A client has decommissioned two dozen aging desktop printers after installing newer, energy-efficient models throughout the office. To reduce e-waste and stay compliant with environmental regulations, what is the most appropriate way to dispose of the retired printers?
Store them indefinitely in the IT storeroom for potential parts.
Sell them on an online auction site without wiping internal data.
Place them in the regular trash destined for landfill.
Send them to a certified electronic-waste recycling facility.
Printers contain plastics, circuit boards, and potentially hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, and residual toner. Disposing of them through a certified electronic waste recycling facility ensures the devices are dismantled safely, valuable materials are recovered, and toxic components are handled in accordance with environmental regulations. Landfilling, indefinite storage, or unvetted resale can lead to legal liability and environmental contamination.
