IT equipment disposal for business.
Secure, certified disposal and recycling for retired business IT: the data destroyed, the value recovered, and the e-waste handled to R2v3.
What is IT equipment disposal?
IT equipment disposal is the secure, end-of-life handling of a business's retired IT hardware: destroying the data, reselling what still has value, and recycling the rest under a documented chain of custody. For a business it is a managed service with a scheduled pickup, a certificate of destruction per serial number, and R2v3 recycling, not a consumer drop-off.

Data is always destroyed first. See data destruction and hard drive destruction. Value comes back through IT asset recovery.
Five steps, one chain of custody.
Scheduled pickup from your sites, no employee drop-off, no consumer queue.
NIST 800-88 wipe or shred, with a certificate of destruction per serial number.
Resell what still has value; share the buyback back to you.
Responsibly recycle the rest to R2v3, with downstream tracking.
Serial-level chain of custody and ESG metrics in your client portal.
Why a business can't just recycle at the big-box store.
A retail drop-off makes no promise about your data. A business needs a certificate of destruction, a serial-level chain of custody, and R2v3 downstream tracking — the evidence a security questionnaire and an auditor will ask for. Here's the difference, side by side:
| CONSUMER DROP-OFF | BUSINESS DISPOSAL (CTS) | |
|---|---|---|
| Data destruction | No guarantee — drives may be resold or dumped intact | NIST 800-88 wipe or shred, certified |
| Proof | None | Certificate of destruction per serial number |
| Chain of custody | None | Serial-level, pickup to disposition |
| Value recovery | You get nothing back | Buyback share returned to you |
| Logistics | You haul it to a drop-off | Scheduled pickup from your sites |
| Reporting | None | Chain-of-custody + ESG metrics in a portal |
That's the difference between consumer recycling and business electronics recycling done as a managed service. Pricing is a net of the recovered value.
