In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, businesses face a persistent challenge: what to do with outdated, surplus, or non-functional electronic equipment. As Arizona's premier provider of IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services, Jay Hoehl Inc. offers sustainable solutions that not only help businesses avoid contributing to landfills but also maximize the value of their electronic assets.
Electronic waste represents one of the fastest-growing waste streams in modern society. Consider these sobering statistics:
Over 50 million metric tons of e-waste are generated globally each year
Only 17.4% of this waste is formally documented as properly collected and recycled
The average American generates approximately 46 pounds of electronic waste annually
Corporate e-waste represents over 60% of all discarded electronics
E-waste often contains hazardous materials like lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame retardants
In Phoenix and throughout Arizona, businesses large and small contribute to this growing problem when they don't have proper disposal protocols in place. Outdated servers, obsolete computers, retired networking equipment, and surplus inventory often end up improperly stored or, worse, in landfills where they pose environmental risks.
When electronic equipment ends up in landfills, toxic substances can leach into soil and groundwater. A single computer monitor can contain several pounds of lead, while circuit boards may contain beryllium, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants. These toxins have been linked to:
Contamination of local water supplies
Disruption of ecosystems
Health problems in nearby communities
Contribution to air pollution when improperly incinerated
Many businesses don't realize they have legal obligations regarding electronic waste disposal:
Federal regulations like the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) apply to many forms of electronic waste
Several states, including Arizona, have specific e-waste legislation
Companies can face significant fines for improper disposal practices
Data protection laws like HIPAA, GLBA, and GDPR require proper handling of stored data
Today's consumers and business partners are increasingly concerned with environmental responsibility:
78% of consumers say they are more likely to purchase from environmentally responsible companies
73% of investors consider sustainability performance when making investment decisions
Corporate sustainability reports now routinely include e-waste metrics
Negative publicity from improper waste handling can damage brand reputation permanently
At Jay Hoehl Inc., we've developed a systematic approach to electronics disposal that ensures maximum value recovery while maintaining strict environmental and security standards:
1. Initial Assessment and Inventory
Our team conducts a thorough evaluation of your surplus equipment, documenting:
Make, model, and specifications of each item
Functional status and condition
Potential resale value or recycling path
Data-bearing components requiring secure handling
2. Secure Data Destruction
Before any equipment leaves your facility, we implement robust data security measures:
Department of Defense (DoD) compliant data wiping
Physical destruction of storage media when necessary
Detailed documentation and certificates of data destruction
Chain-of-custody tracking throughout the process
3. Value Recovery Evaluation
We carefully assess each item for its optimal disposition path:
Resale as functional equipment
Refurbishment potential
Parts harvesting opportunities
Commodity material recovery
4. Environmentally Responsible Processing
Items that cannot be resold or refurbished are processed through our environmentally certified recycling network:
Zero-landfill policies ensure nothing goes to waste
Hazardous materials are properly contained and processed
Raw materials are recovered for use in new manufacturing
Processing occurs domestically whenever possible

Many businesses are surprised to learn that their "obsolete" equipment often retains significant value:
Enterprise-grade servers can retain 15-30% of original value even several years after purchase
Network equipment from major manufacturers maintains resale value longer than most IT assets
Specialized equipment often has niche markets willing to pay premium prices
Even non-functional equipment contains valuable commodities like gold, silver, copper, and rare earth elements
Proper documentation of IT asset disposition can provide tax advantages:
Charitable donations of functional equipment may qualify for tax deductions
Accurate recording of assets' end-of-life can enhance depreciation strategies
Reduced carrying costs for outdated inventory

Our processes support circular economy principles:
Equipment reuse extends product lifecycle
Component recovery keeps valuable materials in productive use
Recycling reduces demand for new resource extraction
Reduced manufacturing demand for new equipment production
