Tech-Takeback is a not-for-profit company that began in 2016 as a small pop-up event in a Brighton cafe. On one day alone, our team of reuse, recycling and data security experts were able to collect 250kg of disused tech through resident donations - with data-bearing items separated for erasure, refurbishment and reuse.
A series of Tech-Takeback pop-up events followed, 8.9 tonnes of electrical waste were collected at the 5 events held across Brighton & Hove and a further 1.6 tonnes were collected at 2 pop-up events held in the City of London.
In 2020, Tech-Takeback Ltd was officially formed by our Directors - each with their own skills
In November 2020, in partnership with The ZeroNet app, Tech-Takeback launched RevaluElectricals - a residential collection service for small electricals. Supported by Brighton & Hove City Council and the Recycle Your Electricals campaign, RevaluElecticals continues to collect and refurbish electricals from households across the city.
Tech-Takeback also collect and refurbish electricals from businesses. To find out more about this service please visit our Business Services pages. Your data security is our top priority, visit our Data Security section to find out how all data bearing devices are processed.
In May 2022, Tech-Takeback took on two unoccupied commercial spaces in central Brighton. The first became Revaluit, a pay-what-you-can shop, offering refurbished electrical items which have been collected and refurbished through the RevaluElectricals scheme.
Adjacent to Revaluit, the Revaluit Hub serves as an event and workshop space for community initiatives that promote the circular economy.
