Steps involved in physical Office Equipment recycling process:

• Triaging the equipment to identify the type of equipment, determine its age, and assess its condition
• Record relevant information from the Office Equipment in accordance with the statement of work
• Enter that information in our proprietary database for our client’s disposition report.
• Clients may chose from several options for data destruction based on their security requirements
• Asset tags are removed from the Office Equipment and depending on the scope of work, Office Equipments that still have useful life may be reconditioned and sold through our Office Equipment reseller channels
• If the Office Equipment has no or limited value as a whole unit, it is then sent through a de-manufacturing process where useful components may be harvested, and other base components like metals, plastics, and circuit boards are separated for further processing.
• Further processing consists of accumulating the various types of materials, i.e. plastic, metals, and circuit boards and sending them to a smelting facility where they are shredded into bit sized pieces then melted down. Metals and plastics are recycled for future use and circuit boards have precious metals extracted to save the environment from costly and environmentally harmful mining operations.
• When the job is complete, the appropriate reports and certificates of recycling and destruction are sent to the client for their permanent records.
