Vintage computers and related equipment have a value (although not necessarily in monetary terms) that is greater than would be gained if the items were scrapped.
Ecotech Services prefers having items reused rather than recycled and this includes vintage computers. To this end we remove any suitable computers from our recycling stream and make them available for sale, or for donation to a suitable organisations, or kept as props to be hired or lent out for theatrical or media productions.
