WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST US WITH YOUR OLD PC?
Ankermann, ASUS or Acer, to name just a few of the well-known manufacturers - they all constantly bring new models onto the market that are more powerful, have a more modern design and are more comprehensively equipped than the previous generation. The leaps in innovation are certainly smaller today than they were a few years ago. However, this can already be the decisive nuance to work even more efficiently, to gamble or to enjoy the whole variety of the multimedia world. We also know that in many households numerous old devices are still living in the shadows and are waiting for a new life. Search your basement and attic, decide to send your used PC to us and we will dispose of it professionally.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO SEND US YOUR OLD PC?
The professional recycling of your old PC is not only worthwhile for the environment. By sending us your old and fully functional PC, you give it a second life, so that the IT lifecycle of the product is significantly extended. This saves valuable resources, electronic waste is avoided and you sustainably reduce your CO₂ footprint, in line with a responsible approach to our environment.
But that's not all. Because we believe that good deeds are rewarded, you will receive a voucher from us for the old device, which is based on the value of the PC. Depending on the condition and value of the old PC, you will receive a voucher worth €0 in extreme cases up to €200 for our PC shop, which you can use to buy new hardware in our shop. The voucher has a minimum order value of €700 and is valid for the return of functioning PCs; the hard drive or SSD may be defective, otherwise there are no other conditions. Perhaps while browsing our website you will find a new system or accessory to reward you?
Give yourself a push - create space in your home and do something good for the environment at the same time.
