Transforming Old Computers: Resale, Reuse, and Giving Back

Tier One processes around 60,000 computer items annually, checking and wiping data for security. They maximize stock use by reselling or donating, notably partnering with Computer Aid to send computers to developing countries. While PCs are often decommissioned, laptops retain value and are resold, often via eBay. An upcoming EU directive on electronic waste is prompting companies to reconsider their disposal practices.
