As a desktop computer reaches the end of its lifecycle most I.T. departments will have several considerations to think about. The who, how, where and why questions around the topic of desktop computer disposal can be quite nefarious, especially given the laws governing ewaste and data protection. If you are an IT director who is currently in the process of decommissioning professionally used desktop computers, YBC as produced the following support topics for your consideration:
Nearly every organization you can imagine, such as: schools, universities, corporations, governmental departments and local authorities all use desktop computers in their day-to-day business. With a constant level of use even the most robust company computers start to slow down and fail in just 3 or 4 years. Most I.T. directors and CIO’s plan to replace business computers after their third or fourth year of use. When you consider the massive quantities of business computers being retired around the USA, it becomes easy to see how the disposal of computers contributes to a mounting ewaste problem. All of those old, failing and unwanted business computers will need to be collected, tested, sorted, refurbished, redeployed, remarketed, resold or recycled. Disposing of millions of computers responsibly is a process known as: ‘I.T. Asset Disposition (ITAD) & Reverse Logistics’. YBC is one of the leading ITAD businesses in the USA. YBC helps thousands of companies and organizations to dispose of their old computers responsibly. If your organization is about to decommission its desktop computers please call v 908 431 0090 or Email Us for help.

Business computers & PCs alike are classified as toxic electronic waste due to the materials & chemicals used in their components. In the USA it’s illegal to dispose of your business’s obsolete or broken office computers in any other way than to have them recycled. Recycling is one of the best methods to ensure your organizations computers remain out of landfill sites where they can cause disastrous problems. The main issues that arise from computer disposal are based in concerns over sustainability, environmental pollution and the theft of digital data. As a result of these issues more companies each year simply choose to recycle rather than resell their decommissioned desktop computers. When you choose YBC to recycle your old work computers you get an ‘R2’ certified recycling service that ensures each computer is recycled correctly and not just dumped in the 3rd world. In summary, if you choose YBC to recycle your old, used, damaged and broken desktop computers you can rest easy in the knowledge that you are getting one of the best computer recycling services in the USA.

Computer testing and refurbishment occurs at the highly secure, State certified and R2 accredited YBC facilities. After the computers have been collected by YBC from the clients’ location, each device is cross referenced using an inventory statement before testing begins. This brief audit simply ensures all the computers are present and stored correctly. YBC starts by testing each individual computer to grade its operational status. Computer testing helps YBC to determine if a higher resell value can be obtained for the client as a result of refurbishment. If the client is looking to redeploy their desktops, testing & refurbishment can ensure the computers achieve higher operational levels. Furthermore, if YBC is managing the return of leased computers the testing and refurbishment process can remove or substantially reduce penalties resulting from damage. All computers found to be too badly damaged or utterly outmoded are reported and authorisation to recycle the PC is requested. For more information about the YBC ITAD computer testing and refurbishment service please call v 908 431 0090 or Email Us.

The importance of having the hard drives from business computers either wiped or destroyed (usually via shredding) is paramount. Failure to permanently erase personal or sensitive data from a hard drive can result in massive fines and in rare cases has even led to incarceration. Despite these very serious repercussions, a recent survey has found that close to 70% of resold hard drives still contained personal and corporate information. Deleting files, folders and digital data is simply not enough. YBC doesn’t mess about when it comes to protecting a client from data breaches. The YBC data destruction service is 100% certified and guaranteed to permanently remove sensitive data from a computer hard drive. In addition, any computer that does not power-on when being tested by YBC will have its data storage device (SSD or HDD) removed and utterly destroyed. Whether wiped or shredded the YBC hard drive data destruction program operates to DoD, HIPPA, Sarbanes-Oxley, NATO and the NAID AAA+ standards. For more information call v 908 431 0090 or Email Us.

It is not uncommon for YBC to manage the return of leased computers for their clients. More and more businesses today are choosing to lease their computers rather than own them outright. Obviously, clients can be liable to the lessor for any damage to the hired computers. If requested by the client, YBC is able to assess and refurbish each computer to help remove or reduce any penalties. Even more importantly, YBC can also ensure no company data is retrievable from the computer’s hard drives before they are returned. Also, as part of the return management service YBC can produce an ‘independent inventory evaluation report’ documenting the condition of the leased computers. This evaluation report can be most useful in preventing any disputes between the client and the leasing agent (lessor) regarding the condition of the returned computers.

Redeploying computers to different locations or to different divisions within an organization usually involves a considerable effort. Firstly, each individual computer needs its operational functionality checked. There may be a requirement for a number of computers to be refurbished before they are redeployed. Secondly, it is always good practice to insure a reliable hard drive data wipe is preformed to remove any personal or sensitive data. Data wipes result in the need for an OS reinstalment along with the instalment of the applications needed for work. Following this, the transportation of the computers to wherever they are needed in the world has to be planned and managed. All-in-all, computer redeployment can lead to an extensive drain on a business’s IT departments resources and manpower. YBC removes the pain of computer redeployment and keeps your IT department free to focus on the bigger issues by managing and facilitating the entire process from start to finish.

There is no nobler course than to donate to charities. Donating retired business computers can yield some true benefits to the beneficiaries. However, there are several considerations that need to be managed before a donation is made. The first deliberation in computer gifting is ensuring your business desktop computers actually work. It is not really a charitable act to gift computers if the charity will just end up paying to have them recycled. Secondly, and probably most importantly, it’s imperative any computer hard drives containing sensitive or personal data should either be wiped or replaced. Lastly, you may be called upon to prove your computers were in fact donated. In this case YBC issues a certificate to prove the transfer of ownership. This certificate indemnifies your company from any potential prosecution should the computers fail to be recycled correctly in the future.
