Laboratory Equipment Resale, Recycling and Clearance
From surplus to sustainable: Turning idle laboratory equipment into value
Every laboratory has them – instruments and assets that sit unused, taking up valuable space and budget. Whether it’s older analytical equipment, decommissioned freezers, or duplicate instruments, surplus assets often end up forgotten or stored indefinitely.
At Harrow Green, we give these assets a second life.
Through our laboratory equipment resale, recycling and clearance services, we help clients recover value, reduce waste, and ensure sustainable, compliant asset management.
We work with leading universities, research facilities and pharmaceutical organisations to deliver auditable, turnkey solutions that manage the full process, from identification and removal to resale or certified recycling.
Laboratory Equipment Resale: Returning Value to Science
We manage laboratory logistics and clearance services for several of the UK’s leading second-hand laboratory equipment dealers.
These trusted partnerships mean that when equipment retains market value, we can coordinate the full resale process, including collection, packaging, transport, and delivery.
For laboratories with multiple redundant assets, we can organise a complete resale workstream, maximising asset recovery and reducing disposal costs.
Key benefits:
- Recover financial value from surplus and redundant assets
- Reduce WEEE disposal costs and landfill use
- Free up valuable bench or floor space
- Support your organisation’s ESG and sustainability goals.
And where second-hand dealers typically stop at purchase or collection, Harrow Green provides the logistics, clearance, and disposal capability they often lack, creating a true turnkey service that covers resale, removal, and end-of-life recycling.
Sustainable Recycling for End-of-Life Equipment
When assets have reached the end of their useful life, our certified laboratory equipment recycling service ensures they are processed in the most sustainable way possible.
As a Waste Carrier Licence holder and WEEE-compliant operator, we manage the entire process:
- Removal and segregation of end-of-life equipment
- Safe transport using our trained logistics teams
- Material recovery and recycling through approved partners
- Data sanitisation and decontamination as required
- Full chain-of-custody documentation and certificates of recycling.
This guarantees that every item is processed responsibly, not sent to landfill, with maximum material recovery from electronics, metals, and plastics.
Full Laboratory Clearances: Equipment, Consumables & Chemicals
A laboratory clearance is the perfect time to review, audit, and optimise your assets.
Our experienced auditing teams and project managers can incorporate equipment resale, recycling, and chemical or sample disposal as part of an integrated clearance project.
This includes:
- Equipment identification and condition auditing
- Resale, reuse, or recycling planning
- Removal and compliant disposal of consumables, chemicals, and samples
- Secure segregation, documentation, and waste transfer notes
For hazardous or biological materials, our in-house specialists manage all required compliance, working alongside our Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors (DGSA) and ADR-qualified drivers.
