Im always shocked how much good IT equipment is shoved into the trashbin: At a lot of companies I could make a great deal - either for using it on my own or selling it on Ebay later on.

Big Corporations offen trash IT equipment thats only 3 - 4 years old. And there is no recycling etc. Very sad.

Big corporations tend to send old hardware through the surplus marketplace. There's lots of 3-4 year old corporate computers for sale. Often, the company leases the computers and then the lessor will sell them when they're returned.

I got a pretty nice 120Hz ultrawide dell for cheap at one of those surplus shops awhile back.

Apple themselves make pretty good business leasing their own products that way.

Meanwhile I’m at faang and they’re reusing 7 year old monitors still. Still getting equipment from pre-covid era.

Where are these luxurious big corporations that give their employees nice new equipment? :(
