The growing d\u0435m\u0430nd f\u043er gadgets and wireless wonders of all kinds including product categories that didn\u2019t even exist two years ago (AI enabled home speakers, for example) has made our lives easier (or at least more futuristic) \u2013 but have created a disposal problem at the same time. Scrap electronics, more commonly referred to as e-waste, are the fastest growing type of waste in Western landfills \u2013 a shame considering electronics are 100% recyclable.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the relentless drive towards drive towards increased productivity means IT products are often refreshed long before the end of their life to make way for the latest and greatest. This cycle creates both an opportunity to capture value and a potential for data leakage which must be properly managed.<\/p>\n

Choosing your ITAD and e-waste recycling partner should be done carefully because not all electronics recyclers are motivated by doing the right thing. We are not all created equal. This article aims to arm you with information to choose wisely.<\/p>\n

Service. Security. Certifications.<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to consider when disposing of your old electronics.<\/p>\n

Secure your data.<\/h3>\n

You wouldn\u2019t dispose of documents containing personal data without shredding them first. The same goes for the hard drive on your desktop or the flash card in your cell phone. The proper disposal of data is more important to you (the user) than even the environmental benefits. Your personal details in the wrong hands can cause a lifetime of grief.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Guy\u2019 who comes on Tuesdays with a pickup truck full of scrap metal, probably isn\u2019t who your IT Director had in mind when she said \u201cfind me a reputable electronics recycler.\u201d<\/p>\n

You get what you pay for.<\/h3>\n

The e-waste recycler you\u2019ve chosen offers free pickup, complimentary data destruction and will even pay you for your scrap. They also have a bridge to sell you in Alaska.<\/p>\n

Anyone can hang up a sign and say they recycle electronics \u2013 but not all electronics recyclers are created equal. While it is common for electronics recyclers to offer rebates for certain types of e-waste, if the deal you\u2019re being offered sounds to good to be true, it propably is.<\/p>\n

E-waste is hazardous. And should be treated as such.<\/h3>\n

Most electronics contain hazardous compounds like lead or mercury which can leach into ground water if not disposed of properly. At a minimum, all electronics can be recycled and shouldn\u2019t be landfilled.<\/p>\n

The electronics recycler you choose should be able to describe their chain of custody and have solid answers about how they manage their downstream processing network. Do they do the processing in-house? A legitimate electronics recycler should be approved to one of the globally recognized quality standards such as R2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the e-waste recycling industry matures \u2013 anyone not certified to a robust standard shouldn\u2019t be assumed to be doing the right thing for the environment or data security.<\/p>\n

With the above in mind, ask the following questions BEFORE hiring your e-waste recycling partner.<\/h3>\n

Know Y\u043eur N\u0435\u0435d\u0455.<\/h3>\n

Even before you\u2019ve made a single call, give this some thought.<\/p>\n

  • What are your corporate data handling policies? Some companies require onsite hard drive shredding before anything leaves the building. Others don\u2019t have any policy to speak of. Understanding what you NEED vs. want when it comes to data handling ensures you get the most competitive possible quote from your electronics recycling partner.<\/li>\n
  • Can your products be reused? Some companies have strict policies requiring full destruction of old gear. Others just need the data destroyed and don\u2019t care beyond that. Figure out what camp you sit in. Resale can create significant value for your organization but must be managed by a responsible partner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Easy Peasy.<\/h3>\n

      The e-waste and ITAD partner you choose to work with should be easy to work with. They should value your business and be responsive to your needs. They should value your business and work to earn it with every interaction.<\/p>\n

      Ask for a tour.<\/h3>\n

      Nothing proves your chosen vendor does what they claim quite like a tour of their processing facility. If they won\u2019t give you a tour, alarm bells should be ringing. What are they hiding? Even if you don\u2019t want a tour, ask the question anyway \u2013 the answer will often tell you everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

      In conclusion: Do your homework.<\/h2>\n

      Your e-waste recycler can be valuable partner in helping your organization meet environmental performance targets, Securing corporate data, freeing up real estate at the office and unlocking value from written down IT assets. This is only true, however, if they are doing what they say they going to do.<\/p>\n

      Ask uncomfortable questions of your e-waste recycler before you do any business together and avoid having the answer uncomfortable questions from your boss down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
