MTR Trade-In are a company that aim to save on the amount of electronic waste we keep indoors or end up throwing into landfill. By recycling your old unwanted devices we can save polluting our planet and instead give older devices a new lease of life with a new owner, or if a device is beyond repair or use then it can be recycled responsibly in a way that won’t damage our environment. The parts can then be reused for other purposes.

We understand there may be sensitive or personal data on your device that you have been unable to remove. We run a full, secure data wipe service to remove all data from devices in accordance with the Data Protection Act*, so you can sell to us with peace of mind that all your personal data will be securely removed

If we receive a device with a SIM or Memory card enclosed it will be destroyed.

* Devices which are beyond economical repair or cannot be physically data wiped will be recycled
