FAQ’s About Recycling Computer & IT Hardware for Different Market Sectors

How should schools, colleges and universities dispose of their IT and computer hardware?

If you are responsible for the computers and IT assets used by a school, college or university there will come a point in time when you need to dispose of your old computer hardware. When that time comes you will probably search for computer disposal companies near to you for help. Most IT professionals tend to use information technology asset disposition, recycling and digital data erasure companies, often referred to as ITAD businesses. An ITAD business isn’t just a computer recycling company, an ITAD service includes everything you need for legal and ethical computer disposal. Furthermore, ITAD computer disposal businesses aim to help recycle educational IT hardware resources for free. If your school, college or university needs to dispose of decommissioned computers and IT hardware the YBC ITAD and computer recycling team would strongly recommend you call the YBC head office for help and to arrange a pickup for disposal.

Who to use for recycling Aerospace & Defense IT hardware and computers?

There are many computer disposal companies out there that offer to pick-up and dispose of used business computers. However, there are some companies and sectors that need a little extra help when it comes time to dispose of their old computers and IT assets. Computer and IT equipment used in aerospace and within the defense industries for example, require more than just picking up and recycling. Defense IT e-waste has to be disposed of by an ITAD company that ensures all hard drive data is properly wiped and non-recoverable. In addition, any aerospace companies based in the USA have to ensure their decommissioned computers are recycled to the regulations set by the EPA. The YBC ITAD computer disposal team offer a fully certified data destruction and computer equipment recycling service that has been purposefully design to help dispose of computers and IT hardware for Aerospace & Defense companies.
