Electronic waste is a growing problem worldwide, and as one of the biggest users of electronics, businesses in the Silicon Valley are focused on doing their part to eliminate their contribution to the ewaste issue.Networking equipment is upgraded regularly, and because it is expensive, Silicon Valley companies find that Networking Equipment Recycling is an excellent option, allowing the company to recover value from the equipment they no longer need.Recycling networking equipment can yield significant returns, since there is high demand for the equipment among new or small businesses that may not be able to purchase networking equipment brand new.To recycle networking equipment, companies turn to reputable electronics recycling companies like OceanTech, a Minneapolis-based company that works with more than 1500 of the nation’s largest businesses, handling their networking equipment recycling and the recycling of their computers, laptops, hard drives, servers, monitors and other electronics.With OceanTech, concerns over sensitive data that may reside on the machines are erased, because OceanTech securely destroys all data using the industry’s best practices. The company then supplies documentation to the company that provided it before refurbishing or repairing the equipment for resale.Recycling for resale is the most responsible way to recycle electronics. Not only does it eliminate the ewaste problem, but it provides a mechanism for ensuring that the equipment’s lifecycle is extended.Since many Silicon Valley companies upgrade frequently, there typically is a lot of life left in the IT hardware they no longer need.To find out more about the value of your networking equipment you wish to recycle, or to discuss all the different electronics your company has that are no longer needed, contact OceanTech and speak with a customer service representative.You can read more about OceanTech’s services on this website, or call 612 331 4456 to get started on your own networking equipment recycling effort today.
