Where is the best place to recycle old, obsolete or broken company laptops? Why can’t you throw out broken laptops with the office trash?

Although not as popular as desktop computers in the workplace, the laptop is used by millions of professionals on a daily basis. In fact, laptops are in use within just about every entity you can think of, from educational institutions to corporations, from governmental agencies to local municipalities. You’ll find professionally used laptops hard at work in the office, at home, on the road and in the field. With such a high level of constant use even the most robust company laptop will start grinding to a halt in just 2 or 3 years. In fact, it’s common practice for most IT directors to scrap their business / company laptops every 3 years or so. It doesn’t seem like too much of a problem until you consider the quantity of laptops out there. According to Statista, just under 200,000,000 laptops were shipped worldwide just in 2020. That means in 2023, someone, somewhere is going to need to go through the process of: collecting, testing, sorting, refurbishing, remarketing, reselling and recycling in effect millions of professionally used laptops. That someone is YBC and the process is called: ‘IT Asset Disposition & Reverse Logistics’.

Due to growing concerns over sustainability, environmental pollutants and data theft more and more companies are choosing to recycle rather than resell their decommissioned laptop computers. As many IT managers and CIO’s know “all-to-well”, laptops are classified as toxic electronic waste (more commonly referred to as ewaste). When a laptop reaches the end of its lifecycle it is the owners’ legal responsibility to have it recycled by a certified company. Recycling is one of the best methods to ensure your old laptops remain out of the worlds’ worst technology dumping grounds. With YBC you get an ‘R2’ certified computer recycling service that ensures your old corporate laptops are recycled correctly and don’t end up being dumped in the 3rd world. R2 is the leading certification in the electronics disposal / recycling industry. The R2 standards help track and control the disposal of your organization’s laptops. In summary, if you choose YBC to recycle your old, used, damaged and broken laptop computers you can rest easy in the knowledge that you are getting one of the best laptop recycling services in the USA.

Most I.T. directors understand the importance of having a laptop hard drive either wiped or destroyed (usually via shredding). However, less commonly known to many I.T. managers are the facts that hard drive data destruction services that aren’t compliant with HIPAA or the Sarbanes-Oxley procedures can sometimes result in “wiped” data being left in a recoverable state. The legal penalties for failing to permanently delete all the files, folders & data from a laptops hard drive are severe. Despite the very serious repercussions, a survey from Blancco found that close to 70% of all used drives purchased on eBay contained personal and corporate information. Deleting files and even formatting hard drives is simply not enough, with the YBC laptop data destruction service your organization gets over $10,000,000.00 worth of insurance and a 100% certified data destruction service. Furthermore, as part of the YBC standard procedures policy, any laptop that does not power-on when being tested will have its data storage device (SSD or HDD) removed and utterly destroyed. All functioning laptop memory (hard drives) is wiped or shredded to the standards set by the DoD, HIPPA, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, NATO and NAID. For more information call v 908 431 0090 or Email Us.

It is not uncommon for YBC to manage the return of leased laptops for their clients. More and more businesses today are choosing to lease their laptops rather than own them outright. Obviously, clients are liable to the lessor for any damage to the laptops so one of the first duties performed by YBC is to assess and refurbish each laptop to help remove or reduce any penalties. Even more importantly, YBC takes on the responsibility of ensuring no company data is retrievable from the laptop’s hard drives. The last thing a company needs is to be prosecuted for data breeches or failing to protect personal data from being recovered from a previously leased laptop. YBC also produces an ‘independent inventory evaluation’ for the leased laptops as part of its return management service. The evaluation can be extremely useful in preventing any disputes between the client and the leasing agent (lessor).

When a business decides to donate its retired laptops to a charity there are several considerations that need to be managed. The first and probably most important consideration in laptop gifting is ensuring your company is compliant with the data protection laws. By far the easiest method of ensuring your business’s data isn’t accessible is to either have the hard drive wiped or to install a new drive with a fresh OS. Secondly, there’s no charity in gifting laptops that don’t work or are failing. It’s definitely worth having YBC test & refresh the laptops you want to gift. If a laptop can’t be refurbished YBC will simply recycle it for you. Lastly, you may be called upon to prove your laptops 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 in the future should the laptops fail to be recycled correctly. To learn more about the YBC laptop donation program please call v 908 431 0090 or Email Us.
