Security, tracking, sustainability, and ROI –
all in one place.
What if you could securely get rid of your used and retired IT hardware AND get money back on that equipment at the same time? You can! As national experts in customized electronic recycling and IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), Summit 360 is the only partner you need when it’s time to retire your used IT hardware. From servers and networking equipment to laptops and cell phones, we take your old hardware, erase your data, and resell it, so you put money back in your pocket.
Value Recovery
A major focus of our electronic recycling and ITAD process, alongside protecting your data and sustainability, is putting money back into your business. For all of your hardware that we’re able to erase and resell, you’ll recover a portion of the value. We’ll not only dispose of your retired hardware, but you may also turn a profit on your work with Summit 360. We’re committed to making that possible, using the relationships we’ve built over the last thirty years with nationwide customers and wholesale partners to ensure you receive the highest ROI on your equipment.
We’ll return the value of your hardware through these hassle-free options:
-
Money back payments
-
Open credit with Summit 360 for future purchases
-
Donation on your company’s behalf to the non-profit of your choice
Environmental Diligence
When it comes to disposing of your used and retired IT hardware and handling your e-waste, compliance is becoming more and more important. Increasingly, regulations and sustainability are taking precedent.
We adhere to strict:
-
Environmental compliance practices
-
Hardware disposal documentation including Certificates of Destruction
-
Downstream vendor quality assurance and certification
-
Regulations regarding toxic and harmful material handling
At Summit 360, we started working within the circular economy before it had a name, and we’re uniquely positioned to help you meet today’s environmental requirements.
Security Above All Else
From the time a piece of hardware leaves your facilities to its arrival at Summit 360, and through our entire electronic recycling and ITAD process, the security of your data is our first priority – and it should be yours as well.
Summit 360’s data security focus includes:
-
Industry-leading data-sanitation processes
-
Real-time ITAD portal and hardware tracking
-
State-of-the-art on-site surveillance, cameras, and access controls
-
Background-checked staff
We secure your hardware, we secure our people, and most important, we secure your data – from start to finish.
Summit 360 joins a global, select group as an early adopter of the R2v3 certification program: the comprehensive, voluntary industry standard for used IT hardware recyclers and resellers, managed by Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI). The R2v3 certification requirements enhance all dimensions of ITAD operations, including downstream recycling chains, data sanitization, hardware testing and repair, materials recovery, and even brokering.
Not all ITAD partners are created equal…
Within the ITAD industry, there are massive variations in the security, processes, reporting, and ROI you’ll receive. At Summit 360, we’ve invested the resources, finances, and energy into creating a nationwide electronic recycling and ITAD service we’re willing to stand behind. Disposing of your hardware can come with risks. It’s our job to eliminate those dangers and replace them with confidence.
Waste free, worry free.
Built on a Proven Process
A quality electronic recycling and ITAD program is only as valuable as the process that drives it. Our core processes guide every step of Summit 360’s e-waste and ITAD offerings, with checkpoints at each step that tie back to our security, reporting, environmental diligence, and the focus we have on maximizing customer ROI.

A $100,000 mistake…
In 2014, Visionworks experienced two data breaches that impacted over 120,000 individuals.
As encrypted servers were being upgraded, the first incident involved a mistakenly discarded
server containing the Protected Health Information of approximately 75,000 individuals.
The second incident impacted about 45,000 records. Although there was little risk to the breach
victims in either case, there was a violation of the HIPAA Security Rule and safeguards,
which led to Visionworks having to pay a $100K data breach settlement.
