    Why Buy Refurbished from TechScrubbers?

    Buying from an auction site can sometimes feel like a gamble. When you buy from TechScrubbers, you are buying from a registered, compliant E-Waste recycling facility.

    “We don’t just sell tech; we ensure it has a second life. Every device sold is one less item in a landfill.”
    • Certified Data Erasure: Security is our priority. Before any device hits our eBay store, it undergoes a rigorous Secure Data Erasure process to GDPR standards. You will never find previous user data on our devices.
    • Rigorous Testing: Our technicians inspect and test every component. If it doesn’t meet our standards, it is responsibly recycled for raw materials, not sold.
    • UK-Based Support: We are based right here in Manchester. If you have a question about an item, you can message us directly and speak to a human expert.
    • Eco-Friendly Choice: Manufacturing a single new laptop generates a significant carbon footprint. By purchasing refurbished, you are directly contributing to a lower-carbon future.

    Tech Recycling in Manchester – The Top 5 Risks for SMEs

    Don’t Let Your Data Come Back to
    Haunt You.

    Proper secure data destruction for Manchester businesses. Because deleting a file doesn’t mean it’s gone for good.

    Digital Hub, Real Risks

    Manchester’s grown from industrial roots to a proper European digital hub. We’ve got fintechs in Spinningfields and creative agencies in the Northern Quarter. But this boom has created a massive target on our backs.

    It’s not just about firewalls and passwords. The biggest risk to your business might be that old laptop you chucked in the store cupboard or sold for fifty quid. If you don’t destroy the data properly, you’re leaving the front door wide open.

    The Top 5 Risks for SMEs

    Click below to see why proper disposal isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s do or die.

    Used to be you had one worry. Now you’ve got two. If you dump IT kit illegally, you’re hit by the Environment Agency for waste crime. If that kit has data on it, the ICO hits you for a GDPR breach.

    It’s double jeopardy. Unlimited fines from the courts for the waste, and millions potentially from the ICO. You can’t just hire a “man with a van” off Facebook anymore—it’s your neck on the line.

    Criminals scavenge through bins and old drives for “identity anchors”—letterheads, director signatures, and bank details. They use these to hijack your company at Companies House.

    Once they’re in, they run up massive debts in your name—known as “Long Firm Fraud”. By the time you realise, the creditors are knocking at your door, not theirs.

    Think hitting “Delete” or “Format” sorts it? Think again. Deleting a file just removes the address, not the data. It’s like taking the number off your house—the house is still there.

    Fact: Over 90% of second-hand drives bought online still contain recoverable data. That old drive is a “zombie”—it looks dead, but it can still bite you.

    The days of hiding behind the company name are over. Recent laws allow regulators to pierce the “corporate veil”.

    If a director is found to be negligent—like letting sensitive client data end up in a skip—they can be personally prosecuted, fined, and even disqualified from running a company for up to 15 years. It’s your livelihood at stake, not just the business account.

    The stats are grim. 60% of small businesses that suffer a major data loss or breach go under within six months. The costs of fines, legal fees, and reputational damage dry up cash flow instantly.

    In Manchester, word travels fast. If you’re named and shamed for leaking client data, trust evaporates. And without trust, you’ve got nowt.

    The Manchester “Village” Effect

    We all know Manchester is a big city with a village feel. Everyone knows everyone in the business loops. News of a data breach or a fly-tipping fine hits the Manchester Evening News and spreads like wildfire.

    Your reputation is hard-earned. Don’t risk it to save a few quid on disposal. Tech Scrubbers keeps your name clean by ensuring every single byte is destroyed, certified, and auditable.

    We provide full ADISA and ISO 27001 standard destruction. Proper paperwork. Proper peace of mind.

    “It’s simple really. If you wouldn’t leave your bank statements on a park bench in Piccadilly Gardens, don’t leave your old hard drives unscrubbed.”
