Tech-Takeback (TTB)
Pop-up shops Tech-Takeback was set up by David, Cat and Andy to allow residents to donate old tech for secure data erasure follwed by re-use where tech is given a 2nd life (if feasible) with charities Over the last 18 months we have held TTB's in partnership with Brighton & Hove City Council and the City of London Due to COVID 19 - Tech-Takeback will not be running any pop-ups for the near future. When the situation changes we will be looking to support communities get back on their feet. In the meantime Stay Safe!

The City of London, Freegle, SOENECS and EraseMy Data, working in partnership, are pleased to announce that there will be a pop-up shop between 26th and 28th September 2019.
We know that there are a number of tech consumer-purchasing periods throughout the year which result in many bits of old tech being stored in drawers never to be used again, or worse, thrown away irresponsibly.
The average iPhone contains 14 precious metals and a history of your life! The data you store on these items (including photos, videos, contacts, texts, e-mails, passwords, account details and credit card data) is precious to you but equally valuable to a criminal. Daily we are all made aware of the risks to our personal information and the threat of identity fraud and data breaches.
We can help you to declutter and dispose of your current tech safely and enable you to support those less able to purchase new tech by giving your old tech a second life and enabling City of London charities to redistribute it.
How can we help you safely give your old tech a second life?
By visiting our pop-up shop with any of your tech - mobile/smart phone, desk top computer, laptop, tablet, games console, external hard drive, USB memory stick, monitor screen, cables, keyboard, mouse, camera and video camera items, you will be able to:

- responsibly, safely and securely ensure the erasure of your tech of data (your data will be wiped using a government compliant data wiping service)
- benefit the digitally-deprived by enabling responsible re-use of the item, giving it a second life (we will triage all items received to identify suitability for secure refurbishment, re-use or recycling)
- enable responsible and correct re-use of the components if your item is at the end of its life (the resources and materials used in creating your tech are not destroyed but re-used).
This project is funded by the City of London, with match funding from EraseMyData, Freegle and SOENECS.
