Industry experts recommend that you be very careful when selecting your IT asset disposal provider. They suggest looking at your ITAD partner’s certifications as part of the vetting process.

IT Asset Disposal Process
Your IT Asset Disposition checklist:
- We receive your Request for Service, and we prepare a proposal to send to you.
- After we receive your signed proposal acceptance, our logistic specialist contacts you to schedule a time for our data security team to be at your facility.
- Our team will contact you 30 minutes before the scheduled arrival time.
- Upon arrival, our team will inventory all IT assets that are expected to be disposed.
- After all IT assets are securely packaged and transported back to our Secure and Monitored Facility in Frederick, we will go through our complete inspection process searching for data on all equipment we receive.
- Following the removal of any data containing media the equipment then enters our recycling process.
- e-End will issue a Certificate of Certified Recycling and Certificate of Certified Data Destruction for your audit records.
- Are all IT asset tags and corporate identifying marks removed?
- Is all of the data on IT equipment being promptly identified and destroyed according to required standards?
- Are all proprietary mechanisms, proprietary circuitry and other specialized items being removed prior to IT asset disposal?
- Have all ITAR-controlled equipment and devices been identified and isolated?
- Is recycling IT equipment being performed by a vetted and certified e-cycler?
- Is data destruction of your IT asset being handled by an NAID AAA certified provider?
- Have the individuals handling your assets been subjected to security background check, drug screening and have had continued training in data security and e-Cycling?
- Whether it’s only several cell phones, or the decommissioning of an entire data center, e-End can handle all of your IT equipment disposition requirements.
Improper disposal of e-waste creates an environmental nightmare.
E-waste contains toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium, beryllium, hexavalent chromate plus other toxic materials. Contracting with a non-certified recycler, your equipment may end up being illegally shipped overseas or dumped in domestic landfills.
In 2017, all of that year’s end-of-life refrigerators, TVs, mobile phones, computers, monitors, e-toys and other products with a battery or electrical cord worldwide could fill a line of 40 ton trucks end-to-end on a highway straddling three quarters of the Equator. - From Solving the E-Waste Problem (StEP) consortium
