Case Study: IT Asset Collection for a Boarding School in Scotland
Chris Hare, August 2025
S2S Group partnered with a prestigious boarding school in Scotland to support them with electronics recycling.
The school approached S2S Group to arrange for the collection of 316 redundant IT assets which needed to be securely disposed of. As with all projects in the education sector, data security was a top priority for this collection, with compliance front of mind during the recycling process.
By partnering with a secure ITAD management partner like S2S Group, educational institutions can ensure their sensitive data is protected, obligations are met under GDPR and WEEE regulations, and sustainability goals are front of mind. Read on to find out exactly how we helped a boarding school in Scotland with their ITAD requirements.
Project Overview
As we have worked with several schools before on various projects, we were well positioned to ensure this work was carried out smoothly, and most importantly, securely. We also have strong links within Scotland, with a secure premises located in Glasgow.
To ensure an efficient ITAD process for this boarding school, we liaised with the site manager to arrange for the collection of 316 redundant IT assets at a time that was convenient for them, managing busy school schedules.
Upon collecting the assets, we took extra care when handling the equipment to protect the highly sensitive data it contained. All assets were collected and taken back to our secure facility in Glasgow to be processed and recycled
What We Did
The collection team at S2S Group worked alongside the site manager to ensure all redundant equipment was collected and accounted for.
We collected:
Once collected, the electronic items were transported to our secure processing facility to be handled carefully and compliantly. After processing, our on-site team devised a list of all equipment which could be recycled.
Solution Delivered
Central to this process was S2S Group’s promise to provide a secure and compliant operation.
The headteacher at the school commented: “A big thank you to S2S Group and S2S Group Scotland for collecting and recycling our old IT kit. We’ve been working together since 2023, and it’s been great to have a partner we can rely on. They always stick to the schedule, provide all the paperwork on time, and their certified service gives us peace of mind. It’s good to know our old tech is being dealt with properly and responsibly.”
