It’s good business to make the most of your assets, whether you need them or someone else does.
If you work in a fast-moving industry where technology with the capacity for increased AI capabilities means you have a high turnover in soft- and hardware; or you are investing in a new round of upgrades, or you are dealing with insolvency and, as part of the dispersal and disposal of no-longer-needed assets, you need to move on hundreds of computers, dozens of servers, and so on…
…that’s precisely the time you should be getting in touch with us at Restore Technology to discuss your options. There are loads of different scenarios for needing to dispose of your IT devices and, the way we see it, they all end in the same outcome: either remarketing or recycling.
How we make a difference to your bottom line
Often when a company gets in touch with us about IT disposal, it’s because they are finally fed up with their obsolete assets sitting in storage, either on-site or worse – because it’s expensive – off-site. Before you go down the route of us securely removing them to one of our facilities for disposal, ask us to assess their residual value.
Through our years of experience, we know that by refurbishing your devices we can reintroduce them to specific and receptive markets, giving computers, laptops and so on a second life, and generating revenue for you that will at least offset the cost of our service.
Instead of breaking these laptops, monitors, servers, networks and so on, down for their recyclable parts, we cleanse them of their data, augment operating systems and upgrade software so that they are fit for market through the best channel for achieving the highest possible resale price.
We suggest that, instead of sitting on old assets whose residual value will drop over time, and before you do anything else, you draw up an end-of-lifecycle plan that includes refurbishment and remarketing as your end goal, rather than landfill. In this area and many others of the IT asset lifecycle, the teams at Restore Technology are market-leading experts, and resale is just one of the ways we help make a difference to your bottom line.
How we make a difference to e-waste
Who doesn’t want to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills, given all the negative impacts that it has on human, animal, and soil health? The most environmentally friendly approach is to refurbish and remarket – and some clients also donate where this is important to their ESG commitments. But if assets really are over the hill, then being broken down for their recyclable elements is the next-best option.

155,000 data storage units
105,000 laptops
95,000 computers
59,000 monitors
43,000 mobile phones
14,000 servers
35,000 networks, and
9,000 printers
In a rough estimate, and purely in the spirit of being good sports, what we have processed equates to the volume of five UK football pitches, which equates to around five hills’ worth of e-waste that has not been buried in the ground; five hills’ worth that has been processed – so that’s either remarketed, refurbished or broken down into recyclable constituent parts such as glass, plastics, precious and less precious metals, and toxins – and gone back into the circular economy.
Remarketing and recycling benefits recap
- Sustainability – whether you opt to break down old technology for recycling by our trusted downstream waste partners or enter the circular economy all guns blazing through our remarketing channels, we guarantee your assets will have at least one further life.
- Security – audited throughout a secure chain of custody, from your workplace to our facility and, depending on the service you choose, either a full destruction or full environmental report on completion of the transaction.
- Compliance – our lifecycle and end-of-life services comply with all security and environmental standards, giving you complete peace of mind.
- Cost-effectiveness – our economies of scale mean we can process large volumes of assets – several football pitches’ worth – to keep costs down, while our expert remarketing team can earn you some valuable rebates on saleable kit.
