Where does my recycled office equipment end up

The answer to this depends on the recycling company you use. A lot of the charity organisations will produce a good working machine from many other donated machines and distribute the refurbished machine to 3^rd world countries for use in schools, colleges or other areas where photocopiers are required, where the cost of new equipment cannot be covered.

By recycling your old office equipment you not only ensure a reduced impact on the environment by reusing kit, but you could also help provide the under-privileged with the use of modern office equipment.
