Every summer school districts, colleges and universities throughout Minnesota take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade computers and electronics throughout their facilities. Selling a large stock of electronics can be a daunting task, but one Minneapolis company has built a business out of buying computers from school districts, colleges and universities and handling all the data destruction and resale activities.Selling computers, LCD TVs, monitors, printers and other electronics is easy when you work with OceanTech.  OceanTech is an electronics recycling company that focuses on recycling for reuse.  The company is set up to value systems, remove them, erase hard drives, repair or refurbish as needed, and then resell the equipment on an online marketplace.  As a result, schools receive a return on their IT investments that can help defray part of the cost of upgrades.For the last decade OceanTech has worked with some of Minnesota’s largest and smallest school districts as well as colleges and universities throughout the state to purchase and responsibly recycle electronics they no longer need and even assist with the acquisition of new equipment.The company customizes its programs for every district or campus, and in some cases even sets up online portals to allow teachers, students or parents to purchase the refurbished computers, laptops or tablets that the school no longer needs.  This provides an opportunity for families to pick up quality equipment for less than half of what a new machine might cost.Buying used electronics from school districts has proven to be a win-win that helps districts stay current on their technology while getting the most from the equipment they no longer need.  The customized programs that OceanTech sets up make the entire process as simple as a single phone call.Schools that want to make their computers available for student purchase feel good about helping families that may not otherwise be able to afford a computer.  It’s the most responsible way to recycle computers, printers, LCD TVs, tablets, laptops and other electronics.For more information on school buy-out programs, call OceanTech at 612 331 4456.
