Reuse when possible
Business-class desktops and laptops may still have value for a second owner after inspection, testing, cleaning, and configuration.
Recycling
Responsible computer recycling for business equipment.
When computers, laptops, and related equipment reach the end of their useful life for your organization, ReUse Computers can help you determine the right next step.
We work with business-class technology and can guide organizations through equipment retirement conversations, including what information to provide, what items may be eligible, and whether recycling, refurbishment, buyback, or another route makes sense.

Before you recycle
Some equipment may still have useful life.
Not every retired computer should immediately become waste. Many business-class systems can be refurbished, repurposed, harvested for useful parts, or evaluated for buyback before recycling is considered.
Recycle when needed
Equipment that is damaged, obsolete, incomplete, or not suitable for resale may need a recycling path instead of being placed back into service.
Evaluate before drop-off
Contact ReUse before bringing equipment in so the team can confirm whether the request is a fit and what information is needed.
Coordinate around quantity
The right process may vary depending on equipment type, quantity, condition, location, and timing.
Equipment we may be able to evaluate.
Contact ReUse if your organization is retiring equipment such as:
- Business desktops
- Business laptops
- Workstations
- Monitors
- Computer parts
- Storage devices
- Power adapters and accessories
- Mixed office computer equipment
Acceptance, eligibility, and next steps may vary by equipment type, condition, quantity, and current operational capacity.
How the recycling conversation works.
- 1
Share what you have
Send the team a short description of the equipment type, brand or model if known, estimated quantity, condition, and whether accessories or storage drives are included.
- 2
ReUse reviews the request
The team determines whether the equipment may be a fit for refurbishment, buyback, parts recovery, or recycling guidance.
- 3
Confirm next steps
Before any drop-off or transfer, ReUse confirms the appropriate process, timing, and any requirements.
- 4
Equipment is evaluated
Once equipment is received through an approved process, items can be sorted based on condition, usefulness, and resale or recycling potential.
- 5
Useful technology gets another chance
Where possible, equipment or parts with remaining value can support future refurbished systems rather than being discarded immediately.
