As the holiday season approaches, many organizations begin exploring meaningful ways to give back—whether through charitable initiatives, employee programs, or sustainability commitments. But what if your company could support the community and the planet at the same time?

At Evergreen IT Solutions, we make that possible through two corporate programs designed to turn outdated technology into real impact: our Corporate Buyback Program and our E-Waste Collection Drives. Both offer companies a powerful way to align year-end giving with responsible recycling and environmental stewardship.

Why the Holidays Are the Perfect Time for Sustainable Corporate Giving

November and December are peak months for corporate philanthropy, and for good reason. Teams are wrapping up the year, budgeting cycles are closing, and organizations are looking for meaningful ways to end the year on a positive note.

Pairing these initiatives with sustainability allows companies to:

Reduce environmental impact
Support community programs
Promote responsible consumption
Engage employees in something meaningful
Clear out unused equipment before year-end audits

Evergreen IT Solutions helps companies combine all of these benefits without disrupting daily operations.

Turn Old IT Equipment Into Charitable Impact

Many organizations have decommissioned laptops, desktops, servers, networking gear, or other hardware sitting in storage rooms—equipment that still carries monetary value.

Through Evergreen’s Certified IT Equipment Buyback Program, companies can sell their outdated or unused assets and choose to donate the proceeds to a charity of their choice.

This creates a direct link between sustainability and corporate giving.

Whether it’s supporting a national charity like Toys for Tots, or contributing to a local nonprofit, businesses can transform retired hardware into real financial support—without spending additional budget.

Every device is sanitized following NIST 800-88 data erasure standards and processed through our R2v3, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified recycling streams. Your team receives full documentation, destruction certificates, and asset tracking to ensure security and compliance every step of the way.

Host an On-Site E-Waste Collection Drive for Employees

If your organization wants to involve employees directly, Evergreen offers corporate E-Waste Collection Events—a popular, high-impact option during the holiday season.

Here’s how it works:

Employees bring old or unwanted electronics from home
Evergreen provides secure collection bins, signage, and promotional materials
Our team handles sorting, pickup, and certified recycling
The total weight collected can be converted into a charitable contribution, donated on behalf of your company or your team

These events boost employee engagement, strengthen sustainability culture, and responsibly divert e-waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Why Sustainable Gifting Matters

When companies recycle through Evergreen, they are directly contributing to:

Reduction of harmful landfill waste
Recovery and reuse of valuable materials like aluminum, copper, gold, and plastics
Lower carbon footprint associated with new electronics manufacturing
Safer, more responsible handling of hazardous universal waste

In a season built on generosity, choosing sustainable initiatives sends a powerful message—to your employees, your community, and the planet.
