The Process

How IT Asset Disposition Works

A transparent, step-by-step process designed to maximize security, compliance, and value recovery for your organization.

The Complete ITAD Process

Seven steps to secure, compliant IT asset disposition with maximum value recovery.

Step 01

Asset Inventory

We begin with a comprehensive inventory of all IT assets, including serial numbers, model information, and initial condition assessment.

  • On-site or remote inventory options
  • Asset tagging and documentation
  • Preliminary valuation estimates
  • Custom spreadsheet integration
Step 02

Pickup & Chain of Custody

Professional, secure transportation with complete chain-of-custody documentation from the moment we take possession.

  • Scheduled pickup within 24-48 hours
  • Secure transport containers
  • Digital chain-of-custody tracking
  • Real-time status updates
Step 03

Secure Data Destruction

NIST 800-88 aligned data sanitization with multiple methods available based on your security requirements.

  • Software-based data wiping
  • Physical shredding available
  • Degaussing for magnetic media
  • Video documentation option
Step 04

Testing & Grading

Every device undergoes comprehensive functional testing and receives a condition grade for accurate valuation.

  • Full hardware diagnostics
  • Cosmetic condition grading
  • Component-level testing
  • Quality documentation
Step 05

Refurbishment

Viable devices are professionally refurbished to maximize resale value and extend their useful lifecycle.

  • Cleaning and repair
  • Component upgrades if valuable
  • Operating system installation
  • Quality assurance checks
Step 06

Resale / Recycling

Refurbished devices are sold through approved channels while end-of-life equipment is responsibly recycled.

  • Enterprise resale channels
  • Fair market pricing
  • R2-aligned recycling
  • Zero landfill commitment
Step 07

Client Reporting + Payment

Comprehensive reporting including certificates of destruction, asset disposition reports, and revenue distribution.
