ManxOS

Complete on-site package

Secure PC recycling, refurbishment & certified data destruction

Stuck with old PCs and laptops you cannot legally or safely dispose of? Without certified data destruction, retired machines become a data-protection risk — and organisations remain stuck with them.

The problem we solve

Schools, businesses, charities, and public-sector teams routinely retire fleets of desktops and laptops. Scrapping or reselling without a proper wipe process exposes residual data. Storing them “until later” creates:

  • Data protection risk — residual data on drives you still hold.
  • Storage cost — cupboards, rooms, and insurance exposure.
  • Compliance pressure — auditors expect documented disposal.
  • Wasted value — usable hardware that could be refreshed.

ManxOS Commercial provides a single, professional package: secure processing, certified destruction documentation, refurbishment where appropriate, staff training, and access to discounted ManxOS machines that are ready to deploy.

What’s included

A complete service — not just collection of scrap.

Secure collection / on-site processing

We process equipment on your premises or under agreed chain-of-custody. Devices stay under controlled handling until destruction is complete.

Certified data destruction

Documented wipe procedures with certificates suitable for internal records and data-protection evidence trails. Methods scoped to the engagement.

Professional refurbishment

Where hardware is viable, we clean, test, and prepare machines for reuse — extending life and reducing e-waste.

Staff training

Practical training for your team on secure handling, intake processes, and what “certified destruction” means for day-to-day operations.

Discounted ManxOS PCs

Certified-wiped machines with ManxOS pre-installed — returned to you or available for purchase at a discount. Immediate usable capacity.

Sustainability & sovereignty

Keep computing local, cut e-waste, and align with Isle of Man data-sovereignty goals rather than shipping problems off-island without process.

Benefits for your organisation

Legal & compliance confidence

Documented destruction supports GDPR-aligned disposal decisions.

Real data security

Residual data is addressed before reuse, resale, or recycling.

Free up space & risk

Clear the cupboards without creating a new liability.

Cost savings

Reuse hardware; buy discounted ManxOS machines instead of new fleet.

Sustainability

Frequently asked questions

Is data really destroyed — and will we get certificates?
Yes. Certified data destruction with documentation is a core part of the package. Certificates and a job summary are provided for your records and audit trail. Exact methods are confirmed in the engagement scope (drive type, volume, and sensitivity).
Do you work on-site?
Yes. The standard package is designed for on-site or controlled processing so devices do not leave your care without agreement. Off-site options can be discussed where chain-of-custody requirements allow.
What happens to the hardware afterwards?
Viable machines can be refurbished and returned with ManxOS, offered back as discounted ready units, or responsibly recycled if beyond economic repair. You choose the outcome during scoping.
Is staff training really included?
A secure-handling training module is part of the complete package so your team understands intake, labelling, and why certified destruction matters. Longer workshops can be added via our training services.
Who do we pay?
All commercial payments go to Timmisun Limited via the official Tide Business account. Use the Tide buttons on this site or the payment link we send with your quote — never pay personal accounts for ManxOS Commercial services.
Do you only serve the Isle of Man?
We are based around the ManxOS / Isle of Man mission and prioritise Island organisations. Off-island work may be available by arrangement — ask when you request a quote.
How is this different from a scrap collector?
Scrap collection often focuses on weight and metal recovery. We focus on data security, certificates, refurbishment, staff process, and redeployable Linux PCs — solving the legal and practical reasons organisations remain stuck with old machines.
