Certified Product Destruction FAQ's

What is IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)?

IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) refers to the process of safely and securely managing and disposing of old or unused electronic equipment, such as computers, servers, and mobile devices. This process includes data destruction, recycling, and ensuring compliance with environmental and data security regulations.

How do you ensure data security during the IT asset disposal process?

At ITAD Certified, we prioritize data security. All devices undergo certified data destruction, using methods like degaussing, wiping, or physical destruction. We provide a certificate of data destruction for your records, ensuring that all sensitive data is permanently erased before the asset is recycled or repurposed.

What happens to my old equipment after it’s disposed of?

Once your equipment is securely wiped of data, we follow environmentally responsible practices by recycling, reselling, or donating it where applicable. Any materials that cannot be reused are properly disposed of according to environmental guidelines, ensuring minimal impact on the planet.

Is your ITAD process environmentally friendly?

Yes! ITAD Certified is committed to sustainability. We follow certified e-waste recycling procedures and adhere to local and international environmental standards, including R2 (Responsible Recycling) and e-Stewards certifications. This ensures that your IT assets are disposed of in a way that minimizes environmental impact.

How do I know that my data has been destroyed securely?

We provide a Data Destruction Certificate after each job, which outlines the destruction method used and confirms that all sensitive data has been wiped or physically destroyed. We also offer video or photographic documentation upon request for additional peace of mind.
