Computer Recycling for Schools

Do you need rid of old School Computer Equipment?​

Post-holiday sales jump in and suddenly we have a whole load of new stuff. A new computer, TV, phone is excellent but now we also have an old computer, TV or phone taking up space. Sometimes they are passed down to other family members; other times they are just pushed in closet, store or under the bed. However it’s not junk; it was still being used just a few days ago! It is not ethical to throw it away either as it contains metals that filter into the environment. Remove data before recycling computers.

Recycling old computer can actually do a load of good to mother earth. However, if you have personal data such as credit card numbers or security numbers in your hard drive it is extremely important to make sure it is removed. You must ensure that its hard drive does not become a fortune for the identity thieves out there. Use a program that overwrites or formats the hard drive, alternatively take out the hard drive and physically demolish it. If you choose to recycle computer, make sure it is with a reliable company.

Benefits of Recycling Old Computers

Recycling computer is the last and best option for a worthless computer. Safely recycling computers is also better than making a coffin space in a landfill. The frightening side effects of not recycling computers and dumping them are poisons leaked into your water supply and backyard.

So what does your computer comprise of ? Well it is made up of around 20% plastic, around 30% ferrous metals, 18% non ferrous metals, 12% electronic boards and 15% glass. This complex mixture of materials even contains gold. This is the 21st century new gold rush and all found in your recycle computer! So if a computer is trash to you, it is definitely worth something to someone else.

Choosing the right Computer Disposal Partner​

Many third-party IT disposal firms have emerged in the past few years. However, we are not just any cheap third-party contractors. Computer disposal organisations that offer bargain low rates are more likely to cut corners in the IT disposal process. Hence it is important to put things in perception and not worth risking up to £500,000 fine through cutting corners.

The actual financial cost to consider is – the reputation cost of failing to ensure data protection. It should go without saying that there is a lot to consider when you recruit a computer disposal partner. It is important to comply with the laws and guidance set by the higher authorities, and perhaps the most efficient way to achieve this is to contract with an accredited firm. We are not only accredited but we also have the facilities, logistics, registration and staff required for legal computer disposal. We have fine-tuned our computer recycling processes and systems in very fine detail.
