The greenest laptop is the one you already own.
Most of a laptop's carbon is spent before it is ever switched on, so every device we bring back to life is a factory run that never has to happen. As a Lenovo and Dynabook Authorized Service Center, we help homes and businesses across New Jersey keep their computers working longer: repair first, reuse second, recycle responsibly last.

The problem is bigger than the recycling bin.
E-waste is growing five times faster than it is recycled. Keeping devices in service longer does more good than recycling them.

Repair. Reuse. Recycle. In that order, always.
Repair
A tired battery or a cracked screen should not send a good laptop to the landfill. Our certified, factory-trained technicians repair it at our Princeton service center.
- Genuine Lenovo parts on Lenovo warranty repairs
- Screens, batteries, keyboards and motherboards
- SSD and memory upgrades that keep an older laptop quick
- On-site support, so devices stay at work instead of in transit
Reuse
When a device leaves one desk, it can start a second life at another. We get it ready: wiped, set up again and tested.
- Secure data wipes before a device changes hands
- Operating system setup and re-imaging for a new hire or a loaner pool
- Device setup for the person taking it over
Recycle, responsibly
When a device truly cannot go on, your data is wiped before the hardware goes anywhere.
- Drives wiped to NIST 800-88, the US standard for erasing data
- A written record of what was wiped and when, and a certificate of destruction on request
- For a Lenovo device, Lenovo's official trade-in and recycling programs
3.3 tonnes of CO₂e
100 laptops kept 5 years instead of 3
Yearly footprint per laptopAn estimate for a notebook: about 251 kg of CO₂e to make, ship and dispose of, and about 5 kg a year to run. CO₂e counts every greenhouse gas as the amount of carbon dioxide that would warm the planet as much. Your results depend on your models and how they are used.

A longer-life plan for your whole fleet.
Sustainability goals and IT budgets point the same way. Every device that lasts another year is one you do not have to buy, ship, set up or dispose of.
Assess
Every device is diagnosed and its warranty checked, with a written estimate, so you can see which are worth saving.
Repair & upgrade
Warranty and out-of-warranty repairs, plus memory and SSD upgrades that keep older machines useful.
Redeploy
Wiped, re-imaged and back in someone's hands in your organization.
Retire securely
Drives wiped to NIST 800-88, with a written record of what was wiped and when.
Before you replace it, let us take a look.
We will tell you honestly which devices are worth saving, and which are not.
