What happens to your old IT Equipment?

With the increasing need to comply with regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and federal legislation Sarbanes Oxley, Gramm Leach Bliley, or HIPPA you need to make the best choice possible on how you recycle your old Printer.

At CompuPoint USA LLC. we pride ourselves on being a trusted source for providing our clients with the most secure Printer recycling programs available today. Our Printer recycling process has been developed with experience gained from working with businesses and government agencies that place a significant emphasis on making sure their Printers are recycled in a socially responsible and secure manner.

CompuPoint USA LLC. utilizes an effective reuse process backed by a written guarantee. Our goal is to extend the useful life of the Printer and its components as much as possible thereby decreasing the demand for brand new equipment and reducing the overall waste stream. We also provide a closed loop recycling option for clients that prefer to have their Printers recycled completely.

Steps involved in planning the Printer recycling process:

• Develop a scope of work
• Understand our client’s security and Printer recycling needs
• Guide you to improve your internal processes as well as the external Printer recycling process
• Develop a logistics plan
• Provide choices as to how they want their old Printer recycled

Steps involved in physical Printer recycling process:

• Triaging the equipment to identify the type of equipment, determine its age, and assess its condition
• Record relevant information from the Printer 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 Printer and depending on the scope of work, Printers that still have useful life may be reconditioned and sold through our Printer reseller channels
• If the Printer 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.
