Ecotech Services specialises in recycling almost all electrical, electronic, and computer equipment. We transform e-waste into e-scrap, then into reusable materials—reducing landfill and supporting the local economy.
We serve everyone from individuals dropping off a few items to corporate clients requiring large-scale collections and clean-outs.
How We Recycle
Our world-class dismantling process breaks equipment into key materials such as metals, plastics, cables, and circuit boards. Wherever possible, materials are processed locally to support New Zealand businesses.
Secure Data Destruction
We provide certified data destruction without unnecessarily damaging equipment. Improper destruction by non-technical methods often leaves data intact—we ensure it’s permanently removed.
What We Offer
We do not purchase equipment unless it forms part of a large, high-value consignment.
Items are reused or recycled to minimise environmental impact.
- Free drop-off at our premises (no booking required)
- Collection services across the Christchurch area
- Corporate clean-ups for office relocations or upgrades
(IT, electrical, electronic equipment, plus furniture and office supplies)
