Desco

Yes, we sell primarily to resellers, retailers, and fellow refurbishes, but also offer equipment to end-users looking for quality refurbished tech.

We assess assets based on age, condition, and functionality. Our primary focus is on enterprise-grade laptops and PCs (e.g., Dell Latitude, Lenovo ThinkPad, HP ProDesk, Dell OptiPlex, HP EliteDesk, etc.) that are still in working or repairable condition.

As a guideline:

• Devices less than 10 years old usually qualify for refurbishment and resale.
• Equipment that is too old or damaged may still be collected for responsible recycling.

Not sure if your IT assets qualify? Simply email us your asset list or photos and our team will advise you.

Certificates detail the type and quantity of assets processed, the method of data handling (erasure or destruction), and confirmation of environmentally compliant recycling or reuse, ensuring full audit traceability.

A CSI donation allows businesses to give qualifying IT equipment to schools, NGOs, or community projects. Desco refurbishes and data-wipes these devices, ensuring they benefit education and upliftment programmes.

An EEE Producer is a company that manufactures, imports, sells, or distributes electrical and electronic equipment (like computers, laptops, printers, servers, or appliances). EEE Producers are responsible for ensuring that their products are collected, reused, or recycled at the end of their life, in compliance with South African e-waste regulations.

Data erasure securely wipes data from a device so it can be reused, while data destruction physically destroys the storage medium, making recovery impossible. Both ensure your information is permanently removed.

Yes, we can collect both reusable IT assets (for purchase or refurbishment) and non-working e-waste in a single collection. Just let us know what you have, and we’ll handle the sorting, grading, and responsible processing.
