Computer disposal and computer recycling for computer owners

Asset Recovery Solutions from IBM Global Financing can act as your computer disposal and computer recycling partner, with an array of offerings that can be combined or customized for you.

Whether you're trying to recover value or simply dispose of obsolete assets, you will need a partner that will extract maximum value for resale and provide a Certificate of Destruction for certain serialized IT assets without market value.

Computer disposal and computer recycling takes specialized knowledge of global demand. It creates logistical challenges requiring infrastructure and expertise. An important element, hard drive cleansing, has become a major issue for many businesses concerned with the potential consequences of misappropriated data.

Resale options for marketable assets

Fixed Price Takeout - IBM Global Financing will negotiate a set price for your IT assets. Upon receipt and inspection of the equipment, you will be paid the agreed upon price. IBM Global Financing absorbs the inventory risk during the sale cycle.

Shared Revenue Sale - IBM Global Financing takes the disposal burden off your shoulders by handling your inventory and verifying its specifications. Your product is sorted and tested to verify functionality and specifications, and condition of the product is confirmed for each system. If your product has value in the marketplace, IBM Global Financing has the skill and resources to get your product sold, and upon such a sale, a negotiated percentage of the proceeds will be returned to you. If there is no value, the product is scrapped in an environmentally friendly manner.

Hassle-free, No-cost Option - IBM Global Financing will take the burden of disposing of surplus equipment off of you, at virtually no cost to you, for select customers whose equipment meets specific IT criteria. This option is ideal for customers with an aggressive refresh agenda and who want to avoid the inconvenience of asset disposition.
