IT assets require a dedicated disposal workflow
Computers, laptops, servers, storage arrays, switches, routers and media can hold data, credentials, controlled components and internal records. Collection should therefore begin by defining the inventory, the location, the volume and the documentation requirements.
Materials we handle
- Computers, laptops, thin clients and workstations;
- Monitors, peripherals, power supplies, cables and accessories;
- Servers, storage arrays, racks and data centre equipment;
- Switches, routers, telephony and network infrastructure;
- HDDs, SSDs, tapes and other storage media;
- Printers, multifunction devices and corporate electronic equipment.
How requests are assessed
- Scope: materials, quantities, location and access restrictions.
- Data: presence of storage media and any need for sanitisation or physical destruction.
- Logistics: packaging, removal, handling and the operational window.
- Records: inventory, chain of custody and documents consistent with the contracted service.
Who this service is for
Businesses, industrial sites, hospitals, schools, residential complexes, public bodies, data centres and institutions with decommissioned assets, infrastructure changes or a recurring flow of electronic equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Is collection confirmed as soon as a request is sent?
No. Each request starts a technical and logistical feasibility assessment. Our team confirms the conditions, timescales and scope before the service goes ahead.
Can equipment be listed by asset tag or serial number?
Any inventory requirement should be stated in the request. The format of the record depends on the approved scope and the service performed.
Is equipment containing data handled separately?
Yes, when this forms part of the agreed scope. Tell us the media types and security requirements involved so that the appropriate workflow can be defined.
