RE-DEPLOY/INSTALL
Assets managed by Midwest can be re-deployed to the desired level of our customers. This can be in the form of a simple recall of assets being held by Midwest in an "as is", repaired, or refurbished condition. Or to the level of re-deploying complete systems that have been tested, and reconfigured to a specific site application. Midwest has the capability to manage complete installations of electronic equipment throughout the telecommunications industry.

RECLAIM/RECYCLE
Equipment that may have limited resale value or that is proprietary and marked for destruction may best serve our customers and the community by being reduced to its core components for recycling. Midwest Re-Logistics is a world class recycling facility that is utilized by Midwest Communication Products and Midwest Digital, as well as direct customers. Midwest Re-Logistics will separate, breakdown, and aggregate equipment deemed for processing into ferrous, non-ferrous, and plastic categories, and thanks to our enormous volume of electronic "scrap", we are then able to obtain the best possible price from refiners and smelters. Many electronic devices contain hazardous materials that are strictly monitored by the EPA, and proper handling is a must to eliminate an environmental nightmare and major liability to our customers. Midwest strictly follows all federal, state, and local EPA, DOT, and OSHA laws and regulations, and maintains a $10 million dollar protection liability insurance policy for customer assurance and protection.

RE-MARKET/RESALE
Midwest has an experienced sales staff that maximizes the return to our customers. Our extensive customer base provides the ability to move large volumes of equipment worldwide at market prices. Midwest can often find a "home" for equipment that has been considered obsolete and/or of no value. Midwest incorporates innovative selling programs that allow us to move a wide variety of products into the marketplace. Midwest will market and sell within the guidelines set forth by our suppliers.
