If you own a company and are looking into how businesses dispose of electronic waste, try to recycle. There are many companies that provide the service of recycling unwanted electronic equipment.
Does the recycler take care of hard drive wiping and data
destruction?
What certifications
does the vendor have?
How is the material taken care of? How will the
vendor handle all of the remanufacture and final
disposal of all the components and harmful
materials? Will any equipment be exported?
These are good questions to ask if you are choosing a recycler:
How long has the vendor
been in business? Can they provide references?
