What AnythingIT does

AnythingIT is a US-based IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and electronics recycling company founded in 1992 and headquartered in North Bergen, New Jersey. The company operates a vertically integrated platform covering the full end-of-life IT lifecycle: collection, grading, data destruction, remarketing into secondary markets (Europe, Latin America, and domestic), commodity recovery, and regulatory-compliant recycling. Its core customers are US federal/state/local government agencies (via a GSA Schedule held since 2002), Fortune 500 enterprises, and OEMs/equipment resellers including Samsung, ViewSonic, Fujitsu, HP, DRS Technologies, and GammaTech, for whom AnythingIT runs co-branded trade-in and recycling programs bundled with new product sales.

The business model combines fee-based recycling and data destruction services with transaction-based remarketing, where net recovery credits from resale are applied directly to customer invoices rather than paid out months later — the company's primary pricing differentiator versus auction-based competitors. Proprietary technology includes ValueIT, a real-time valuation index used for Fair Market Valuation offers, and AIT WipeDrive, a DoD/NIST 800-88-compliant SSD wiping procedure certified to NIAP EAL 2+. The company holds the most stringent industry certifications: e-Stewards, R2, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001:2015, NAID AAA, and was the first NJDEP Class D permit holder in Bergen County. Operations span 140,000+ square feet of processing capacity in New Jersey and Texas, supported by a Metro-Washington sales office for federal engagement.

Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct enterprise field sales (with federal, healthcare, and educational verticals), OEM/reseller channel partnerships (Samsung EnviroSync, ViewSonic Recycle+, Fujitsu, HP Exchange/Sale, DRS Re-ARMOR), and consumer/community events such as the Verizon Wireless Recycling Rallies. AnythingIT is publicly traded on OTCBB under ticker ANYI and is led by founder David Bernstein (CEO/President) with Gail L. Babitt as CFO and Vlad Stelmak as COO. The company also runs a US Veterans Technology Donation Program in partnership with Rock Our Vets and Work Vessels for Veterans, donating refurbished laptops to 200+ veterans as of 2011.

Revenue model

1. IT Asset Remarketing / Value Recovery: AnythingIT remarkets used IT equipment (computers, networking, telephony, office equipment) to secondary markets (European, Latin American, and domestic). Net recovery credits are applied directly against service invoices to lower customer costs — a key differentiator vs competitors who issue delayed credits. Equipment that cannot be remarketed is de-manufactured and materials are sold to commodity markets (precious metals to refiners; base metals, glass, plastics locally).
2. Recycling and Disposal Services: Fee-based regulatory-compliant e-waste recycling and disposal services. Programs include RecycleToday (immediate disposal) and RecycleTomorrow (advance budgeting tied to new equipment purchases). Pricing varies by volume and customer type. Free disposal for OEM program customers when buying select new products.
3. Data Destruction Services: NIST and DoD-compliant hard drive erasure, shredding, and physical destruction services. Includes on-site destruction, secure transportation with GPS tracking, and Certificates of Indemnification for each asset.
4. Trade-In Program Management: AnythingIT manages trade-in programs for OEMs (Samsung, ViewSonic, Fujitsu, HP) and enterprise clients, earning fees or margin on the resale of traded-in equipment while providing the OEM partner with an eco-friendly customer offering.
5. Logistics and Transportation Services: Global logistics services including onsite serial number scanning, packaging, secure transportation, and e-waste collection event management, provided as standalone or bundled with disposition services.
