HOBI Weekly Blog Recap (12/04-12/07)

Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts including partnering with an ITAD provider for end of year IT asset disposition, details on why NYC just cut curbside e-scrap pick-up services, what to look for in a vITAD provider, and how to practice proper IT asset management during IATAM awareness month. 

Partner with an ITAD Provider for End of Year IT Asset Disposition 

As the year winds down, this may be the perfect opportunity to declutter office space in preparation for the new year. Because technology is constantly evolving and new models are announced each year, annual upgrades can result in retired IT assets piling up in corners and closets and taking up valuable storage space. Partnering with an ITAD provider relieves enterprises of the burden of disposing of old IT hardware and ensures that it is properly disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. 

NYC Cuts Curbside E-Scrap Pick-up Service 

After several large-scale budget cuts, Staten Island residents will no longer have the option to have curbside e-scrap picked up, according to local news reports. New York City Mayor Eric Adams stated that the cuts are the result of rising costs of the migrant crisis, slowing tax revenues, and the loss of federal pandemic aid. 

What to Look for in a vITAD Provider 

The core ITAD offerings provide clients with services such as logistics, data sanitization, certification, onsite services, and more, but as technology evolves, so do the needs of ITAD clients. Value-added IT asset disposition provides solutions to navigate new hurdles in the industry presented by recent changes via additional services HOBI refers to as vITAD. 

Practice Proper IT Asset Management During IATAM Awareness Month 

This month is IATAM awareness month in honor of the annual event that brings industry professionals together to connect and discuss changes in the ITAD landscape, as well as the importance of IT asset management.
