So make sure to listen to this episode whether you have old headsets to dispose of today, or in the future.This episode is narrated by Doug Merritt, Founder and CEO of Headset Advisor.A dilema that many businesses face is how to dispose of their old technology products in an environmentally responsible way. Clearly these products can't be tossed out with the regular trash because they contain elements that could be harmful to our environment.So what do you do with your retired old technology products like phones, computers, computer peripherals and all the other tech things we use every day? Well, I can't comment with authority on many of those things, but I can when it comes to your old headsets.Most businesses have a box of old headsets, or even several, that are placed in a storeroom when they are replaced by other headsets. Headsets can be replaced for a variety of reasons:The headset technology is no longer relevant to current needs. Such is the case where a headset is designed for use with a desk phone, but the company migrates to Softphones. If the headset isn't Softphone compatible, then it's technologically outdated, and will need to be replaced.Perhaps the headset broke in some way. And when this happens, chances are it's out of warranty. Further, it's difficult, at best, to know if a headset is in warranty or not. Anyone who has the task of managing headsets will confirm this. So, what do you do when they break? Typically, headsets get replaced.How about the case where someone who uses a headset gets promoted, or fired, or quits, or relocates? In many cases, they don't take their headset with them. So what do you do with their old headset? Some might choose to refurbish it and redeploy it. However, that's not always the best choice because there are many people who don't want to use a previously used headset out of germ concern. This is especially true in the Covid environment we're in.You might just leave them in the storeroom. But that costs you money because the space they consume isn't free. There's an associated square foot cost as well as a prorated amount for things like insurance costs and heating and air conditioning.So what's the answer? I'll tell you.
