Value recovery

Redundant IT equipment carries value. Dispose-IT enables value to be recovered from used technology.

‘Value Recovery’ is an important component of IT Asset Disposal, but not the only consideration. Due to risk in disposing of IT assets, legislation has been introduced. With Dispose-IT, you are assured that the correct framework is in place for the disposal of as well as recovering the value of your equipment.

What influences value?

Some classes of used goods have higher values than others, and some have very little after-market value. Some factors that influence value include:

  • Age and Warranty Status: Equipment that still carries a warranty can attract a higher value
  • Commonality: Mass distributed products like desktops and notebooks have a higher value than servers
  • Category: For example, used printers attract a lower percentage value than notebooks
  • Removal Process: How complex are the logistics to remove the product
  • Used resale price: Pricing of second hand goods is market driven and ultimately influences what can be offered

How it works?

Speak to us your IT reseller about a value assessment. You may send us a detailed inventory or we can do an on-site audit. In most instances, the value offer will include all our standard services including removal logistics. Enhanced services are quoted for on request.

Once you accept the offer:

  • We schedule for collection/s
  • Manage the logistics
  • Wipe all data securely
  • Issue compliance certifications

What happens to the equipment after collection?

On return to our warehouse and configuration centre, the equipment is audited and sorted into

  • Electronic waste (e-Waste)
  • Re-usable assets
e-Waste is processed and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Re-usable assets are refurbished and resold under our ‘Certified Refurbished’ Programme to recover value.
