Each year, the amount of e-waste reaches 444.7 million tons, and mountains of non-functional electronics continue growing higher all around non-developed countries, representing an exponential risk to the environment, animals, plants, and humans.

While having a collection of unwanted IT assets lying around, we may be sitting on a gold mine without realizing it, but sometimes it is hard to choose what to do with unwanted equipment.

What should I do with unwanted equipment?

Recycling or extending our old electronics life are both excellent alternatives to conserve resources, reduce pollution, save our planet, and will also let you make some money from it. Keep reducing, reusing, and recycling, but keep in mind that the most efficient way to reduce the impact of e-waste is to reduce the overconsumption of electronics.

Why is recycling good for the environment?

Even if you have upgraded to new devices, you can't just throw away your old electronics because they are composed of metals, plastic, and toxic substances.

Manufacturing electronics involves an impressive number of natural resources, time, and money; the more unfortunate part is that all our electronics will eventually stop working and join the e-waste mountain, but recycling will decrease the environmental impact.

Where to recycle?

Things turn more complex when we want to resell outdated or non-functional devices because they may not have any reselling value. On the other hand, our electronics contain worthy components that can help to manufacture new electronics. Some retail locations like BestBuy, Staples, Goodwill and GreenTek Solutions accept electronics for recycling. Our safe and certified e-waste recycling service will protect your company from penalties caused by improper e-waste disposal, so do not let your old devices end up in landfills.
