Are you shopping for electronics recyclers? Here are the questions to ask:

• Is the company certified in environmental compliance such as R2?

• Does the company practice secure transport of equipment containing sensitive materials and promise white glove service?

• What type of service area range do they offer?

• What is security like at the recycling facility?

• Most importantly, what type of data destruction does the company utilize?

Prospective clients can research these questions on the company’s website. Some companies offer free quotes while others estimate the the return on value. In addition, calling a recycling vendor allows clients to speak with staff and get a feel for the company.But the information a company provides about themselves is not the whole picture. Standard methods and basic certifications are no guarantee of service.

Quality service separates competitors

Because recycling electronics is a critical part of owning them, it’s important to make sure your vendor provides the highest quality service. Simply dropping off materials at a back door doesn’t guarantee proper handling and ethical environmental practices.Similarly, blindly picking the option with the lowest rates is a huge risk. Sloppy data handling is a nightmare for any IT-reliant organization and inefficient refurbishing leads to lost value on recovered assets. Ultimately, it’s added time, money, and stress.Customers can explore customer feedback online and see the company’s reputation among previous clients.

Gleaning a company’s reputation through online reviews

Customer testimonials are essential once the options are narrowed down. Such testimonials provide an in-depth feel for whether the promised service is upheld.Therefore a recycler that has a standout number of negative reviews is cause for concern. It means the recycler does not meet the minimum standards that clients should seek or provide the superior service they deserve.

Reputation aids in recovering value

Many recyclers resell equipment once it has been refurbished. Consumers want to know the equipment is going to be in the condition it was listed as and that it will arrive safely and securely with good communication from the vendor. Feedback and reviews help consumers determine the quality of an electronics reseller.Most importantly for clients, confident consumers become loyal customers in the resale market. As a result, reputable recyclers improve the return on recoverable assets.
