Asset Refresh and Recovery

Equipment doesn't last forever! When you are ready for a change, SMS environmentally-friendly recycles your takeouts.

We understand that equipment doesn't last forever. When you are ready for a change, SMS environmentally-friendly recycles your no longer needed equipment.

SMS helps you to dispose of your mature IT assets and considers three factors:

  • Simplicity
    How difficult is it to properly dispose of these systems?
  • Security
    How can I be sure that the data is destroyed on these systems? 
    How do I comply with privacy regulations?
  • Value
    Can I recapture any of my investment in these systems? 
    If not, how much are the disposal costs?

SMS has decades of experience reusing and re-marketing mature IT equipment. SMS Asset Refresh and Recovery Service is a simple process for gaining value from the sale of used computer equipment. There are three ways we buy assets:

Fixed price takeout

You are relieved of the logistical headaches and liquidity risks associated with managing the sale.  For a fixed price, SMS will arrange to remove your unwanted equipment, including the cost of transportation, physical resources, as well as the cost of disposal.

Shared revenue sale

SMS simplifies the task by handling your inventory and verifying its specifications.  If your product has value in the marketplace, it may be able to be sold, and a negotiated percentage of the proceeds returned to you upon completion of the sale.  Product with no value is scrapped in compliance with applicable environmental laws.

No Hassle Option

SMS disposes of the equipment through our hassle-free, All-Inclusivesm option. This option is ideal for customers with an aggressive IT refresh plan who want to avoid the inconvenience of asset disposal.  We arrange for the packaging, transportation cost, receipt, inventory of equipment, asset verification, and disposition.  We test each item to identify its configuration and properly dispose of all your systems as part of All-Inclusive.

Settlement Report

When SMS receives your equipment schedule, we determine its value.  Equipment with no value is recycled in a manner designed to meet Local, State, and Federal requirements.

Once the disposition of your equipment is completed, you will receive a detailed settlement report, which verifies that your hardware was received under a specific tracking number, the data on the hard drives were overwritten or reformatted, and non-functional hard drives were destroyed. The report also provides details as to which hardware was resold or re-cycled.
