What types of IT assets does ITAD USA accept for secure disposition?
We accept a full range of IT assets for secure disposition, including laptops, desktops, servers, networking equipment, printers, storage devices, and other IT hardware. Through our sister company and certified recycling partners, we may also be able to accept non-IT electronics or equipment for recycling. If you’re unsure whether your assets qualify, just ask, and we’ll be happy to guide you.
What is ITAD, and how does the IT asset disposition process work at ITAD USA?
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is the secure and environmentally responsible process of retiring outdated or unused technology. At ITAD USA, our typical process is simple and transparent: you send us a list of your equipment, we provide a quote, and once approved, we schedule pickup or onsite services. However, this process can be adjusted to meet your business’s needs. Upon receiving your assets at our state-of-the-art facility, we process them in accordance with industry standards, issue certificates of data destruction or recycling, and finalize with invoicing. This entire process can also be reported directly to you via our client portal.
Can ITAD USA customize IT asset disposition services for enterprises, remote teams, or multi-location businesses?
Absolutely. We specialize in flexible, scalable ITAD solutions for businesses of all sizes and structures. Whether you’re managing a large enterprise, a fully remote team, or multiple office locations, we can tailor a plan that works for you.
To accommodate remote teams, we can ship laptop return boxes directly to remote employees during offboarding or hardware refresh cycles. No matter your footprint, we make secure IT disposition simple, seamless, and tailored to your organization’s needs.
Does ITAD USA charge for ITAD services or IT equipment pickups?
While there are service fees associated with logistics, data destruction, and compliance processes, many projects qualify for cost offsets through value recovery. In many/most cases, the residual value of your assets can reduce or even eliminate these costs. We aim always to be transparent about pricing and will help you explore all your options.
What determines the residual value of decommissioned IT assets?
The residual value of your IT equipment is primarily determined by current market trends and demand, often referred to as FMV (Fair Market Value). Generally, IT assets less than 4–5 years old are more likely to hold recoverable value. Devices older than that may still be recycled or repurposed, but typically will not generate recoverable revenue.
Can ITAD services help my business recover value from used or outdated equipment?
In many situations, we can help businesses recover value from equipment that’s still in demand on the secondary market. Devices that are newer, in good condition, and have retained market relevance may qualify for resale, generating value that offsets service costs. Our experts will evaluate your inventory to determine what value you can expect to recover.
Does ITAD USA provide verifiable certificates of data destruction for compliance and audit purposes?
Yes, we do. Data security and compliance are top priorities at ITAD USA. That’s why we provide verifiable certificates of data destruction for every qualifying asset, in alignment with industry-leading standards such as R2v3 and NIST800-88 standards. These certificates serve as critical documentation for internal audits and regulatory compliance.
Does ITAD USA provide full audit trails and chain of custody reports for every asset that is processed?
Once the asset enters our facility, it is fully tracked through our industry-leading online portal, which provides 24/7 access to audit trails, ESG reporting, chain of custody reports, and certification documents. From the moment the asset enters our facility to final disposition, you’ll have visibility into the entire process, helping you stay compliant and in control.
Is there a minimum quantity of IT equipment required for pickup?
No, we tailor our services to your needs. Whether you have a single device or an entire data center to decommission, we’ll tailor our ITAD services to match your scope, timeline, and budget. Our goal is to make secure, compliant disposition accessible to businesses of all sizes.
What is ITAD USA’s environmental policy and commitment to sustainable electronics recycling?
ITAD USA is deeply committed to environmental responsibility. As an R2v3-certified provider, we ensure that all e-waste is processed sustainably and in full compliance with environmental regulations. Each of our recycling partners is vetted, and we prioritize reuse and refurbishment whenever possible to meet our zero-landfill policy and support a more circular economy.
