Tech-Takeback Launches Tech Amnesty ahead of International E-Waste Day and Windows 10 Switch-Off

Businesses offered FREE secure tech collection and data erasure to prevent e-waste and support digital inclusion

Tech-TakeBack’s Tech Amnesty help UK businesses responsibly pass on unwanted IT equipment in support of International E-Waste Day (14 October 2025).

The upcoming Windows 10 switch-off - also on 14 October 2025 - means millions of devices are being upgraded, leaving businesses unsure what to do with their old equipment. Without secure and convenient solutions, these devices are often hoarded or risk ending up in landfill.

Businesses booking a collection at techtakeback.com/tech_amnesty will benefit from:

• Secure collections of redundant or underused IT devices
• Certified data wiping or destruction
• A proportion of reusable devices donated to local people who need them
• Comprehensive ESE Impact reporting (tonnage collected, CO₂ saved, Social Value)

“This campaign couldn’t come at a better time,” says Mimi Moll, Circular Impact Lead at Tech-Takeback. “The Windows 10 switch-off is creating a surge of unwanted devices. We’re working with the local business community to ensure these devices are securely processed and, wherever possible, reused to support digital inclusion.”
