ITAD (IT Asset Disposition)

[1] IT asset disposition (ITAD) is an industry term and practice built around reusing, recycling, repurposing, repairing or disposing of unwanted IT equipment in a safe and environmentally responsible way. An IT organization can practice IT asset disposition itself or have a specialized vendor handle it.

Instead of ending up as electronic waste, or e-waste, in a landfill, an IT device's internal components can be reused. This helps keep waste such as plastics and heavy metals out of the environment.
