The laws governing the disposal of corporate computers apply to all computing devices not just business desktop computers. For example, the same laws applicable to corporate computer disposal also govern disposing of corporate laptops, company android and apple devices (e.g., mobile phones and tablet computers). In fact, the laws regulating how corporate IT hardware is disposed of go as far to include even non-computing devices such as office printers and photocopiers.

In essence there are two main areas of law that regulate how a corporation disposes of its computers and IT hardware. The first area of law is rooted in the regulations responsible for toxic e-waste management. It might be hard to believe but those used corporate computers awaiting disposal are actually classified as ‘TOXIC WASTE’. Obviously, your old corporate computers aren’t toxic to the people using them, so don’t slide them of the desk and kick them out the office just yet. Business computers, in fact all electronics contain materials and chemical elements hazardous to life if ingested or absorbed. So as long as you’re not chewing on your keyboard you should be ok using a computer. However, when it’s time to dispose of your company PCs you can’t dump them with the regular trash. Corporate computers awaiting disposal must be recycled by a certified e-waste recycler. The YBC ITAD corporate computer disposal service is fully certified to collect and dispose of all IT hardware. For help call 908 431 0090 or email info@ybc-itad.com.

The second area of law regulating the disposal of corporate computers is based in data protection and your rights to privacy. This pretty much means the first thing to do before the corporate computer disposal process begins is to have all the computer hard drives wiped. Let’s be honest, you don’t want to sit there all day wiping hard drives. Even just 5 or 6 old office computers awaiting disposal could take forever to wipe properly. This is where you need to contact an ITAD company for help. ITAD companies collect computers, remove their hard drives and use specialized hard drive wiping equipment. Hard drive wiping is an easy enough thing for an IT asset disposition (ITAD) company to do, the YBC ITAD corporate computer disposal service is equipped to dispose of thousands of corporate hard drives a day. YBC will even provide onsite hard drive shredding if needed. For more information call the YBC ITAD corporate computer disposal team at 908 431 0090 or email info@ybc-itad.com.

Companies Most Effected By Corporate Computer Disposal Laws

It’s important to mention that all businesses have to follow the laws and regulations relating to corporate computer disposal. However, there are some businesses that are extremely vulnerable to prosecution. Some rulings have resulted not just in hefty fines but, believe it or not, in the imprisonment of the individuals responsible. For example, companies and firms that deal with accounting, banking, insurance or offer legal practices really need to ensure they dispose of their old corporate computers correctly. This is because legal firms, insurance companies, banks and accounting firms deal with highly sensitive information that if breeched can cause catastrophic problems. Call centers are another type of business that are at high risk if they fail to dispose of their corporate computers and IT hardware equipment correctly. Call centers and customer support centers work with ‘personally identifiable information (PII)’. PII is one of the most legally protected data classifications in the USA. Perhaps not surprisingly, data centers are at high risk of prosecution and really need to ensure their servers and data storage systems are disposed of legally. Data centers provide cloud storage solutions that can be filled with just about every type of data. Many of YBC’s data center clients use onsite hard drive shredding to ensure maximum security when disposing of their corporate servers and data storage systems.

What is the cost for corporate computer disposal?

The costs for disposing of corporate computers can range between TOTALLY FREE and comfortably affordable. It’s rarely an expensive process. The main costs for disposing of business computers arise from; the logistics (i.e. pick-ups, removals and shipping), data destruction services (e.g. onsite hard drive shredding, disk wiping), storage (computers awaiting disposal need to be securely stored before they are recycled) and of course the manpower needed throughout the process of disposal. There are other costs that tend to arise from your preferred disposal method, for example you might decide to ask your ITAD company to donate your business’s computers or resell them for you.
