Nationwide circuit board recycling for businesses.

At MetalCycle, we provide specialist PCB recycling and circuit board disposal services for businesses of all sizes across the UK.

A printed circuit board (PCB) is the board inside almost every electronic device that holds and connects its components. Circuit boards contain copper tracks, tin solder and small amounts of precious metals, including gold, silver and palladium. That makes printed circuit board recycling one of the most valuable ways to recover metal from electronic waste.

Whether you’re an IT asset disposal company, an electronics manufacturer, or a business clearing out old equipment, our circuit board recycling service makes PCB disposal simple, secure and fully compliant.

Why recycling circuit boards matters for your business.

Circuit boards contain metals that are expensive and energy-intensive to mine. They can also contain lead solder and flame retardants that must not end up in landfill. Recycling your PCBs properly recovers that value and keeps harmful materials out of the environment.

When your business recycles circuit boards with MetalCycle, boards are graded, prepared and sent to specialist refiners. There, the copper and precious metals are recovered and returned to the supply chain. That supports a circular economy, helps you meet your WEEE responsibilities and gives you a clear audit trail for your environmental reporting.
