Did you know that 83% of old IT equipment still contains discoverable data?
Certified data erasure on every handset
A user-level factory reset does not constitute certified data destruction. Corporate mobile devices contain email accounts, authentication apps, contacts, messaging data and corporate system access. Ego Technology applies a certified data wipe to every handset, permanently removing all corporate data and configurations, supported by a serial-level erasure report.
Client responsibility before collection: MDM unenrollment and Activation Lock removal (for Apple devices) must be completed before handsets are handed over. We can advise if required.
See our certified data destruction page for full detail on method and documentation.
What you receive
An erasure report confirming certified data destruction on each handset.
Financial rebate summary, asset valuations and rebate returned per device where applicable.
WEEE-compliant disposal confirmation, for devices with no residual value.
ESG reporting data, available to support sustainability reporting.
Financial rebates
Mobile phones, particularly recent-generation iPhones and flagship Android handsets, generate the highest resale value of any device category in a typical corporate estate. Where devices are less than three years old and in working condition, Ego Technology carries out an asset valuation on intake and returns a financial rebate to your organisation.
For organisations managing regular fleet refreshes of 50, 200 or 1,000+ handsets, this rebate can substantially offset upgrade costs. See our technology buyback service for how valuation works.

Frequently asked
questions
What is the safest way to dispose of corporate mobile phones?
The safest way to dispose of corporate mobile phones is through a professional ITAD provider who applies certified data destruction to every device. This means a full, software-certified data wipe, not a factory reset, with a serial-level erasure report issued for compliance purposes. MDM unenrolment and Activation Lock removal should be completed by the client before handover.
Can businesses recover value from old mobile phones?
Yes, mobile phones offer the strongest rebate potential of any device category. Recent-generation iPhones and flagship Android handsets in working condition can generate significant financial returns through Ego Technology’s asset valuation and remarketing process. The rebate is returned to your organisation as part of the disposal programme.
Which IT disposal companies offer equipment buyback for mobile phones?
Ego Technology provides equipment buyback and financial rebates for corporate mobile phone disposals. Devices are assessed on intake, valued against current market rates and a rebate returned for qualifying handsets. This sits alongside certified data destruction and WEEE-compliant disposal within a single managed programme.
Are corporate mobile phones covered by WEEE regulations?
Yes. Mobile phones are classified as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) under UK regulations. Ego Technology is a licensed WEEE carrier and AATF-approved operator. Handsets not suitable for reuse are processed for WEEE-compliant material recovery, with zero to landfill as standard.
