Recycling Isn't the Greenest Option. Reuse Is.

Recycling beats a landfill. But when a working laptop gets shredded, everything that went into making it is lost: the energy, the raw materials, and its value.

If you want your IT retirement to actually be green, here's the order to follow.

1. Reuse first

A device that stays in use is the most sustainable device there is. A buyback puts working equipment back into circulation instead of into a shredder.

2. Harvest parts next

If a device can't be resold whole, its parts can still be useful. Memory, drives, screens, batteries, and other components get pulled to repair other devices.

3. Recycle as a last resort

Only what truly can't be reused or harvested should be recycled, and it should always be handled responsibly. See what happens to your old IT equipment after it leaves your office.

How we work at RePower

This is how we work at RePower. Our worldwide buyer network finds homes for equipment that others turn away, regardless of its age or condition. We accept all IT equipment and pay for items with resale value. Reuse also tends to mean a bigger buyback check for you.

Your data stays protected the whole way

  • NIST 800-88 certified data erasure
  • Serialized certificate of erasure
  • R2 certificate of destruction provided
  • Pickup anywhere in the US

Before you schedule your next recycling pickup, ask whether that equipment could be reused first. The planet and your budget both come out ahead.
