IT Asset Disposal Made Easy

Getting rid of obsolete computer equipment is not as simple as it once was. The list of laws governing the protection of consumer privacy grows longer and more complex every day, while legal and social pressures abound for the environmentally safe handling of electronic waste. A single misstep can result in significant financial liabilities and a public relations disaster.

Unfortunately, many business organizations today simply do not have the resources to keep pace with the change and manage the risks - especially those with widely distributed and mobile computing environments.

For more than a decade, PC Asset Recovery has been helping companies of all sizes successfully overcome the complexity, accountability and rising costs of IT asset disposal. We bring years of experience to support your entire technology refresh needs and offer a full range of asset recovery and recycling services designed to maximize your IT investments, minimize your risk and avoid unnecessary costs and disruption.

Safeguard Your Data – and Your Reputation

The recent tidal wave of data security laws, and stringent requirements for privacy breach notification, has made it more critical than ever for businesses of all sizes to prevent sensitive data from ending up in the wrong hands. A single data security breach might cost more than $10 million to remediate and, worse yet, could tarnish your brand forever.

At PC Asset Recovery, we believe the best way to protect your sensitive data, including consumer and patient healthcare information, bank and credit card accounts, IP addresses and other network information, is to ensure that all hard drive data is destroyed and verified non-recoverable.

We employ a reliable, cost-effective process to overwrite hard drive data and licensed software to Department of Defense (DoD) 5220-22-M three-pass standards before your IT assets enter the market. Our automated procedures confirm that every disk drive and each sector has been successfully overwritten, while physical verification procedures ensure that inoperable hard drives, or drives with bad sectors that cannot be overwritten, are physically destroyed. With so much at stake, can you afford anything less?

Recycle Responsibly

Companies that fail to properly dispose of computers and electronic scrap can be fined up to $25,000 per day, per machine under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). As a result, many IT brokers and disposal vendors are now exporting used electronics to Third World countries where no environmental or worker safety regulations exist. In fact, activists estimate that as much as 80% of all electronic scrap in the United States is shipped overseas.

For environmentally conscious business organizations, the act of exporting hazardous waste is not only irresponsible but is contrary to their environmental sustainability goals. PC Asset Recovery computer recycling services strictly adhere to all EPA and regulatory guidelines for the environmentally safe disposal of hazardous electronic scrap. Our zero landfill, zero export policy, and ISO 14001 certified environmental management program, ensure that your computer equipment will be legally, safely and ethically handled at end of life and beyond.

Eliminate Storage Costs and Liabilities

If you are like most companies, you have unwanted equipment piling up, occupying valuable office space and losing value by the day. In fact, industry analysts estimate that nearly 150 million obsolete PCs are sitting in warehouses, storerooms and closets right now.

The price of inaction can be substantial. As surplus equipment sits idle (often in unsecured facilities creating security risks), equipment values on the secondary market decrease 6% - 10% per month. Software licensing and hardware maintenance fees and state property taxes might also still apply until which time the assets are properly decommissioned, and costs of storage accrue.

At PC Asset Recovery, we understand that your idle computer equipment will never be worth more than it is now. We provide integrated logistics, buy back and remarketing services, and settlement reporting to help you expedite the value recovery process and quickly convert financial liabilities into cash opportunities.

Avoid the Unexpected

Whether equipment is being resold, recycled or returned on lease, organizations that disposition technology themselves may encounter unexpected costs, headaches and risks. Simply preparing your assets for disposition – removing asset tags, erasing or encrypting hard drives, packaging equipment and coordinating logistics – offers ample opportunities for hidden costs and administrative overhead to balloon. Plus, anything less than an enterprise best practice approach to asset recovery and disposal can create enormous environmental and security liabilities for your organization.

At PC Asset Recovery, we specialize in the safe, efficient and profitable disposition of used computer equipment – so you don’t have to. And, unlike with many IT brokers and disposal vendors, there are no surprise project management charges, no hidden disposal fees, no minimum requirements and no overseas dumping – ever. You can bank on it.
