Networking and Server Equipment

We accept all types of networking and server, or storage, hardware. depending on the specification of the equipment, we might be able to offer a discount, or take the equipment free of charge; as there may be a market value for some of the non-data bearing component parts.

This includes things like servers, tape libraries, switches, routers, hubs, wireless access points and firewalls.

Printers and Consumables

Galaxy accepts all types of printers including label and receipt printers, desktop and MFD printers, photocopiers, scanners and faxes.

We also collect ink jet cartridges, toners cartridges, fusers, maintenance kits, and waste toners.

We will check to ensure there is no hard disk in the printer; but if there is we will remove and destroy this.

We can provide a toner bin for your office, if you need one.

Audio Visual Equipment

This includes things like projectors, speakers, smartboards and remote controls.

Other recording devices and accessories

So, things like CCTV, cameras, drones, fit bits.

Batteries and Power Supplies

We take all types of batteries: including lead acid, lithium ion, "household" (AAA, AA, C and D cells), and nickel cadmium batteries.

We will also take UPS systems and other types of power supplies.

Most hardware and electrical waste contains batteries; which we carefully remove during disassembly.

But we can also accept all types of "loose" batteries; and can provde you with a battery bin for office if you need one.

We are happy to collect all forms of packaging and dry recycling; such as carboard, plastics and polystyrene. We will take this to other recycling sites within the Guernsey Recycling Group.

If you have anything not listed above, please get in touch, and we will either confirm that we can accept it - or point you in the right direction of someone who can!
