Dell Technologies Helps Businesses in South Africa Securely and Sustainably Retire IT Equipment

Dell Technologies has announced the expansion of its Asset Recovery Services with new availability in South Africa. 

The service supports any brand of laptop, desktop, server, peripheral or accessory, helping customers receive value from existing IT assets and implement sustainable recycling and recovery services at scale.

Since 2008, Dell has recovered more than 2.5 billion electronics through its takeback programmes, supporting businesses in sustainably retiring IT assets. 

Asset Recovery Services provides a modern, simplified and standardised offer to help customers scale their recycling efforts. 

The offer includes a new, online self-service portal that simplifies asset disposition even more – providing businesses with real-time value estimates, comprehensive resources and streamlined takeback of devices.

Doug Woolley, Managing Director of Dell Technologies South Africa said electronic waste must be recylcled. 

“Every year, the world produces millions of metric tons of electronic and electrical equipment waste, which is damaging to our planet when not disposed of properly. Asset Recovery Services play a critical step in helping customers responsibly retire equipment and reduce their overall environmental footprint.” 

The availability of Dell Asset Recovery Services will make it easier for South African organisations to correctly dispose of their end-of-life electronic equipment. 

This is critical, as the Department of Environmental Affairs has stated that e-waste makes up 5% to 8% of municipal solid waste and is growing three times faster than any other form of waste.
