HGC Technologies buys used business laptops, MacBooks, desktops, servers and monitors from London offices, agencies, schools and IT providers. We collect free from anywhere in London with our own van, erase every drive to NIST SP 800-88 and IEEE 2883 with a certificate per serial number, and pay at the time of collection.

We are based just outside London in Watford, and collect across the capital and collect across the capital — frommdash; from serviced and co-working offices in Shoreditch and the City to agencies, studios and schools in every borough.

Collections from London offices

Many London collections are from buildings with loading bays, goods lifts and booking slots. Tell us the building’s rules when you send your list and we will work to them. Equipment can be boxed in advance and left with reception or building management, as long as someone authorised is available to sign the collection manifest and seller’s declaration.

How it works

  1. Send us your list — make, model and quantity, or photos of the labels.
  2. Firm offer once we know specifications, condition, chargers and account status.
  3. Free collection on a day and time slot that suit you and the building.
  4. Paid at collection by bank transfer, after the equipment is checked against the signed manifest.
  5. Certificates and asset register after erasure, and a Waste Transfer Note for anything recycled.

Before you sell: Macs and managed laptops

MacBooks must be signed out of iCloud with Find My turned off — a reset does not remove Activation Lock (Mac checklist). Windows laptops managed with Intune must be removed from Intune, Autopilot and Entra ID (guide). Doing this before collection is the single biggest thing you can do to get the full offer.

Frequently asked questions

Do you collect from anywhere in London?

Yes. Collection is free from any London borough, and from anywhere in mainland UK, with our own vehicle and two people.

Can we leave the equipment with building reception?

Equipment can be boxed and staged in advance, but someone authorised by your organisation needs to sign the collection manifest and seller’s declaration on the day.

Do you buy MacBooks from London agencies and start-ups?

Yes, Intel and Apple silicon, including units that will not power on. Every Mac must be signed out of iCloud with Find My turned off before collection.

When do we get paid?

At the time of collection, by bank transfer, after our driver checks the equipment against the signed manifest.

Is there a minimum quantity?

No. We buy a single MacBook or a whole office.
