Revised again

Blocks, yellow, and something to look at

Three grounds now alternate down the page, the way your reference sites do it. Yellow does the links and the hover states. And the process is a drawn diagram rather than four more paragraphs.

Secure IT disposal that keeps kit in use

Terraguard collects, wipes and reuses retired business IT so it re-enters the economy instead of becoming waste. Certified, auditable, and usually free.

What happens

Where your equipment goes, and who is responsible for it

The moment we load your kit, the data on it becomes our responsibility rather than yours. Here is the whole chain, and the document that drops out at each handover.

Yours Ours, from the point of collection liability transfers here 1. Collection 2. Data destroyed 3. Audit 4. Reuse Two vetted staff,our own vehicles NCSC standard.Failures destroyed Every item loggedagainst its serial 80% trade, 10% B2B,10% donated Waste Transfer Note Erasure record, Asset Inventory Sheet CO2 report signed on the day per serial number and Certificate of Destruction on request Collection and transport are never subcontracted. Everything is destroyed at our own site in Wiltshire. The Asset Inventory Sheet and Certificate of Data Destruction arrive within 28 working days.
Every handover produces a document. That is what makes an audit reconcile: pick one item, follow it through, and the numbers agree at every step.

Takes about a minute

How much carbon is sitting in your storeroom?

Count the devices, get a figure. No obligation and nothing to install. It is an estimate based on average device weights, not the verified number, which comes from an itemised report after collection.

Proof

What the difficult jobs actually looked like

We never name a client. The story works without it, and the numbers are real.

Public sector

Two sites, one deadline, one audit trail

A regional council office closing at short notice, with equipment across two locations and a fixed handback date. Consolidated into a single chain of custody and one environmental report.

Read the case study
Multi-site refresh

A nationwide technology refresh

Equipment replaced across multiple sites on a rolling schedule, with asset tracking kept intact so nothing went missing between the old estate and the new one.

Our own test

We paid recovery specialists to try to get it back

Rather than assert that our erasure works, we sent wiped drives to data recovery experts and asked them to break it. The write up is on our news page.

The questions everyone asks

Four straight answers

+

Is it really free, and what is the catch?

Usually, yes. We recover value from the hardware by repairing and reselling it, and that pays for the collection. The condition is that the collection has to be financially viable, meaning enough reusable equipment to cover the cost of doing the job. We tell you which side of that line you are on before you commit.

+

How do I know the data has actually gone?

Drives are erased in line with current NCSC guidance, and any drive that fails is physically destroyed at our own site rather than passed on. You get a Certificate of Data Destruction listing every device by serial number.

+

What paperwork do I get?

A Waste Transfer Note on the day, then an Asset Inventory Sheet and a Certificate of Data Destruction within 28 working days. A CO2 report on request.

+

How far do you travel?

We are based in Wiltshire and collect nationwide, with most work along the M4 corridor and the Thames Valley. Destruction happens at our own facility, so we do not offer destruction at your premises.

All frequently asked questions

Where the kit ends up

Reuse first, and some of it goes to people who need it

Retired IT is a second supply chain, not a waste stream. Most of what we collect is repaired and sold on, which is what keeps collections free. A share is donated to charities and community groups. We reuse and repurpose as much as possible and recycle what is left, which runs at around 95% reused or repurposed, though it varies from collection to collection.

This gift goes far beyond equipment. It represents hope, opportunity, and the power of kindness in action.

The three decisions in this version

Blocks

Seven bands down the page: Ink, white, pale blue, white, Ink, pale blue, Ink. No two adjacent bands share a ground, so each section reads as its own idea without needing a rule or a border between them. That is the pattern all five of your reference sites use, and it is why they feel less dense than ours despite carrying as much text.

Pale blue is a proposed addition and needs your approval. It is Sky at 10% over white rather than a new colour, so it stays derived from the palette. Your guidelines say no colour outside the six plus the grey ramp, so this is a deviation and your call. The alternative is using Mist as the third ground, which is safer but reads grey rather than blue.

Yellow

Yellow now does links, the active navigation item, the FAQ markers, and the card hover. But only on Ink grounds, because yellow on white measures 1.49 against a 4.5 minimum and is genuinely unreadable rather than merely off-brand.

So on the light blocks, hovering a card turns it Ink and the yellow appears then. Try it on the three case study cards. You get the effect you asked for, and it stays inside the contrast rule you confirmed in August.

If you would rather have yellow links on white anyway, that is your ruling to make, but I would want it recorded as a deliberate exception rather than slipped in, because it is the one thing on the site an accessibility audit would fail you on.

Graphics

The process is now a drawn diagram instead of four more paragraphs. It shows the one thing prose cannot: where liability transfers, and which document drops out at each handover. That is the question buyers actually have, and it was previously buried in body copy.

The calculator block has device icons, and the impact section has a marked slot for a real photograph from your own gallery. I have not invented imagery. Your brand order is icon-led graphics first, then real photos, then Canva stock, and the site should follow it.

Worth saying: the diagram is drawn in code, so it is sharp at any size, works in both themes and needs no image file. In Wix it would be pasted as an SVG.

Mockup, 18 September 2026. Not published, not live. Now aligned to the approved design system: Antic on the H1 and H2, pill buttons, cards with a shadow and no border. The blocks and the yellow rule are the two things this adds to that system, and both were your call.
