The real cost of managing the disposal of your old computer equipment yourself.
Do the math! Managing the disposal of your computer equipment can be extremely taxing for your company. There are many challenges that companies don’t consider. When a company tries to manage its own in-house disposal, the costs can exceed several hundred dollars per computer! Why so much?
Here are some costs that you should consider:
Basic in-house disposal costs
• Administrative tasks (inventory, forms, accounting, etc.)
• Formatting and over-writing hard drives
• Storage until computers are removed
• Handling, packing and shipping
• Disposal fees
Optional in-house sale and/or donation costs
• Managing sale (pricing, set up, sales area, asking questions, etc.)
• Finding organizations that will accept your equipment
• Cost of licensing operating systems
• Testing PCs
• Processing payments
• Technical support
• Preparing transfer documents
If you’re planning on offsetting those costs by reselling your equipment, you’d better do it soon. It’s estimated that stored computer equipment loses up to 10% of its value each month.
A through study of your real cost will reveal that your best solution is to contact a professional computer recycling company that has extensive knowledge of the electronics recycling stream, and that is staffed with experienced and certified handlers.
