Retire-IT delivers what recyclers can’t.

Retire-IT provides independent, objective management of the entire process of IT asset disposition.

Retire-IT’s proven process makes ITAD simple, safe, and affordable. Plus, Retire-IT requires no long-term contract or volume commitment; we know we have to earn your business every time.

Independent, Objective, Accountable

You can outsource recycling, but you cannot outsource responsibility. Organizations must minimize conflicts-of-interest and demand accountability to combat computer theft.

Having a formal disposal policy is good start. Accountability is essential. To hold employees and vendors accountable, an organization must have objective, verifiable data.

Retire-IT is an independent management firm that objectively manages ITAD. Retire-IT pioneered the use of disposal tags and developed proprietary procedures to protect our clients. Conflicts-of-interest are eliminated. Chain-of-custody reporting is unbiased and verified.

Reduce Hidden Risk

The biggest risks associated with IT asset disposal are employee theft, theft in-transit, and mistakes made by electronics recyclers.

Today, many companies rely on their IT professionals to work directly with disposal vendors without adequate oversight. This approach ignores inherent conflicts-of-interest between the disposal vendor, the company, and the company’s own employees.

Sadly, there is a huge perverse incentive that motivates employees and disposal vendors to hide potential losses. If an organization fails to maintain proper oversight, outsourcing can actually increase the risks and leave it with a false sense of security.

Companies should focus less about what they should pay, and focus on what they could prove in a court of law. Our chain-of-custody reporting is unbiased and objective.

Validated Compliance

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 FACTA. Now, states are also raising the stakes. California adopted a law which requires any company to publicly divulge any breach of security within 48 hours.

Without Retire-IT, you must rely on a recycler to provide reports that document the assets they disposed. Naturally, recyclers want to avoid providing rope for you to hang them.

Real risk (and massive liability) comes from what is NOT reported. Unfortunately, unscrupulous recyclers shield themselves from liability by providing inaccurate and incomplete information.

There are inherent conflicts when you rely directly on a recycler. Without an independently verified chain-of-custody, your process is not truly compliant. Furthermore, you are 100% exposed to the downstream risks.

Organizations cannot audit themselves. Without an audited, unbroken chain-of-custody, you are not in compliance.

Retire-IT provides true compliance, cost savings, and effective risk management.

Lower Cost

Transportation is typically the biggest cost associated with IT asset 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 asset 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 asset disposal and pass those savings along to you.

Better Quality Control

With so many disposal companies in the US, how do you select one with the experience and quality commitment necessary to guarantee that all confidential data is cleansed from your hard drives and ensure your equipment doesn’t end up in landfills?

Retire-IT works solely with experienced, certified partners who follow industry best practices and who adhere to our pledge of product stewardship. We qualify each partner’s processes and continuously monitor their performance.

Retire-IT has a certified partner in your area, so it’s easy to physically inspect how your assets are handled. Retire-IT ensures work is done properly and protects you from regulatory fines, bad publicity, and potential litigation.

Maximum Value Recovery

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.

Faster Service

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.

Better Service

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.
