The Future is Green with IBM!

Talk about the environment is everywhere, but IBM isn't jumping on the bandwagon. IBM Global Asset Recovery Services (GARS) has been disposing of end-of-lease assets like servers, hard drives, monitors and more through refurbishment, resale and recycling for over 20 years.
