Fisher’s leverages an e-waste partner to ensure the devices are being recycled and reused whenever possible. Devices that are still supportable will be redeployed on campus as needed.

At Fisher’s we understand that our customers are concerned with the full lifecycle of technology and want  peace of mind that the material we are handling is recycled in an environmentally sound manner. No equipment that is processed by Fisher’s Technology is taken directly to a landfill.
