What do you do when your boss comes in and says she wants you to find a computer recycling center and get rid of all the used PCs in the storeroom?Your first inclination might be to bypass the computer recycling center and hit the online marketplaces yourself. Sure, you can list dozens of pieces of computer equipment for sale, but are you really prepared to deal with the calls, the negotiations, and the delivery concerns?The best way to approach the disposing of old computers is to call a professional recycling center. Here’s how Minneapolis-based OceanTech handles that call:
- When you call OceanTech about computer recycling, you will be asked to provide information on the number and type of computers you have to recycle.
- Your OceanTech account rep will calculate the value of your used equipment and present you with an offer.
- If data destruction services are required for your computer recycling, the fees for those services will be deducted from the purchase price of the equipment.
- Once a deal is struck, OceanTech will arrive at your site with the logistics team to remove all equipment and transport it to their secure facility.
- Once at OceanTech, hard drives are erased in a secure environment, and documentation is prepared for the client.
- Along with documentation on all data destruction, clients receive payment for their used equipment.
- Equipment is repaired and refurbished, then posted in OceanTech’s online marketplace for resale.
- Your boss compliments you on a job well done. Your storage room is cleaned up, and you can rest assured that your company data has been destroyed and your PCs are off to their new homes.
