Responsible reuse and recycling routes for redundant business IT.
Before You Recycle It.
See What It’s Still Worth.
IT asset recovery helps businesses get more from redundant technology by identifying equipment that may still have useful life, resale potential or another practical route before recycling.
From laptops and desktops to servers, networking equipment and other business IT, suitable assets can be considered for reuse, recovery or redeployment as part of a wider disposal project.
Redundant Doesn’t Always
Mean Worthless.
Some business IT still has value even when it is no longer needed by your organisation.
Equipment may be suitable for internal reuse, resale, redistribution or another recovery route before recycling becomes necessary. Asset recovery helps businesses avoid treating useful technology as waste too early.
DISCUSS YOUR EQUIPMENT →Find Useful Assets
Establish which equipment may still have practical or residual value.
Keep Equipment Working
Suitable assets may be reused, redeployed or moved into another practical route.
Consider Remaining Value
Where appropriate, assets may still have resale or recovery potential.
Recycle What Is Left
Equipment that is no longer suitable for use can move into appropriate recycling routes.
More Than One Way
to Handle Redundant IT.
The most suitable route depends on the condition, age, specification, data requirements and remaining usefulness of the equipment.
Internal Reuse
Equipment may still be suitable for another department, location or internal purpose.
Further Use
Suitable assets can be considered for continued use rather than immediate recycling.
Asset Value
Some equipment may retain residual value depending on condition and specification.
Material Recovery
Equipment that has reached the end of its useful life can move into recycling routes.
From Everyday Devices
to Larger IT Assets.
Asset recovery can apply across a wide range of redundant business technology.
Suitability for reuse or recovery will vary depending on the condition, age and specification of the equipment.
Reusing the Hardware?
Deal With the Data First.
Reusable equipment may still contain business or organisational information.
Where assets are being considered for further use, data erasure may form part of the process before the equipment moves into its next route.
SECURE DATA ERASURE →Establish which equipment may still contain stored business information.
Data erasure can support continued use of equipment that still has useful life.
Once data requirements have been addressed, suitable equipment can move into reuse or recovery.
From Redundant Asset
to the Right Next Step.
Tell Us What You Have
Outline the equipment, quantities, location and any known condition information.
Arrange the Collection
We plan the collection around your site, project size and access requirements.
Consider the Best Route
Suitable equipment can be considered for reuse, recovery or another onward route.
Reuse or Recycle
Assets can then move into reuse, recovery or recycling depending on suitability.
Especially Useful During
Larger Technology Changes.
Asset recovery is particularly relevant when businesses are replacing or removing significant quantities of IT.
Larger projects often create a mix of equipment in different conditions, making it useful to separate reusable assets from equipment that has reached end of life.
Assess redundant equipment following a business-wide technology upgrade.
Consider whether equipment that is not moving still has further value.
Separate reusable assets from equipment requiring final disposal.
Manage larger volumes of redundant IT across multiple locations.
Recovery Works Best
When It’s Planned Early.
Asset recovery can form part of a wider IT asset disposal process.
Combining collection, asset records, data handling, reuse and recycling can help create a clearer route for redundant business technology.

Questions About
IT Asset Recovery?
Some common questions about reuse, equipment value, data handling and recycling.
01 What is IT asset recovery? +
IT asset recovery is the process of identifying whether redundant business technology may still have useful life, practical value or another route before recycling.
02 What types of equipment may be suitable for reuse? +
Laptops, desktops, monitors, servers, networking equipment and other business IT may be considered depending on age, condition and specification.
03 Does all redundant IT have resale value? +
No. Residual value depends on the equipment, condition, age and specification, so not every asset will be suitable for recovery.
04 What happens to data on reusable devices? +
Data requirements should be addressed before equipment moves into reuse or recovery. Where suitable, data erasure may form part of the process.
05 What happens if equipment cannot be reused? +
Equipment that has reached the end of its useful life can move into an appropriate recycling route.
06 Can asset recovery be part of a larger IT disposal project? +
Yes. Asset recovery can be combined with IT collections, data handling, asset records and recycling as part of a wider ITAD project.
Don’t Assume It
Needs Recycling.
Tell us what equipment you have, where it is and roughly how much needs removing. We can help you consider the most suitable next route.
Removing the Device
Doesn’t Remove the Data.
Old IT equipment can still contain business information long after it has stopped being used.
Laptops, computers, servers, hard drives, SSDs and other storage devices may retain files, user information, internal documents and other sensitive data. That means the data needs to be considered alongside the physical equipment when assets are being disposed of.
DISCUSS YOUR DATA REQUIREMENTS →Data Can Remain on Old Devices
Removing equipment from daily use does not necessarily mean the information stored on it has gone.
Storage Media Needs Its Own Plan
Hard drives, SSDs and other storage devices may need destruction or erasure depending on the intended onward route.
Deal With Data Before the Final Route
Data handling should be considered before equipment is reused, recovered, recycled or otherwise processed.
Build It Into the Collection
Data requirements can be planned alongside the collection of redundant business IT rather than treated as an afterthought.
Where Could Your
Business Data Be?
Sensitive information can remain across a wide range of workplace technology.
Identifying which assets may contain stored information is an important part of planning a secure IT disposal project.
From Your Workplace
to the Final Data Route.
Tell Us What You Have
Let us know the equipment, quantity, location and any specific data handling requirements.
Arrange the Collection
We plan the collection around your workplace, access and project requirements.
Destroy or Erase
Data-bearing equipment follows the agreed destruction or erasure route.
Move to the Next Route
Equipment can then move towards reuse, asset recovery or recycling as appropriate.
Data Is Only One Part
of IT Disposal.
Secure data destruction can form part of a wider IT asset disposal project.
If your organisation is replacing a large quantity of IT, closing a site, relocating or clearing multiple workplaces, we can combine data handling with equipment collection, asset records, reuse and recycling.

Know What Happened
After Collection.
Depending on the service and project requirements, supporting records can help provide greater visibility over how equipment and data have been handled.
Certificates of Destruction
Supporting documentation where data destruction forms part of the agreed service.
Chain of Custody
Greater visibility over the movement of equipment through the disposal process.
Data Protection
Consider data protection requirements when redundant equipment leaves your organisation.
Questions About
Destroying Business Data?
Some common questions about data-bearing IT equipment, destruction, erasure and business collections.
01 What equipment can contain sensitive data? +
Computers, laptops, servers, hard drives, SSDs and other storage devices may all contain business or organisational information.
02 What is the difference between destruction and erasure? +
Physical destruction makes the storage media unsuitable for further use, while data erasure may allow suitable hardware to remain in use afterwards.
03 Can data destruction be included with an IT collection? +
Yes. Data handling requirements can be incorporated into a wider business IT collection or IT asset disposal project.
04 Can you handle large quantities of hard drives? +
Projects can be planned around anything from smaller office clear-outs to larger quantities of redundant data-bearing equipment.
05 Can reusable equipment still have its data removed? +
Where suitable, data erasure may form part of a reuse or asset recovery route.
06 Do you collect from multiple business locations? +
Yes. Projects can be arranged around individual sites or multiple business locations across the UK.
