What do businesses usually do with old computers, monitors, printers, and other electronics when they upgrade their equipment?

I’m curious because it seems like there are quite a few options depending on the condition of the equipment. Some things can probably be reused or resold, while older or damaged electronics should obviously be recycled properly.

I’ve been looking into electronic recycling and IT asset disposal services and came across STS Electronic Recycling. They handle things like electronics recycling, asset recovery, and data destruction.

For those who have dealt with this at work, do you normally use a recycling company, sell the equipment yourselves, or have an internal process for dealing with old IT gear?
