How should we handle the process to determine where there is value in selling electronic equipment versus paying the recycler or receiving only cents on the dollar from the recycler, depending on the type of equipment?
The answer ultimately depends upon your organization’s goals and objectives. Remarketing of used IT assets that still have value is better for the environment since extending their useful life can be up to 20 times less energy intensive than recycling. In addition, it can lower your Total Cost of Ownership in the form of resale credit that can be used to offset other charges.
