Recycling
At ACL, we believe the most successful form of recycling is reuse. achieving
maximum reuse is a fundamental objective of our efforts. We have made it our
business to develop an extensive knowledge of second use technology equipment
markets and we combine this with our flexible recovery process. Organizations
that benefit from our disposal service do so with the knowledge that their
surplus equipment continues to be of use and does not enter the waste chain
prematurely or unnecessarily.
Remarketing
Along with the recycling and reuse of electronic components, ACL
offers a great remarketing program for equipment that still has some remaining
useful life. This program offers customers a more efficient and cost-effective
method of disposing of unwanted or obsolete technology. ACL will purchase the
following types of equipment (pending review of condition, makes, models and
date codes) for remarketing:
- Pentium-4 level or higher computer systems and servers
- Telecommunications equipment and telecom components
- Networking equipment including switches, routers
and hubs
- Industrial, commercial and medical electronic and
test equipment
Secure Data Removal
One of the greatest concerns companies have when disposing of their old
computer equipment is the removal of the personal and proprietary data, as well
as licensed software contained on them. Disposing of computer storage devices,
(hard drives, tapes, cd's, etc) without ensuring proper data removal presents
huge business risks. Destruction of
drives, tapes, and other magnetic media is by far the safest means of disposal
and the only method that guarantees that your data cannot be recovered.
ACL offers various levels of secure data removal, up to and
including Total Physical Destruction. Total device destruction is required
for compliance with:
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act)
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act (GLBA)
- Identity
Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act
