With our approach to IT recycling, we give depreciated equipment a second life or ensure sustainable recycling. From monitors to printers, from batteries to phones - we collect it, register it, destroy data in a certified way and ensure that usable materials are reused. And we do this not only carefully, but also simply: you do not have to lift or arrange anything yourself, we take care of everything.<\/p>\n                                                                                                <div class=\"button-holder\">\n                                                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/offerte\/afvoer-recycling-van-hardware\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">Request a Quote<\/a>\n                                                                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button alt\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a>\n                                                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n    \n\n    <div  class=\"section section-images-slider has-no-padding-top-d has-no-padding-bottom-d has-no-padding-top-m has-no-padding-bottom-m has-no-bg has-no-pattern\">\n        \n                    <div class=\"slider-container\">\n                <div class=\"slider-track\">\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9377-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9143-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"on-site data destruction\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9701-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"buying up cisco\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9677-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzadoe-9540-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9459-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9721-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9270-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9167-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n        <div  class=\"section section-block-cards has-no-bg has-pattern-blue\">\n            \n            <div class=\"container\">\n                <div class=\"holder\">\n                    <div class=\"content-holder\">\n                        <h2>IT recycling: what happens to your old hardware?<\/h2>\n<p>Old hardware in your organisation accumulates faster than you think. Laptops that have been replaced, printers that no longer work, phones that are obsolete, servers that have been written off. Everything often remains in a closet or IT room, waiting for \u2018someday\u2019. But all that depreciated equipment contains raw materials, sensitive data and, in many cases, residual value. That is why it is important to act in time.<\/p>\n<p>IT recycling is not just about getting rid of equipment, but also about caring for data, the environment and legislation. Discarded IT equipment should not just be thrown in the regular rubbish. Moreover, within companies and organisations, you are responsible for the safe handling of all data stored on these devices. Well-organised IT recycling therefore contributes to your information security, your environmental policy and your compliance.<\/p>\n\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"block-holder\">\n                                                    <div class=\"blocks\">\n                                                                                                            <div class=\"column\">\n                                                                                            <div class=\"block\">\n                                                    <div class=\"inner\">\n                                                        <h3>1.

Many laptops, desktops, servers or peripherals are still in good condition and, after a thorough check, can be reused. Within our IT recycling process, we assess each device for reusability upon arrival. Does it still work well? Then we provide a professional clean-up, updates and minor repairs where necessary. This gives usable devices a second life, for example in education or social initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>When recycling is not possible, we ensure environmentally friendly disposal. Materials such as aluminium, copper and precious metals are recovered, while harmful components are carefully disposed of. Of course, all data present on the devices is first permanently and securely removed. In this way, we combine responsible recycling with maximum data security and a sustainable disposal process.<\/p>\n                                                            <div class=\"button-holder\">\n                                                                                                                <a href=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button alt\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n    \n\n    <div  class=\"section section-cta has-small-image has-no-padding-bottom-d has-no-padding-bottom-m has-no-bg has-no-pattern\">\n        \n        <div class=\"holder\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n                <div class=\"cta-holder\">\n                                            <div class=\"image-holder\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/LI-retouched.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"content-holder\">\n                        <div class=\"inner\">\n                            <p>Would you like to know which products are best suited for your business?<\/p>\n<p>Get in touch with our advisors.
