Do Manufacturers or Retailers take back Computers for Recycling?

In theory Yes, lots of them! Many manufacturer-sponsored programs will accept and process their brands for free. Some even accept other brands for trade-in or a small fee.

Manufacturer-Specific Programs:

  • Apple
  • Dell
  • Hewlett-Packard
  • Acer
  • Toshiba
  • Gateway
  • Lenovo
  • Sony
  • Panasonic
  • Epson
  • IBM

However, this is not always as simple as one would think and does depend on the model and age of the equipment, and could mean contacting 5 or 6 different manufacturers if you have a range of old IT Equipment in the office.

Also, they may not be able to provide the sort of information you need to have a complete Audit Trail of how your old IT and it’s associated data was disposed of.

You also may not have the time, our advice is to contact the experts at Secure Data Recycling and let them take away the hassle.
