Reducing retirement risk starts with identifying which devices contain data and specifying how they must be processed. We agree on sanitization or destruction requirements, reuse restrictions, inventory scope, and documentation before collection.
We use NIST SP 800-88 clear or purge methods appropriate to the media and project. Devices that cannot be sanitized can be physically destroyed.
We prioritize suitable equipment for reuse and direct retired electronics to recycling. Tell us about batteries, large equipment, contamination, or other special handling needs before collection so we can confirm acceptance and scope.
An agreed processing plan and supporting records help your team track retired equipment, document disposition, and manage its disposal responsibilities.
We schedule commercial pickups with attention to equipment quantities, loading access, and site requirements. Multi-location projects can be coordinated under an agreed scope.
On-site serial recording is available by request for drives already removed from equipment. For installed drives, processing can include wiping compatible computers through Aiken or removing the media at our facility.
Specify the records your team needs before work begins: serialized equipment inventories, drive destruction or sanitization records, peripheral counts, and location-level reporting. Consolidated reporting and additional inventory work may incur fees.
Match these deliverables to your internal policies and contractual requirements. Our documentation records the agreed work; it does not replace your organization’s own compliance review.

Commercial collection and public drop-off provide routes for retired electronics. We assess reuse opportunities and recycling needs according to equipment condition and project requirements.

Select an appropriate data-processing method for your media and requirements. We provide sanitization or physical destruction with serialized documentation.

Coordinate collection, data processing, reuse, recycling, and reporting in one defined retirement project. Recovery value may offset costs when suitable equipment has resale demand.

Agree on equipment handling, data methods, reuse restrictions, and reporting before pickup. This helps your team make informed decisions and document completed work.
