Data centre decommissioning is the safe clearing out of servers and related equipment when you no longer need them. We plan the job with you, remove the equipment, wipe or destroy the data on every drive, and recycle the hardware. It applies to a server room in your office, rented space in a data centre, or a whole site you’re closing.
Decommissioning After a Cloud Migration
Moving your systems to the cloud is only half the job. Once everything has been moved and checked, the servers, storage and network gear left behind are no longer needed. They still hold your data, though, and they take up space and power.
That’s where we come in. We collect the old hardware from your office or server room, wipe or destroy the drives, and recycle the equipment, so nothing is left behind.

Yes. Once your systems have moved, we collect the old servers, storage and network equipment you no longer need. We clear the hardware on your site, not the cloud itself.

Quick and efficient and nice to work with. Helped me with some technical problems I was having at home while he was doing my e-recycling pick up. Lovely guy, happy to recommend.

Had an awesome experience with Iris Recycling. Super reliable—they stepped in and saved the day when another company bailed last minute. They agreed to a next-day pickup without hesitation. Can’t recommend them enough.

Great working with Ken from Iris, he arrived on time, was friendly and took away our old computer screens for recycling/reuse.
Will definitely be in touch again when we have our next clean out!
Thanks.
