Do you have a desktop phone handset that is no longer in use?

Recycling request

If you've switched to the Microsoft Teams Phone service and still have a desktop handset on your desk, please follow the guidance below.

This includes handsets from meeting rooms, shared spaces, hot-desking areas, and PhD rooms.

Steps for Handset Removal:      

  • If your computer is connected to the network via your handset: 
    • Unplug the network cable from your computer or docking station.    
    • Unplug the network cable from the handset port marked “Network” and plug this *cable directly into your computer or docking station.   
  • If your handset has a separate power adapter: 
    • unplug this from the mains and bundle it with the handset for collection.    

Steps for Removing Cables:

If you require a longer network cable to reconnect your device to the wired network socket, please submit a request via IT.Services@lboro.ac.uk 

Recycling Area:  

Your designated collection area will be confirmed by your Department / School. IT Services has arrangements in place with Cisco for the recycling of handsets.   

Please contact IT.Services@lboro.ac.uk with the number of handsets you have and their location, so our IT Assets team can arrange for collection.
