We shield your company from liability.

From privacy issues to the EPA, when a computer leaves your company it can become a serious risk for your business. Here's how Your Very Own Geek insulates you and your company from these risks.

We take title to your equipment. That is, your equipment becomes our equipment and it's no longer your responsibility.

• Hard drives are sanitized or destroyed.
• Asset tags are removed that may identify the original equipment's owner.
• Worthless computer equipment is disposed of in accordance with all Federal and State environmental laws.
• You'll receive a "Certificate of Disposal" providing evidence of services performed.
• Services are HIPAA compliant.

We can save your company a bundle! Did you know that implementing an in-house computer disposal program can cost more than $400 per computer? PC Disposal can properly dispose of your computer hardware for a fraction of what it would cost to do it yourself.

Plus, in response to the latest pricing games played by other computer recycling companies, PC Disposal is now the first to offer Flat Rate Pricing. You'll feel confident knowing up front what your total cost for each project will be.

The real cost of in-house PC retirement - According to a recent report by Gartner Research, in-house disposal "presents unique challenges and potential costs that enterprises seldom consider." By some estimates, when a company tries to manage its own in-house retirement, the costs can exceed $400 per computer! Why so much? Consider these hidden costs:

Basic in-house disposal management costs

• Administrative tasks (inventory, forms, accounting, etc.)
• Backing up and sanitizing hard drives
• Storage costs until computers are removed
• Packing and shipping
• Disposal fee
• Opportunity costs (i.e., Could this time be used more profitably?)

Optional in-house employee sale and/or charitable donation costs

• Hosting sale (pricing, setting up sales area, asking questions, etc.)
• Finding charitable organizations that will accept your PCs
• Reloading operating systems
• Testing PCs
• Processing payments
• Technical support
• Preparing transfer documents

That's not all. If you're planning on offsetting those costs by reselling your equipment, you'd better do it soon. It's estimated that stored IT equipment loses 6% to 10% of its value each month.
