IBM makes it easy and economical to recycle IBM and non-IBM equipment. IBM Express Asset Recovery Solutions offers an environmentally safe PC recycling service for assets without market value in accordance with state, local, Federal and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines.
Getting started
Call our toll-free phone number and provide us with a detailed description of the PC equipment to receive a no-obligation quote valid for 30 days. To finalize the recycling of the equipment, simply sign and return the appropriate agreement, and prepare the equipment for pick-up. IBM will pick up the equipment, ensure it matches the signed agreement and charge your credit card, or your client's credit card, for the agreed-upon fee. The equipment will be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.
Eligible equipment
Contact us to determine what assets have market value. Equipment with market value will receive a quote for buyback rather than for recycling.
The table below provides examples of equipment types without market value, which are therefore eligible for recycling.
