How to Choose a Reliable E-Waste Recycling Service for Your Business
Can anyone recommend a good e-waste recycling service for a mid-sized company? We have old IT equipment piling up and need proper disposal with compliance documentation. What should I check before choosing?

Went through something similar at our office last year when we had to get rid of a bunch of old servers and monitors. The first thing I looked at was whether the service actually provides compliance certificates after the job is done. Without that, there's no proof anything was handled properly.
I also checked if they do asset tracking by device type and serial number, because for IT equipment that really matters. Some places just take everything and you never know what happened to it. For reference, it has a pretty clear breakdown of what their process looks like, which helped me understand what a structured approach should include.
Another thing worth checking is data destruction. If the equipment has hard drives, certified wiping or physical shredding is not optional. Companies that gloss over that part are usually not worth trusting with anything sensitive.
