Merry Christmas From The Buy IT Back Team!

By | News | No Comments

Everyone at Buy IT Back would like to wish all of our customers and very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year!

Since celebrating our 25th anniversary last year, Buy IT Back has gone from strength to strength helping even more customers turn their redundant IT equipment into cash.

Whether you are upgrading your PC’s, telecoms systems or almost any other electronics, a quick phone call to Buy IT Back will start you on the road to generating some income, adhering to your environmental responsibilities, avoiding waste, and ensuring that your data is completely and securely erased.

Roger Martin, Managing Director of Buy IT Back, said:

“Christmas gives us all some time to stop and think about both the last year and our plans for the future. This year I will be doing both with a smile on my face. We have had a great year working with lots of new and existing clients to make their lives easier, taking their old IT equipment, securely and ecologically sensitively recycling it – and paying them for the pleasure of doing so! We are looking forward to working with even more clients in 2019.”

There’s no denying that 2019 may bring some challenges, economic uncertainty around the impact of Brexit and the continuing speed of technological advancements can make investing in new IT equipment both a necessity and a concern. However here at Buy IT Back we hope to make this process as easy, and a profitable, as possible for you. You can rest assured that we recycle all of your equipment to the highest possible standards, adhering to current EU lead WEEE regulations, and keeping abreast of any potential changes that may come.

Why You Should Recycle Your Old Apple Tech

By | Apple Equipment, Computer Recycling | No Comments

Recycling is a hot topic at the moment. Recent press articles and TV programmes such as the BBC’s Blue Planet have highlighted the huge negative impact waste has on our environment.

Crucially, just a few small changes can make a big difference, such as recycling. It’s important to make our environment a cleaner place, conserving materials, saving energy and reducing the amount of rubbish sent to landfill.

Companies can play a key role in helping to reduce environmental damage by recycling their old IT kit, such as Apple equipment.

Help the environment

Many parts of your old Apple kit can be re-purposed to make new equipment. Often producing recycled materials requires less energy than the manufacture of new equipment. Recycling also conserves energy by reducing the need for transportation of raw materials, which also decreases greenhouse gas emissions and vehicle emissions during shipping.

Another important consideration is the safe disposal of the old equipment. At Buy IT Back, we ensure your old Apple equipment is disposed of in a safe and controlled manner. Our expertise gives you peace of mind that you are preventing potentially hazardous waste from entering landfill, which could damage plant and animal life with soil and water contamination.

Cashback for your business

We want to make the process easy for you and give you the opportunity to earn some money, while also securely recycling your old equipment in an environmentally friendly way.

Your equipment will be fully assessed by our professional team who will then provide you with a free competitive quote for its disposal and recycling. Plus, our cashback offer can provide a financial boost to aid your business.

What Apple equipment do we buy?

We are interested in a wide variety of Apple equipment including old MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Minis and iPhones. Please feel free to contact us if your equipment doesn’t appear on this list, as our team of experts will be more than happy to discuss the options.

Contact our friendly team via email or ring 01621 786860 for further information and to receive a free quote to recycle your old Apple equipment.

Five Reasons Businesses Are Migrating To The Cloud

By | Cloud Computing, Computer Disposal, Computer Recycling, Data Destruction, Uncategorized | No Comments

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing involves the use of a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage and process data, rather than a local server or personal computer. Many people don’t even realise they’re using the cloud. Did you know that when you update your Facebook page via your phone, you’re accessing the data via a cloud service?

During recent years cloud computing has become more popular as more and more businesses realise the wide variety of advantages on offer. Here are five reasons on why you should migrate to the cloud and how Buy IT Back can help you.

1. Cost

Cloud computing may reduce the ongoing cost of managing and maintaining your IT systems. For example, reductions in the cost of buying specialised hardware and software, physical building space for on-site data servers and equipment.

Increasingly businesses are favouring a ‘pay as you go’ approach, whereby you simply pay for services depending upon your business requirements. Essentially cloud computing offers great value and can release much-needed cash which could be invested in other areas of your business.

2. Speed

Due to the advancements in cloud computing technology huge amounts of data can be accessed via a few clicks. This provides easy access to key data, increases productivity and allows clients to focus on key business decisions rather than IT management issues.

3. Reliability

Cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery and business continuity easier and less expensive, because data can be mirrored at a number of sites on the cloud provider’s network.

4. Scale

Business requirements can change rapidly in the marketplace and cloud computing allows you to increase or decrease your computing needs quickly and simply. This means that your computing environment rapidly matches the requirements of your business.

5. Collaboration

Enables your business and employees to communicate and share information more easily. Documents can be kept in a central, cloud-accessible location, so employees can simply access relevant documents from a variety of geographical locations.

How we can help

Buy IT Back provide key services in data centre recycling and can maximise the residual value held in redundant server, HDD storage and network switching hardware. Using our expertise we can guide you through the necessary steps to successfully dispose and recycle your old hardware whilst also maximising its financial value.

Don’t delay, contact us today to find out more about Data Centre Recycling and receive a free quote and realise the potential savings for your business.

Why Should Computer Recycling Be Important To Your Business?

By | Computer Disposal, Computer Recycling | No Comments

Technology changes at a rapid pace and businesses often need to refresh their IT equipment to realise the benefits new innovations can offer and stay ahead of the competition. On the other hand, you may want to downsize your operations to free-up physical office space or cash. However, discarded computer equipment needs to be disposed of in a safe and controlled manner because it can contain toxic substances and is effectively classed as hazardous waste.

In addition, the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive was introduced in 2007. The legislation aims to reduce the amount of electrical and electronic equipment being produced and to encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it.

In a nutshell, this means you are legally obliged to dispose or recycle your IT equipment safely and securely. This is where Buy IT Back can help. With 25 years’ experience we provide a total solution from secure data deletion, testing, storage, collection through to disposal, which enables our clients to efficiently dispose of their redundant IT hardware, and what’s more we’ll give you some money in return.

Cashback for your business

We will evaluate your old equipment and provide you with a competitive quote for its disposal and recycling. Our cashback offer gives you a financial boost to aid your business and recoup some of your monetary outlay for future IT refresh projects or other areas of investment in your business.

Hassle free disposal

With our wealth of expertise we provide an efficient disposal and recycling solution which saves you a lot of time, effort and financial cost to effectively comply with the WEEE legislation.

Helping the environment

By recycling your old and unwanted IT hardware, you’re doing your bit to help the environment by preventing potentially hazardous waste from entering landfill and causing soil and water contamination.

Promoting sustainability

Rather than sending your electronic waste straight to landfill, why not make arrangements for it to be collected, reused or recycled? By using Buy IT Back’s recycling services, certain parts of the kit can be repurposed to make new equipment, while reducing the impact on our Earth’s resources.

Contact us now for further information and receive a free quote for the complete buy back of your electronic waste and unwanted IT equipment.

Buy IT Back Is 25 Years Old!

By | News | No Comments

2017 sees Buy IT Back celebrating it’s 25th year helping companies to safely and securely realise the value in their redundant IT hardware.

Established in 1992, Discovery Computer Services saw that there were numerous companies that were struggling to fund the cost of correctly disposing with their old IT hardware and telecoms equipment. With the introduction of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) this meant that along with the cost of upgrading their IT equipment, businesses were also faced with the mounting cost of ensuring that they disposed of their old equipment correctly.

So Buy IT Back was created to purchase a company’s old IT and telecoms hardware. The company would be given a realistic market value for their redundant equipment, all data would be securely deleted and then the equipment could be refurbished for resale or competently recycled. Through the sale of their old IT equipment the company could then fund an even bigger and better upgrade – and when the time came to dispose of that, they could just do it all over again!
