Hull sits at the far end of the M62 — the same motorway that starts a few miles from our door. It is a long run, but a straight one, and one we build into our existing eastbound schedule.
Hull is the far end of our eastbound corridor, around seventy-five miles away, and one of the simplest journeys we make: the M62 runs almost the entire distance from junction 24 near our facility to the A63 on the edge of the city.
We combine Hull collections with our regular eastbound corridor work rather than treating them as standalone trips, which is what makes them efficient — though our vehicles travel far further afield than Hull as a matter of routine, so the distance itself is not the obstacle it might appear. What actually matters is whether the load justifies the journey. A bit of flexibility on your side about timing translates directly into a better price on ours.

Hull has undergone a significant economic shift toward renewable energy, with the offshore wind sector and its supply chain now a major employer alongside the city's long-standing port and logistics industries. Those sectors bring engineering-heavy IT estates: design and simulation workstations with high-value components, ruggedised field equipment, and site-based systems in port and industrial environments.
The city also hosts the University of Hull, Hull City Council's estate, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, and a substantial digital and creative sector that grew considerably following the city's 2017 UK City of Culture year. Add the food production base across the wider East Riding and the mix is genuinely broad.
Hull's renewable energy and port businesses retire a different kind of equipment from a city-centre office: ruggedised laptops and tablets used on vessels and turbine sites, site cabin desktops, survey and inspection kit, and networking hardware from port and industrial installations. Because it spends its working life somewhere other than head office, it tends to come back in batches — and often with less paperwork than it should have. Field devices carry data like any other, and anything with a swollen or damaged battery needs flagging so it travels separately.
Renewable energy businesses also tend to hold themselves to demanding sustainability reporting, which makes the disposal data genuinely matter. If your ESG team needs reuse rates and landfill diversion figures they can stand behind, our guide to IT disposal and ESG reporting sets out what to ask for — and what to be wary of.
Where the equipment is recent and well specified, ask for a valuation before you book disposal; technology buyback explains how we assess it.
Tell us roughly what you have and we will come back with a straight answer on cost and timing.
