It’s inevitable with a growing business – whether in company size or through technological advancements – that there will come a time to dispose of IT assets. E-waste and tech gear, like computers, can often be difficult to get rid of in an environmentally-conscious manner, as well as with complete protection for any lingering personal data. Thankfully, there are companies like TechWaste Recycling that take care of the entire process, including R2-Certified Enterprise IT Asset Disposition, electronics recycling and data destruction.
Why Get Rid of IT Assets?
In this tech-oriented era, your company might need to get rid of old IT equipment at any moment. Many businesses are now moving to cloud-based storage and internet-based project management, meaning they need less physical equipment to be productive. Several companies are also transitioning to be completely digitalized, so the need for special printers and data hardware – among other equipment – is becoming obsolete. Likewise, many businesses are staying on trend by integrating all computer-based technology into mobile platforms for cell phone or tablet use. Regardless of what reasons your business has for an ITAD, it’s important to remove equipment in a way that keeps data secure and recycles materials responsibly.
How Do I Prepare for an ITAD?
When preparing for an IT Asset Disposition, it’s important to quantify what sort of equipment needs removal. Not only will you need to record each item individually but include the manufacturer, make/model, serial number and condition of the equipment as well. TechWaste Recycling makes it easy by providing an easy-to-follow itemized template, which will help speed along the removal process.
Worried about what gear has value in repurposing? Just give TechWaste Recycling a call and you can receive a free equipment evaluation. As a general rule, IT waste includes computers, flat screen LCDs, CRT monitors, power supplies, routers, AV production equipment, commercial printers and much more.
What Happens to the Disposed IT Equipment?
All IT assets are weighed, sorted and recorded to confirm the number of items received in the removal order. TechWaste Recycling then sends processed items to an R2-certified partner who breaks down the equipment and uses the parts to create new products. All ITAD data handling projects are extremely secure; hard disk content is wiped and every portable device is degaussed, thanks to a certifiable data destruction process and Level 2 Data Destruction. You’ll receive a Certificate of Recycling detailing what has been recycled and TechWaste Recycling will hold the records for at least 3 years.
