These are good questions to ask if you are
choosing a recycler
How is the material taken care of? How will the
vendor handle all of the remanufacture and final
disposal of all the components and harmful
materials? Will any equipment be exported?
How long has the vendor been in business? Can
they provide references?
Does the recycler take care of hard drive wiping
and data destruction?
What certifications does the vendor have?
