Electronics Recycling vs ITAD: What’s the Difference? 

Electronics recycling companies and ITAD companies both provide similar services, but there are several key differences to take into consideration.

Whenever organisations need to dispose of old devices, there’s a lot to consider. Even at an individual level, most of us would not likely dispose of our old mobile phone or laptop without performing a wipe of all sensitive data and/or formatting the device beforehand.

It’s never a simple “out of sight, out of mind” when the security of the business is at risk from data breaches, but instead a question of how best to dispose of IT assets in a safe and secure manner.

Businesses often choose either an electronics recycling company or an ITAD company to perform this critical task on their behalf. What’s the difference between them and which should you choose for your organisation?
