When your e-waste recycling container is full you can simply arrange a date for our recycling team to come and collect your container.

Step 4. We will pick up all your redundant IT and electrical equipment in your container and replace it with an empty e-waste container ready for you to refill.

Qualifying for a Rebate

With every collection of IT & electrical equipment, schools can potentially receive rebates for their recycling efforts. Assets of value including complete computer equipment can help generate rebates for schools.

Success Stories

As a result, the most recent schools to benefit from our free IT recycling service in 2022 have successfully reduced their carbon footprint, reduced their waste management costs and even received rebates back for their equipment.

Sacred Heart Primary school successfully recycled all their electronic waste (e-waste) and received a rebate of £367.75
Derby High School raised £376.48 by recycling their e-waste with SER.
The Lowry Academy received a rebate of £391.70 from the recycling of all their electrical and IT equipment.
George Salter Academy raised £202.20 for their schools all thanks to their recycling efforts.

Andes Mountains Hydro Power - Chile

Located in the Tinguiririca River upper valley, this Hydroelectric project is around 120km south of Santiago, Chile. Known as La Confluencia, the 163 MW run of river hydro power plant utilizes the hydrological resources of the Tinguiririca, Portillo and Azufre Rivers, in a run of river scheme to generate and supply zero emission energy to the Chilean central electricity grid (SIC). The power plant generates certified emission reductions (CERs) by displacing electricity generation from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants that would otherwise be generating electricity.

Environmental Sustainability

The primary objective of the proposed project is to help meet Chile’s rising demand for energy due to its economic growth and to improve the supply of electricity, while contributing to the environmental, social (job creation in the construction phase, and infrastructure enhancements in surrounding municipalities) and economic sustainability by increasing renewable energy’s share on the Chilean electricity consumption. The Project activity improves the supply of electricity with clean, renewable hydroelectric power while contributing to the regional/local economic development.

Social Development

Through the “Tinguiririca Participa” grant program, the project directly finances proposals presented by community organisation, in areas such as healthcare, education, and social change. In the first year of the program, the joint venture financed 11 projects, while today the number of projects surpasses 200. All of these initiatives are aimed at meeting community needs.

Flora and Fauna

In addition to social projects, reforestation of around 120 hectares around the site has been implemented, helping protect and improve the local flora and fauna, with a specific impact on local Tricahue Parrot, Torrent Duck, Freshwater Catfish, Torrent Duck and Freshwater Catfish species.
