FAQ’S ABOUT WHERE AND HOW TO DISPOSE OF OR RECYCLE OR SELL DECOMMISSIONED SERVERS & IT HARDWARE?

Over the decades our ITAD company has received literally thousands of emails and phone calls from potential clients asking questions about our services. On occasion, a question will be extremely unique, such as: “does magnetic degaussing work on SSD”, the answer to this BTW is not very often. We thought it might be fun and hopefully helpful to list the most common questions asked. So, the team and I put our heads together, debated, read through a zillion emails and spent ours by the coffee machine talking about the most common questions we get asked.

After ‘much to do’ and hours of exhaustive coffee drinking, we compiled the definitive list of frequently asked ITAD questions. In total we narrowed it down to a slim, minuscule number of a mere 32 questions. THAT’S RIGHT, 32! Most of the questions are very similar, like: “do you recycle or buy used servers”, answer: “yes we do”, next question: “but to you recycle or buy used HPE servers”, answer: “yes, all servers”, question: “even Cisco UCS Servers”, reply: “yes all servers”. I could go on but to spare you from that I give you 32 of the most glorious, mind blowing, time saving ITAD FAQs ever asked, I should also add, if you have any questions that aren’t on this list please email them to support@itad-company.com, hope these help:
