Maximize the value left behind in your obsolete devices with 4THBIN!

August 4, 2024
E-waste contains a variety of precious metals, including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, which are used in the manufacturing of electronic components

In 2022, the metals embedded in electronic waste were valued at an estimated $91 billion USD. E-waste contains a variety of precious metals, including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, which are used in the manufacturing of electronic components. When electronic devices are discarded improperly, these valuable materials often end up in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution and resource depletion. Properly recycling e-waste not only mitigates these negative impacts but also allows for the recovery of these precious metals, providing a sustainable source of materials for new electronic products.

At 4THBIN, we maximize the value left behind in your obsolete devices by testing, refurbishing, and re-marketing assets through a network of retail and wholesale channels for the best returns. We ensure your data is secure while recovering precious metals and reducing environmental impact, optimizing both the financial return and sustainability of your IT assets. To learn more about our IT asset disposition services and how we can help you, please contact us.
