What do you do with old IT equipment?
You know how it is. The cabinets are overflowing with old laptops, desktops, monitors, and smartphones. You know you can’t just throw them in the trash. But what do you actually do with it?
We believe that every device deserves a second life. That’s why we’re joining forces with STW (Shortcut to Work). They ensure that your old IT equipment is given a second life for social good, while your sensitive business data is securely and permanently deleted.

The Problem of Electronic Waste
Every year, tons of perfectly usable IT equipment end up in the scrap heap. Meanwhile, on the other side of society, there is a severe shortage. Vulnerable youth, older adults, and people with low incomes do not have access to their own computers. And that’s a big problem, because with just a smartphone, it’s hard to participate in the digital world. Whether you’re writing a resume, handling paperwork, or learning online, you’ll need a computer.
The solution: secure erasure and social reuse
We believe that your old items are a gold mine for someone else. That’s why we’re joining forces with STW. STW is a social enterprise that offers vulnerable young people a job training program. By refurbishing and securely erasing your old devices, they gain valuable work experience. That way, you’re not just giving someone a device—you’re giving them a new chance.
Equipment that is still usable is refurbished and reused by:
- schools
- social organizations
- vulnerable youth
- families with limited resources
- older adults
- people who are trying to get back into the workforce
This way, technology regains its value, and someone is given new opportunities.
How exactly does that work?
You don’t have to worry about logistics or safety. We’ll take care of everything.
- Note: Just let us know which items can be picked up.
- Secure Data Destruction: All drives are professionally erased using YouWipe Extended HMG Infosec High. This has been recognized by NATO and the NCSC.
- Certificate: You will receive official proof of data deletion.
- Traceability: Each device is registered. You can see exactly what happens to your material.
- Social impact: STW ensures the reuse, recovery of parts, or recycling through MIREC, a recycling company specializing in the processing of electronic waste.
Your Impact in Numbers
By participating, you’ll be making a direct contribution to digital inclusion and a circular economy. You will receive a clear impact report detailing the number of devices reused, theCO2 emissions saved, and the social impact. In addition, every device remains fully traceable from pickup through reuse, recycling, or destruction.
