Benefits of Companies Recycling Their Old Computers and Laptops

There’s a popular saying within companies and corporations alike: if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Whilst this can sometimes be true, it doesn’t necessary apply to technology.

Technology is a field notorious  (thankfully I suppose) for it’s fast development. Laptops and computers can be said to only hold their ‘Top of the range’ status for a very short period of time before a superior successor comes along. This does not however mean an upgrade is necessary or should be carried out every time a new range of device are released. However, there will come ax time when the costs of facilitating and updating  old systems to keep up with the demands of latest software will exceed the cost of purchasing an entire new system. This not only saves costs but also drives productivity; better tools for your staff!

Costs

Recycling helps to lower costs. Many companies such as kwam-iT will pay cash for recycling old laptops and computers whilst also ensuring data and sensitive information is ridded of your assets. For example an older HP Folio laptop with a core i5 processor will fetch an average of 100 pounds at kwam-iT, Recycling up to 30 of this can fetch your company a staggering 3000 pounds. This can effectively be put towards the cost of procuring the new assets! Costs are also saved from the need of an IT department looking into devices failing due to their age. 

Data Protection

As aforementioned, most recyclers will wipe your assets to military grade standards plus issue you a certificate which proves the level at which each device has been data wiped.

Saving the environment.

Landfill is one of the biggest problems when tackling global warming, by recycling your old computers, companies ensure these devices are 100% recycle thereby reducing waste.
