ASSET RECOVERY AND RECYCLING SERVICES
Dell's Asset Recovery and Recycling program ensures larger organisations can resell outdated computer equipment or ensure it is disposed of securely and responsibly.
Why Recycle or Recover?
Disposing of, reselling or donating computer equipment can pose problems for business. Obsolete equipment can clutter office space and storage while disposal can consume valuable management time. Improper disposal can also result in fines and damage to reputation among environmentally conscious partners, customers and shareholders. Unwanted equipment can also threaten the security of an organisation if not properly cleansed of sensitive data.
Studies indicate many businesses do not properly erase data from equipment before disposal. Research conducted by BT and several universities worldwide, including Edith Cowan University in Australia, revealed more than 37 percent of hard disks purchased second hand still included confidential corporate and business information*.
To overcome these challenges, more companies are choosing Dell to professionally manage their recycling and asset recovery programs.
Our recycling programs allow you to securely dispose of desktops, laptops, servers, storage, networking equipment, monitors, printers and computer peripherals such as keyboards and mice.
Benefits
Security: We help you protect sensitive data by removing tags and labels from equipment, overwriting readable hard drives and shredding inoperable disks*.
Environmental compliance: Our program ensures your old systems are disposed of in an environmentally responsible and compliant way.
Reporting: Dell Services can provide a Certificate of Disposal to confirm that your data was removed or destroyed and that all recycling met or exceeded all local regulatory guidelines. In addition, for all equipment disposals we provide a settlement report which lists the resale value of each piece of resold hardware and documents any other disposed equipment.
Value: Managing assets effectively reduces the cost of storing end-of-life systems and also allows you to recover some value from hardware typically less than three years old.
IT Productivity: By using the services of our partners, you do not need to apply sophisticated IT resources to low-value activities like disposal.
ASSET RECOVERY
Dell's Asset Recovery program enables you to obtain value from your unwanted business computing equipment. Businesses disposing of operational hardware may recover some value by onselling the equipment through Dell. We can either return that value in terms of a payment or credit it to an existing Dell account.
