IT-exchange.org is a not for profit scheme to supply low cost or free IT equipment and services to charities, community organisations. The core philosophy of It-exchange.org is to provide access to ITC services, tuition and equipment, without the diversion of striving for financial gain.

The scheme also addresses pressing environmental issues by ensuring that ITC waste practices are carried out professionally and with minimum impact to the environment.

It-Exchange in the community
Today, in the UK, many projects offer free or low cost recycled hardware to community groups, educational facilities and social organisations. However, in many cases suitable equipment can be rejected because the end user feels unsettled by various issues, such as

In order to minimise these concerns, It-exchange.org offers high quality refurbished equipment coupled with extensive technical, installation and support services.

Conscientious Waste Disposal
Large Organisations often find that retiring redundant IT equipment is time consuming and stressful. Redundant equipment often piles up gathering dust as compliance with Data protection issues, ever changing waste disposal legislation and health & safety implications cause delays in disposal. Storing redundant IT equipment occupies expensive storage space and requires ongoing administration. Currently, few organisations consider their redundant equipment to be an asset.

It-exchange requires a constant source of general ITC equipment, which is secured by providing organisations and companies an ecological, cost effective and secure solution to retire their unwanted ITC hardware. In most cases, our disposal services are exchanged for the unwanted equipment.

Adopting our ITC disposal service ensures that waste management practices exceed current ecological and legal requirements. A further benefit is that It-exchange assumes ongoing liability for all equipment removed. Our decommissioning services can include secure hard drive wiping, data risk assessment and the provision of detailed paper and computerised asset removal reports.

Organisations that benefit from our ITC disposal service ensure that their surplus ITC equipment continues to be useful and does not enter the waste chain prematurely.

Common sense and the impending Pan European WEEE EU Waste management directive concur..... Reuse is the most effective form of recycling.
