There are a few ways to deal with aging/outdated computers at your district:
Options | Pro | Con |

Run to Recycling | Responsible Disposition Free Up Space | Costs Money Takes Time |
Sell to STS | Quick No Upfront Cost Responsible Disposition Free Up Space Receive Cash or Credit | None |
What happens to your old devices?
Used computers are audited, including a visual inspection followed by a diagnostic test to establish a baseline value for the device.
Hard drives are immediately scrubbed to protect district data and student privacy.
Working units are then refurbished and sold as STS Certified Second-Life Hardware or broken down for parts.
Remaining components are recycled or donated to local schools for mixed media art projects.
*Final buyback price may be lower or higher depending on the actual condition. If there are units received that are non-functioning or heavily damaged, STS will recycle them for you.
Selling your computers to STS is as simple as 1,2,3.
