What is Electronics Surplus Management?
Electronics surplus management refers to the strategic handling of excess, obsolete, or unused electronic equipment and IT assets within an organization. Instead of allowing these valuable resources to collect dust or ending up in landfills, proper management involves assessing, refurbishing, remarketing, or responsibly recycling these assets. At Jay Hoehl Inc., located in Phoenix, Arizona, we've developed sophisticated processes to help businesses transform their electronic surplus from a liability into a source of savings and even revenue.
