IT Reuse Initiative

We are working in collaboration with XS Resources to collect unwanted but working IT equipment in North-east Scotland. All donated equipment will get refurbished and resold. We receive a part of the profit which will be reinvested into our community support services.

What is CFINE's impact in the community?

Watch our documentary film explaining the work we do and our impact.

Data wiping:

We are able to manage data-bearing equipment with our Partner, Re-Tek UK Ltd, wiping the data using accredited software. If you would prefer a more individual service or evidence that your equipment has been data-wiped, please make a note of the serial number, and contact XS Resources for more information.
