As a dentist, doctor or other medical professional, you work with technology on a daily basis. Over time, it’s inevitable that you’ll need to get rid of your electronic equipment at one point or another. Whether an old computer monitor stops working or you upgrade a high-tech piece of equipment to a newer model, have you ever considered what happens to your old equipment when it no longer serves it purpose?
Throwing it away is not a good option, since it doesn’t degrade quickly and could end up in the landfill for hundreds of years. Fortunately, there’s a better solution. Tech recycling services, such as those offered by TechWaste Recycling, focus on recycling and reusing old tech parts. Instead of leaving various electronic parts in heaps of garbage to break down and eventually crumble away, recycling services use those same parts for new purposes.
Still not convinced tech recycling is beneficial for you? Here are some of the ways participating in such a service can benefit your medical or dental practice.
Security
There’s a lot of confidential information kept on computers, especially in dental practices and doctor’s offices. If a computer stops working and you throw it in the trash, how can you be certain someone else won’t come along and figure out a way to extract the data on it? Recycling your old computers and tech is an excellent way to ensure the security of your information. Certain tech recycling companies offer secured data destruction as part of their services.
Marketing
Though it shouldn’t be your primary motivation, you can boost your reputation by making choices that are good for the environment. Use your choice to recycle old tech as a way to market your practice and show your commitment to making the world a better place. You don’t have to go overboard. A simple mention of your environmentally friendly choices in a blog post or newsletter is a great way to tell your current and potential patients that you’re responsible.
Financial Incentives
Some recycling companies will buy some of your old tech off you. Keep in mind that only certain types of equipment are worth any money. Want to know what they are? Check with your local recycling company to find out which items they’ll pay you for.
Decisiveness
When you make the decision that you’ll always recycle your old tech, you never have to wonder what you’re going to do with your electronic waste. Decisiveness can go a long way toward greater efficiency. It also eliminates the guessing game your employees would otherwise have to play each time a computer or other piece of equipment broke down.
Peace of Mind
Last but not least, you can gain significant peace of mind from recycling instead of tossing things in landfills. Experts estimate that more than four million tons of waste are added to landfills every single year. Don’t contribute to the problem.
