Refresh IT Service Offering from USIT
“What are you doing with your old IT assets?”
The following describes how USIT is making technology refresh easier, while
offering a program that mitigates risks and assures indemnification for our clients.
What is it?
- Refresh IT is an asset disposition & recovery service that offers a responsible way to retire outdated IT assets
- Refresh IT shields end users from the environmental, data security and legal liabilities
inherent in improper IT asset disposition (ITAD)
- Refresh IT indemnifies the asset recovery process to ensure the end user of risk
Why is it important?
- End users face very significant legal liability if their IT assets are disposed of or recycled improperly
- Environmental compliance and data security laws are pervasive and the penalties associated with
not handling assets responsibly can be extremely severe
- Refresh IT eliminates all risks associated with environmental and data security compliance
Data Security and Environmental Risks Are Real
- In the next five years, more than 250 million computers will become obsolete in the USA
alone. Currently, less than 15 percent of corporate IT assets are processed through an asset disposition program.
- A recent MIT study of 158 computer disk drives bought from auction sites, PC retailers and
salvage companies found that 74% of the drives contained recoverable data - including company financials, credit card numbers, medical records, and sensitive e-mails.
- EPA studies indicate more than two million tons of high-tech electronics, most of which contain
toxic materials, are dumped in USA. landfills each year.
- Currently, eight states (CA, ME, MN, NH, RI, WA, NY, & MD) have established laws to protect
the environment from the improper disposal of retired electronic devices and more than sixty bills have been introduced in more than 40 states
