Valaset Services

Description:

When you visit this company’s “About” page, you learn of the priority that Tom Stroup places on recycling. Valaset helps businesses recycle their used computer equipment and business phone systems. They first wipe all data off of servers, desktops and laptops and then all equipment is recycled in an environmentally safe way. Virtually nothing ends up in a landfill. To make this green service appeal to the other kind of “green” in business, Valaset purchases the equipment from the customer at a competitive market price.
