Desktop Computer and Workstation Recycling
Desktops stay in service long enough to accumulate storage nobody recorded. A tower that shipped with one drive often comes back with two.
How we handle desktops
- 01
Every chassis opened
Storage is counted physically, not taken from your asset list.
- 02
Discrepancies reported
Any drive that does not reconcile against your list is flagged before processing.
- 03
Drives destroyed or sanitized
Removed and shredded to 2 mm, or sanitized to NIST SP 800-88 for reuse.
- 04
Components recovered
Memory, processors and graphics cards tested and kept with the unit or recovered separately.
Materials recovered
- Steel and aluminum chassis
- Power supply copper
- Motherboards and expansion cards
- Aluminum and copper heatsinks
- Engineering plastics
Standards that apply
- R2v3 downstream chain and focus materials
- NIST SP 800-88 sanitization
- R2v3 data sanitization for any unit resold
What it is realistically worth
Standard office desktops are a commodity recovery and we will tell you when a fleet is not worth remarketing. Workstations with current GPUs or high core counts are the exception and worth separating out.
