Peabody, MA – Old, used, obsolete computers and electronics are hazardous waste and should not be sent to a landfill, so Surfplus.Net helps companies get rid of old IT assets and protect the environment at the same time.
Millions of computers are replaced with newer models every year, and the worst place for those old computers to end up is in a local landfill, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Computers and monitors contain hazardous waste such as lead and other toxic heavy metals.
Environmentally conscious companies have placed obsolete IT assets in storage rather than be accused of damaging the environment by sending old computers to the local landfill. Some companies pay to have old computer equipment hauled away, only to find out later that the equipment ends up in the dump anyway.
We specialize on end-of-use technology asset management and recovery services. Our focus is
on helping technology manufacturers and corporations dispose of inactive, obsolete, and surplus electronics equipment. We never send any electronics to the landfill. We find a new home for everything,” explained Don Hardy of http://www.Surfplus.Net.
Surfplus.Net specializes in asset management and have associations with leading computer technology manufactures, private, and leasing companies.
We can sell your overstocked, used, or excess inventory. Surfplus.Net will go that extra mile in helping you turn your excess stock into dollars back in your pocket. We assist our clients with the identification, redeployment and or disposition of surplus assets,” said Hardy.
Although U.S. companies are constantly upgrading computers, older computers that Americans often consider to be obsolete are in demand on other countries. Surfplus.Net has ready customers in those countries.
"There is a significant worldwide market for used computers," said Hardy. "In fact, the demand is greater than the supply."
Surfplus.Net arranges for all the logistics involved in collection and transportation of surplus computers to its warehouse. From there the computers are packaged and loaded into containers to be shipped to computer users in foreign countries.
Surfplus.Net services companies in the Boston and New England area, but Hardy said he welcomes calls from other locations as well.
