At some point most businesses will be faced with the decision of what to do with unused IT equipment and if you are in retail that will include EPOS hardware too. All too often it’s either left abandoned in storage or scrapped and neither is the best option for you or the planet.
The most likely reason that you have unused kit is that you’ve upgraded or change your system, not that your old one was faulty, so it makes sense to trade it in rather than leave it gathering dust.
Let’s take a look at the benefits:
Free up storage space – the cost of storage isn’t cheap, even if it’s on your own premises. Wasted space is wasted opportunity.
Help to finance your new equipment – there’s often real monetary value in your old hardware, sell it on and offset some costs.
Helping the environment – by allowing your redundant (to you) hardware to have a second life, you also divert it away from landfill. By avoiding landfill you are also helping to stop the spread of the harmful toxins that are released from electrical items in landfill. These toxins, such as lead, cadmium and mercury have a devastating effect on our eco systems and water.
Help other businesses and charities – one man’s waste is another man’s treasure, by allowing your old equipment to be re-used you are contributing to the circular economy.
