“It’s not e-waste until it’s wasted.”
— Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit

Reboot Stirling is a community-powered tech refurbishment project focused on reducing e-waste and improving digital inclusion.

By giving technology a second life, we aim to help reduce both the environmental and monetary cost of technology; supporting people in our community who need access to digital tools.

How We Help

What We Offer Businesses

At Reboot Stirling, we offer local businesses a hassle-free way to responsibly dispose of unwanted IT equipment—completely free of charge

Free Data Cleansing

We securely wipe all data to 100% compliance with the strictest UK legislative standards, giving you peace of mind. Each business receives an official certificate of data erasure for auditing and compliance purposes.

Free Collection

If your organisation has a number of unwanted laptops/devices, then we want to make the process as simple as possible for you.  Use this webpage to arrange for us to come to you and pickup your devices.

Positive Impact

Partnering with us demonstrates your commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Your devices are either refurbished to support digital inclusion or recycled responsibly, reducing e-waste and benefiting local communities.

  • Codebase Stirling

    "We were looking for a way to give our old laptops to a good cause, and chose Reboot Stirling because they remove all the data, and provide a certificate-of-erasure that we can keep on file. They were great; really customer focused, friendly and made it all so convenient and easy, thanks guys!"

  • Ebay customer who bought one of our refurbished laptops

    “Absolutely amazing level of service and a fantastic product which way exceeded my expectation.  The laptop arrived in pristine condition and was packaged extensively to protect it. A friend recommended the organization to me and I will 100% be recommended it to everyone I meet. If only high street retailers were as professional, caring and dedicated.”

  • Camphill Blair Drummond

    "They even came and picked up our unwanted laptops...we had our certificate-of-erasure within 2 weeks, and are so glad our old devices were put to good use at a fantastic project that we had luckily heard about through Toms presentation at Stirling Councils Employer Engagement Forum"

How We Help our Community

At Reboot Stirling, every refurbished laptop makes a difference. By extending the life of tech, we support digital inclusion across Stirling—helping individuals and families who may not otherwise be able to afford essential IT equipment.

Through our partnership with Stirling Coucil and community groups, some of our refurbished devices are distributed directly to low-income households, giving people the tools they need to access education, job opportunities, and vital online services.

We also create hands-on volunteering and skills development opportunities, helping people gain experience in tech refurbishment, data security, and sustainability. Every donation fuels local learning, reduces inequality, and strengthens our community.

Why Refurbish?

  • Less waste, more impact

    The UK is one of the world’s biggest producers of e-waste - refurbishing keeps valuable tech out of landfill.

  • Slash CO2 by over 50%

    Refurbishing a laptop saves hundreds of kilos of carbon emissions compared to buying new.

  • Protect natural resources

    Every reused device reduces demand for rare earth mining and resource extraction.

  • Affordable tech for all

    Refurbished devices cost up to 75% less, making technology accessible where it’s needed most.
