A global population explosion and an insatiable hunger for new cutting-edge technology lead to unprecedented volumes of electronic equipment.

All users of electronics need to effectively manage their IT assets at the end-of-life.

IT Asset Disposal (ITAD).
Together with our clients and partners we have diverted 56 240 tons of e-waste from landfill across South Africa

What is IT Asset Management?
IT (Information Technology) Asset Management is a business practice that optimises the life span of technology within the IT environment. The importance of asset management for your company's IT components cannot be over-stated.

AST Recycling provides unique ITAM solutions that help the environment, optimise IT systems, protect your data and save you money.

When the time comes to replace and dispose of retired IT assets, AST Recycling can help business manage their IT and electronic equipment disposal in a manner that is responsible, secure and maximises any remaining value.
