Case study

MakeITgood: the whole operation, one platform

A Watford ITAD & WEEE recycler runs collections, wiping, certificates, compliance and resale on WipeTrail — today.

MakeITgood is a UK IT asset disposal and WEEE recycling operator based in Watford. It’s the first operator to run its entire business on WipeTrail — the lighthouse deployment that proves the platform on real devices, every day.

The challenge

Like most independent operators, MakeITgood needed to do several things well at once: collect IT from business customers, securely wipe or destroy data, prove it with certificates, stay WEEE-compliant, and resell refurbished kit — all without a five-figure enterprise ERP or a wall of spreadsheets.

The solution

MakeITgood runs the whole operation on WipeTrail: collections and driver scheduling, intake scanning with serial-level chain of custody, data erasure and destruction with one-click certificates, WEEE tracking, a client portal for their business customers, and a refurbished-IT storefront.

The outcome

  • Whole lifecycle — collect to sold — in one system.
  • Four certificate types: erasure, destruction, WEEE and reuse.
  • Every device traced individually, end to end.
  • Ready for the October 2026 DWTS mandate.
