Medical Equipment
Posted or Updated on 26 Jan 2026
Do you have any medical equipment provided by Medequip that's no longer needed?
Medequip can arrange collection of equipment that is no longer needed, which can then be assessed, safety tested, repaired, reused or recycled. Medequip will also collect equipment with a similar Essex Cares Limited (ECL) label.
