We are all aware of the environmental problems caused by mining, refining and disposing of the materials used in IT hardware. Although recycling computer ewaste is in its technical infancy, you can still make a colossal difference when you choose to recycle your decommissioned IT assets. Recycling computer equipment reduces the need for mining, refining and disposal. Furthermore, the materials reclaimed from recycling can go back into manufacturing new IT hardware, making the IT industry more sustainable.
Our ITAD company provides responsible, legal and ethical recycling for decommissioned IT equipment.
Recycling decommissioned IT infrastructure such as server racks and network cabling can be a great way to reclaim both copper, aluminium and other such materials. With that said, unless recycling large numbers of decommissioned server racks the cost of removal and recycling will tend to outweigh any reclamation income. However, the ITAD ECO Plus service has been purposefully designed to help keep the costs of server rack removal and recycling to a minimum.
Recycling PricesMost large-scale admin and data centers choose to recycle their decommissioned rack servers. Recycling rack servers whether they be from a data center or office is simply more secure, faster and cleaner. It is possible to reclaim 99% of a server by using good recycling practices and the latest ewaste recycling technology. With such a high level of materials recovery, you really can make a difference in making the IT industry more sustainable.
Recycling PricesRecycling blade servers, rack servers and tower servers all require slightly different procedures. Tower servers are stand-alone chassis computers designed to provide mid-size and enterprise businesses with customizable servers for specific tasks. Due to their heavily customizable configuration they often need to be fully de-manufactured before they can be recycled. Usually, a business looking to recycle tower servers will need to pay for their removal & recycling.
Recycling PricesThe materials reclaimed from recycling a network device are only worth a few dollars, so why recycle? The answer is pretty serious: decommissioned computer network hardware such as routers, network cards, cables, hubs, bridges, network switches and modems are classified as toxic waste due to the hazardous materials and chemicals used within them. The cleanest, safest and legal way to dispose of old computer network equipment is to have it professionally recycled.
Recycling PricesWhen decommissioning rack-mounted network storage enclosures most IT managers are faced with the decision of what to do with the old storage drives. Is it best to shred, wipe or resell used data storage systems? Usually, a NAS storage device is either wiped or shredded before being recycled. Recycling data storage systems usually has a small price tag due to the labour and equipment costs. It is possible to destroy over 1000 hard drives an hour but the average rate is usually 200 to 300.
Recycling PricesThe ITAD ECO Plus desktop computer recycling solution has been created to remove and legally recycle every make and model of professionally used PC. Furthermore, when you use ITAD ECO Plus to recycle your desktop computers you will also be offered a full range of digital data destruction options. It has never been easier to recycle desktop computers, though obviously there are collection & processing costs that arise from disposing of your decommissioned IT hardware.
Recycling PricesReplacing large numbers of old office PCs can leave IT managers with mountains of decommissioned work computers taking up valuable space. The ITAD ECO Plus solution provides a fast, eco-friendly method for rapidly removing old office computers and having them recycled to EPA standards. In fact, our ITAD company’s computer disposal solution is R2v3 & ISO certified, offering HIPPA compliant hard drive data destruction and State approved computer recycling.
Recycling PricesAll-in-One office pcs usually come with touchscreen technology; this can make them slightly harder to recycle. Most All-in-One office computers are de-manufactured by hand so the materials can be more precisely separated. This extra attention to recycling office computers means that more of the PC can be reclaimed. However, this results in a slight increase in storage, labor & processing costs. With that said, having decommissioned office computers removed & recycled is still inexpensive.
Recycling PricesA few decades ago, most IT managers decommission their corporate / company laptop computers a year or so before they became obsolete. This premature laptop disposal strategy was designed to help reduce recycling costs by ensuring the laptops still had a good resell value. However, due to the many modern data protection acts and ewaste recycling laws IT managers tend to edge on the side of caution and simply elect to recycle their used company laptops.
Recycling PricesA computer pads memory is built-in and thusly cannot be removed without destroying the mobile device itself. This means that recycling decommissioned Android Pads & iPads is by-far one of the securest methods of disposal, especially in terms of data protection breaches. When you choose to recycle business Android Pads or company iPads you are ensuring that your organization protects itself legally from PII and sensitive data breach liabilities.
Recycling PricesLarge scale employers like engineering businesses, medical, pharmaceutical, telecoms, banking, financial & insurance companies can have a need to recycle hundreds and sometimes thousands of old smartphones. Whatever the quantity, your business can quickly, cleanly and securely recycle its used business smartphones using the fully certified and environmentally friendly ITAD ECO Plus smartphone recycling service. Email: support@itad-company.com for more information.
Recycling PricesDecommissioning professionally used computers usually comes with a requirement for hard drive wiping or shredding. Before a hard drive can have its memory permanently erased it must first be removed from the chassis of the computer. After all the data, files, folders, etc. have been destroyed what remains of the hard drive needs to be recycled. Recycling is a necessity because if dumped modern hard drives can leach toxic coatings & materials into our water tables.
Recycling PricesThe ITAD ECO Plus service has been designed to help a data center or office to safely decommission and remove for recycling all types of IT hardware and all scales of IT infrastructure. Our ITAD company also offers a priority express deinstallation and removal service. The “priority express” service can disassemble the IT hardware at your location, and have it sorted, itemized and removed in hours. Email: support@itad-company.com for more information.
Recycling PricesRecycling computer hardware is one of the securest methods of disposal, this is due to all the components (e.g. RAM) being destroyed in the process of materials reclamation. For example, RAM is manually removed from a device (e.g.: server, desktop, laptop) sorted into large containers and then shredded into fine flakes. These flakes are then chemically dissolved and via a process of either electroplating or materials separation, the metals within the RAM are reclaimed (recycled).
Recycling PricesComputer CPU’s (central processing units) have the largest quantities of precious metals within their construction (followed by RAM & circuit boards (e.g.: motherboards)). That said, in order to make CPU recycling profitable thousands of decommissioned computers are needed. On average the recycling value of a CPU is just above $10. Recovering precious metals from CPUs is extremely important in keeping the IT industry sustainable.
Recycling PricesUsually, the graphics cards found in decommissioned office desktops are manually removed and recycled with circuit boards. However, extremely powerful GPU Optimised Servers are treated very differently. If you are in charge of recycling GPU servers, please email our ITAD support team: Support@ITAD-Company.com or call our head office: 877-592-6009 (EST) for immediate assistance.

It is the quantity of office computers and the amount of IT hardware that partly defines the type of IT recycler to use. However, if an office’s computers have been working with sensitive data or PII then you will not want to take any risks when recycling. Failure to comply with data protection regulations can be an imprisonable offence. Therefore, using a fully certified ITAD business that specializes in ensuring your office PCs and IT hardware are recycled legally is always the best option.

Hard drive shredding can be slightly more expensive than wiping, especially onsite shredding. The reason for this is primarily based in the cost of equipment. The cost of good hard drive shredders ranges massively from $15k to $125K and they all require constant maintenance as the shredding gears wear down. A NAID certified hard drive shred might cost as little as $8 per hard drive compared to $3 to $5 for a hard drive wipe.
Our ITAD company provides a nationwide, fully certified IT asset disposition service that includes both hard drive shredding or wiping. Our prices are extremely competitive: CLICK HERE for a quick online estimation.
There are a lot of computer recyclers that offer to pay for used business laptops and desktops. They need to make a profit too, and will resell them. However, you can still be legally responsible should data be recoverable or if the equipment is found to have been illegally dumped. That’s why most large-scale IT users like call centers, admin centers and data centers actually pay to ensure their retired computer systems are recycled correctly. The biggest concern is not reselling second hand computers but finding ITAD company capable of processing and disposing of large quantities of computers. Most IT managers need assurance that IT hardware is disposed of legally, cleanly and ethically. Furthermore, IT directors pay ITAD companies to ensure IT hardware is correctly recycled.

A large number of U.S. states (and the District of Columbia) have strict electronics recycling laws for the disposal of desktop computers, laptops, servers and mobile devices. At a Federal level, IT hardware is classified as hazardous waste and the EPA holds very tight regulations for computer waste shipments for treatment, storage, and disposal. There are also very strict data protection laws regarding computer disposal. There is no question that responsibly recycling used office desktop computers, company laptops, data storage systems and servers is the safest disposal option.
