Getting rid of your unwanted IT Assets is a real challenge because they contain toxic substances that must be disposed of carefully.
At GreenTek Solutions, we always encourage our customers to extend their unwanted electronics lifecycle because this is the best alternative to minimize the environmental impact. There are a couple of things to consider before choosing between repurposing or removing your unwanted electronics.
Should I choose to repurpose or to destroy?
- Repurpose. - We all love our smartphones and computers, but electronics eventually reach the end of their lifecycle and become electronic waste. E-waste has been a rising problem during the last decade but extending our undesired equipment life is an excellent alternative to minimize the negative impact. Unfortunately, tech can be too expensive, and many people can't even afford a mobile phone. In this situation, you can help those users by donating your electronics to a charity or non-profit organization.
- Destruction. - Non-functional or obsolete equipment may require destruction services, but it doesn't matter if you choose between smashing, crushing, or shredding, you must handle your old electronics carefully because of their toxic components. Stop trashing your electronics and start supporting green practices!!! Sometimes repairing our obsolete equipment is not suitable, but professional recycling services will minimize the environmental impact caused by e-waste. Please don't forget to remove your records because even a minimal data breach could represent an exponential risk to your privacy.
Your unwanted electronics may have no use for you, but that doesn't mean they are e-waste. For more information, please look for our server liquidation services!!
