In the race to stay ahead with technology, many companies upgrade their IT infrastructure regularly. But what happens to the equipment left behind?
If your business is storing outdated laptops, desktops, servers, or hard drives, you could be facing significant hidden costs that impact your bottom line, compliance status and sustainability goals.
At Go Green Recycling, we specialize in helping South African corporates recover value, reduce risk and streamline IT disposal through our certified, secure and sustainable solutions.
The Hidden Costs of Redundant IT Assets
Financial Depreciation
Every month your unused IT assets lose resale value. For example, a 6th Generation laptop stored for 6 months could lose up to 50% of its potential buy-back value.
Space & Operational Overhead
Redundant equipment takes up valuable space in storerooms, server rooms or off-site facilities. Space that could be put to new use or monetized.
Data Security & Compliance Risk
Unsecured hard drives in storage pose a serious risk under POPIA, GDPR, and NIST 800-88 standards. A breach could result in fines and reputational damage.
Missed ESG & Sustainability Metrics
Proper IT disposal contributes directly to your Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting. E-waste is a measurable metric often overlooked.
IT Team Distraction
Managing outdated assets distracts your IT team from strategic upgrades and support.
