Passion for IT Recycling
At Whale IT Recycling, we put all our passion into recycling IT hardware and electronics. We are happy to help you process your old electronic devices in an environmentally friendly and profitable way. We relieve businesses and institutions with our pickup service. Additionally, recycling old electronics in our social workplace contributes to meeting an SROI obligation.
IT Recycling in a social workplace
By working with social workplaces, where people with diverse backgrounds and talents are given the opportunity to re-enter the workforce, we want to take our social responsibility even further. Dismantling electronics is a task that is ideally suited for these groups. It allows them to engage in meaningful activities and develop their skills, while contributing to a greener world. Of course, the workplace we collaborate with also holds the strict WEEELABEX certification. Does your company have an SROI obligation? Having your old hardware processed by our social partner contributes to this! Valuable raw materials are reintegrated into the economy, while employees gain opportunities for reintegration into society – a double circular solution!
Manual dismantling for best recycling
We believe in the power of manual dismantling. This approach results in the cleanest streams, leading to higher recycling percentages and less environmental impact. Our dedicated team carefully dismantles and recycles each component, preserving valuable materials while safely removing hazardous substances. By prioritizing manual processing, we not only improve recycling quality but also support social return. Additionally, some dismantled parts can be reused as products, further extending the lifespan of electronics.
WEEELABEX-certified, what does it mean?
We place great importance on environmental awareness and sustainability. That’s why we are proud to be WEEELABEX-certified for the manual processing of old electronics. This certification is only awarded to organizations that meet strict environmental, health, and safety standards for electronics processing. By entrusting your old electronics to Whale Recycling, you can be fully assured of responsible and sustainabledisposal, in compliance with the highest industry standards.
Easy collection
Removing old electronics should be as easy as possible for businesses. That’s why Whale IT Recycling offers multiple options to assist you. We can pick up your old electronics with our convenient pickup service. Prefer to recycle at your own pace? We can place collection containers, such as pallet boxes or bins, at your location. Once the electronics arrive at our facility, they are sorted and weighed. Every weight is clearly listed on the invoice, and if you have any questions, we provide detailed information, including photos, for full transparency. After weighing, we issue a credit invoice, which is paid shortly after.

For individuals and businesses who prefer cash payment for their old hardware, we recommend our sister company Krommenhoek Metals. Krommenhoek Metals operates two fully covered drop-off locations in Rotterdam and Wateringen, where you can drop off old electronics and receive cash payment on the spot. Additionally, Krommenhoek provides an up-to-date overview of current purchase prices for old electronics, ensuring full transparency.
Circuit board recycling
We specialize in buying and sorting circuit boards for recycling. Whale buys large batches of sorted or unsorted circuit boards globally. We can quickly assess the value of circuit boards based on clear photos, which can be sent via WhatsApp. Old circuit boards contain metals and precious metals like copper and gold. Thanks to our experience with sorting circuit boards, we can determine the value of circuit boards through a visual inspection.

Data destruction in IT Recycling
When disposing of your old IT hardware, you naturally want to be sure that your data won’t fall into the wrong hands. That’s why we offer IT Recycling combined with data destruction. Whale shreds hard drives in-house into very small pieces of 9-11mm. During the destruction process, each hard drive is carefully registered. A registration and destruction certificate is always included, so you can prove that your IT hardware was disposed of in a GDPR-compliant manner.
