Brian Musil, founder of Recycle Your Media (www.recycleyourmedia.com), says:

How can RecycleYourMedia impact data centers?

Recycle Your Media offers all tape media using data centers a way to offset costs and recoup IT expenses while remaining environmentally conscious. The current economic climate strongly suggests that companies must, now more than ever, concentrate on budget concerns and financial modesty. Recycle Your Media will buy used data tape media allowing companies to recoup initial IT expenses. At the same time, the same corporations are able to purchase recertified media at a fraction of the cost of new tape media. It is a time in which businesses all have a corporate responsibility to protect the environment. When a company chooses to recycle its used tape media to Recycle Your Media, the company is also choosing to contribute to the elimination of e-waste.
