Outsourcing does not ensure compliance. There is a “Catch 22” with respect to data security and environmental compliance.
Without Retire-IT, you must rely on a recycler to provide reports that document what was disposed. Naturally, recyclers want to avoid providing "rope for you to hang them." Unfortunately, unscrupulous recyclers shield themselves from liability by not providing accurate or complete information.
In this industry, prevention is worth several tons of cure. Unfortunately, there are inherent conflicts when you rely directly on a recycler. Unmanaged IT disposal increases the risk to your organization. Without an unbroken chain-of-custody, you are not truly compliant. Furthermore, you are 100% exposed to the downstream risks.
There is a growing concern around data security compliance because of a number of laws that took effect over the past few years, including the HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and the FACT Act. Now, states are also raising the stakes. California adopted a new law, SB 1386, which requires any company to publicly divulge any breach of security within 48 hours.
Retire-IT managed IT disposal provides true compliance, cost savings, and effective risk management.
Organizations cannot audit themselves. Without an audited, unbroken chain-of-custody, you are not in compliance.

Transportation is typically the biggest cost associated with IT disposal. Shipping equipment across the country is expensive, time consuming, and increases the risk of loss or damage.
Retire-IT solves this problem with our distributed approach to asset processing and our ability to negotiate large volume discounts with carriers and IT disposal vendors.
As a result of the relationships we've built in the industry and our approach, Retire-IT is able to dramatically reduce the cost of IT disposal and pass those savings along to you.

Disposal partners promise great returns, but how do you know if you receive highest resell value possible? How do you know if a vendor is effective at remarketing, or that you actually receive your fair share?
The sad fact is that not all used IT equipment has resale value. The challenge is to realize the best possible return on the equipment that can be resold to offset disposal costs.
Retire-IT is in a unique position to help you recover maximum value. Retire-IT independently monitors fair market values, providing a system of checks and balances to ensure that our clients obtain the highest possible return on all their used equipment.

We know that sometimes you need your old equipment picked up NOW! Retire-IT can arrange next-day pickup of your obsolete equipment. We will come to your location to pack your equipment following stringent shipping and security standards and remove it promptly.
And here’s the best part: because your equipment is processed at a certified Retire-IT facility in your area, you don’t have to wait for days as your assets bounce across the country on a truck, subject to damage and delay.

Most recyclers don't provide reliable reporting or even bother being responsive to your questions unless you are a big customer that disposes of thousands of pounds of equipment each month.
It can be extremely frustrating when you can't get the answers you need from your recycler. And the fact is, no matter how large or small your organization may be, you must have reliable reporting to be truly compliant.
Retire-IT provides value for small to medium-sized companies because we painstakingly manage recyclers, audit their disposition reports, and provide proactive customer service for ALL of our clients. Retire-IT can help your organization take the hassle, and the risk, out of working directly with unresponsive recyclers.
