With shorter product life cycles, increased waste and environmental legislation, the disposal and recycling of IT hardware and peripherals has put growing pressure on organisations to dispose of IT equipment in an environmentally friendly and cost effective way.
This challenge has lead the TI Group to introduce an IT disposal service called ‘TI Disposal’, designed to dispose and recycle your redundant laptops, monitors, desktops, servers, storage units, telephone systems and any other type of networking equipment. This service ensures that all disposals are carried out in a safe, secure and environmentally friendly way, complying will all major UK and European legislations such as the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive. As well as giving you the peace of mind that all your equipment will be disposed correctly, you will also save time and resources by not having to deal with this often difficult and time consuming process.
Benefits of using TI Disposal Services
Managing and carrying out the disposal of End of Life (EOL) IT equipment can prove to be costly in terms of time and money, whilst also being a logistical nightmare for a lot of organisations and IT teams. By leveraging TI Disposal services to your advantage, you can achieve a number of benefits:
- Complete peace of mind that all data is deleted and shredded on-site
- Certificate of destruction issued
- Quantities of any size, large or small, can be disposed
- Quick, efficient and cost effective service
- Any reusable materials are recycled to help reduce land fill sites and pollution
Don't put yourself at risk!
With the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive coming into force along with the Data Protection Act of 2000, your sensitive information and computers must be disposed of in a secure manner. Failure to comply with these Regulations could result in the following:
- Minimum £5,000 fine per prosecution, with unlimited maximum
- Possible ban from company directorship
- Civil actions from the data subject
- Costs claimed against your company
- Possible forced closure of business by the Commissioners Office
TI Disposal Services guaranty that all sensitive or secure items, such as hard disk drives, are disposed of using industry ‘best practices’ and issued with 'proof of disposal' certificates, so you can be confident that all items leaving your premises have been secured and disposed of correctly. The TI Group also partners with charities and organisations in developing countries that can re-use old equipment to help the schools and businesses of those less fortunate.
Sounds great, but how much will it cost?
TI Disposal Services provide your organisation witha convenient and flexible option for the removal and disposal of End of Life (EOL) IT equipment. If you need a significant amount of equipment removed and disposed of then this could be provided for a very low charge, with smaller quantities of IT equipment removed at very competitive prices per unit. Which ever option you are looking for, we guaranty it will be much more cost effective to use our services rather than tackling the project in house with your own resources. Projects are evaluated on an individual basis, so please contact the TI Group to find out more.
