Information Technology has blossomed in the past couple of decades. As newer and better technology replaces hardware at an ever-increasing speed, alarming amounts of technical trash were being produced almost from the beginning. It was obvious from the outset that sooner or later there would be a problem as people scrambled to update hardware. Where would all that outdated and discarded technology go? The doom and gloomers predicted that every landfill would soon be overflowing with screens and CPUs, along with trashed keyboards and mouses and all the other hardware associated with use of the Internet. It hasn't happened quite the way they said it would.
The Beginning of a New Technological Era
To some it was also a given that sooner or later a few individuals gifted with imagination and foresight would find a way to exploit used technology to the benefit of all. The boom wasn't yet five years old when the Computer Liquidators business was born.
Basically, a computer liquidator will buy computer technology that is about to be replaced in one company, and flip it to a second company. Naturally there are scenarios where the selling company won't be updating: computer liquidation is a viable option for anyone on the verge of bankruptcy to liquidate as many of his assets as possible.
Computer liquidation is a sustainable solution and is environmentally friendly. The best liquidating companies have clearly outlined policies regarding the disposal of dangerous subtances which are often an issue with information technology.
When Recycling Can't be Avoided
Examples of this would be Andover Consulting. This is just one of the highly successful companies that have grown up around a recession and a never-ending source of slightly-used hardware. Marketmou 11:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
