Technology is always evolving and changing, which means that your business often needs to acquire new technology to keep up with changes in the industry. The problem becomes what to do with the devices you already have. Electronic devices, gadgets, and equipment have become some of the most significant sources of waste in the world. A large amount of electronic waste comes directly from corporations that are updating their technology. At Lexington Computer Recycling, we have developed an asset recycling program to help combat this issue.

What Can Be Recycled?

At Lexington Computer Recycling, we can recycle just about anything that plugs in or has batteries. This includes everything from bedside alarm clocks to industrial machinery. The most common items we receive are computers and mobile devices. We can also directly recycle most types of batteries to keep them from filling up landfills and polluting the soil.

What Happens to Our Data During Asset Recycling?

A big concern for many companies is the sensitive data stored on computer hard drives. We always recommend backing up and then wiping your hard drives before bringing your equipment to our recycling facilities. At a client's request, we can feed hard drives and solid-state drives through a shredder to guarantee there is no possibility of recovering the information. Those shredded components can then be recycled. We also offer inventory services where we catalog the serial number of each unit and provide an official Certificate of Destruction for each hard drive. A member of your company is always welcome to watch the destruction of your data.

How Does Asset Recycling Happen?

We at Lexington Computer Recycling have partnered with several vendors to give your materials a new life. Each device is broken down into basic components, and these components are then reused to create all new devices. Breathing new life into old items this way not only keeps electronics out of landfills but also helps keep the cost of electronic components down.

Is There A Charge For Asset Recycling?

While we recycle most items for free, we do charge fees for LCD monitors, TVs, CRT monitors, and several types of batteries. This is because those specific items require specialized care and a unique breakdown process to recycle them properly. We understand that some companies offer to recycle these items for free, but we suggest being wary of such places. It is likely that they are not taking the proper and expensive steps needed to properly and safely recycle your electronic items.
