FERPA
Student Data Privacy
Retired Chromebooks, tablets, laptops, and shared lab computers may contain student records, login credentials, and personally identifiable information. FERPA requires institutions to protect this data through its full lifecycle — including disposal. We provide certified destruction and serialized documentation for every device.
1:1
Device Refresh Complexity
One-to-one device programs generate thousands of end-of-life devices every few years. Managing the collection, tracking, and disposal of Chromebooks, iPads, and laptops across dozens of schools requires a logistics partner — not just a recycler. Altech coordinates multi-site pickups built around your academic calendar.
$$$
Tight IT Budgets
Education technology budgets are under constant pressure. Remarketing recoverable devices and components through Altech's certified resale program generates real return on investment — helping fund the next technology refresh without additional budget requests.
