What to do with out-dated equipment? Sadly landfill is too often the answer.

Asset recovery services are being established by vendors to provide the solution to end-of-lease and upgraded equipment that is no longer useful or required.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Below are listed companies with an active 'buyback' or 'recycle' program.

• IBM Asset Recovery Solutions - offering buyback, disposal and data security.
• Dell Recycling for home
• Dell Recycling for business
• HP Asset Recovery Services - HP Asset Recovery Services include programs to help customers transition away from their existing infrastructure, acquire new HP technology, manage that technology then retire it at the end of its useful life.
