COLAMCO ASSIST

Recycling & value recovery

COLAMCO’s technological platform gets the most value out of your expendable IT assets. We offer the best end-of-life solution in the electronics recycling industry, and our technicians maximize what can be recovered, because recovery is always the better environmental answer for equipment that still contains reusable components.

Why COLAMCO?

COLAMCO evaluates the best path for every kind of electronic it receives, using a mix of our own asset tracking software and industry-leading remarketing specialists. Where necessary, all data-storage devices are cleaned according to your preferences. The IT asset then goes through our rigorous refurbishing and remarketing processes, which are approved by Microsoft.

Save money and time

Scrapping too early costs you the resale

If a product is scrapped before it has run its course, the company misses the revenue it could have earned from resale value in consumer markets. Failing to refurbish properly, or to maximize a device’s remaining potential, turns what should be a return into a loss. Remarketing without understanding the sales channel has the same result: no return on the investment.

We can carry the resale risk for you

COLAMCO will sell such assets for your account, or purchase them outright for our own and assume the entire resale risk. Some clients even prefer to pay COLAMCO for its services with obsolete assets rather than with cash.

Recycling: compliant and environmentally conscious

Information technology has drastically changed the way businesses operate and communicate, and many companies now rely on electronic devices to automate their processes. When those products reach the end of their lifespan, they have to be recycled in a way that doesn’t damage the environment. COLAMCO helps leading companies dispose of old electronics properly, so they can be recycled without breaking any legal regulations.

We have a worldwide network of certified e-waste recycling centers following our closed-loop approach to responsible recycling, which ensures hazardous materials are disposed of transparently and safely. With COLAMCO you can be confident that any data-bearing equipment is destroyed in a secure and compliant manner.

The market value of obsolete client assets varies considerably depending on what is being sold and for what purpose: reuse in commerce, scrapping for components, or recovery of raw materials. The market for obsolete assets and raw materials is international.

We often receive shipments containing a mix of electronics that could be reused and equipment too old or broken to repair. We assess each piece to determine whether repairing it is worth the time investment before sending it on to recycling, and we offer multiple services that compliantly dispose of and recycle IT equipment according to each client’s requirements.

Security as a priority

We understand how crucial the security of your data is. We take measures to ensure all identifying tags and labels are removed from your IT assets, and the data destruction process resets devices to factory specifications, for magnetic and storage media alike. If needed we provide packaging materials and packing services, and we assist with decommissioning if assets are still in place throughout your datacenter.

Certified destruction, documented

Data-bearing equipment is destroyed to the same standards described on our data destruction page, with the drive serial number reported on the Certificate of Destruction. See data destruction.
