Recycling IT Hardware: The Smarter Choice for Your Business

It’s Global Recycling Day, launched in 2018, a day designed to recognise the importance of recycling and to highlight the opportunities that lie in what we discard. As the Global Recycling Foundation reminds us, it’s about rethinking waste—not as rubbish, but as resources ready for new life.

The Trend of Replacing Hardware for New

In the tech industry, we’re seeing a consistent cycle of hardware being replaced with newer models, often before the existing kit has reached the end of its useful life. Frequently, businesses discard perfectly functional equipment, driven by the lure of the latest features or software releases. New releases come fast, and the desire for brand-new products can lead to a lot of e-waste.

How We Approach Recycling in IT

At LA Micro Group, we buy unwanted IT hardware, from small components like CPUs and hard drives to full data centre systems and blade enclosures. Our skilled engineers then refurbish, test, and configure each item to meet or exceed its original performance. All equipment is remarketed and enters the circular economy while offering 20–70% off MSRP.

Each piece of hardware undergoes a rigorous multi-point quality control process to ensure reliability and full functionality, making it feel just like new. We offer convenient trade-in and buy-back options, along with a collection service for effortless recycling and repurposing of older equipment. For larger IT systems, we even provide comprehensive de-installation services.

Why Choose Recycled Hardware?

Choosing recycled or refurbished hardware is a smart, sustainable, and cost-effective decision for businesses today. Not only does it help reduce electronic waste and lessen environmental impact, but it also offers substantial savings compared to purchasing brand-new equipment.
