Frequently Asked Questions About ITAD Services
What is IT asset disposition (ITAD)?
IT asset disposition (ITAD) is the secure, documented process for retiring an organization’s technology. Green Century can inventory and track assets, protect or destroy data, evaluate equipment for reuse or remarketing, and responsibly recycle material that cannot be reused.
How does Green Century protect data during ITAD?
What business electronics and IT equipment do you accept?
Green Century accepts many business electronics, including computers, laptops, servers, hard drives and other storage devices, mobile phones, tablets, networking equipment, office electronics, and related e-waste. Confirm unusual, hazardous, or specialized equipment with our team before pickup so handling requirements can be included in your quote.
How much do ITAD and business electronics recycling services cost?
Pricing depends on the equipment inventory, volume, service locations, site access, transportation, data-destruction method, reporting, and any special handling. Green Century provides a project-specific quote; business ITAD and pickup services should not be assumed to be free.
How should our organization prepare for an electronics pickup?
Stage equipment in an accessible area, clear hallways and loading paths, and group similar items together. Separate computers, servers, hard drives, and other data-bearing devices; identify assets requiring certified destruction; and keep loose batteries, media, ink, and toner separate. Tell us about stairs, elevators, loading docks, or special handling before service.
What happens to equipment after pickup?
After pickup, equipment is received and tracked, data-bearing assets follow the selected destruction or wiping process, and reusable equipment may be evaluated for refurbishment or remarketing. Assets that cannot be reused are processed for responsible material recovery through controlled downstream channels. Certificates of Destruction and serialized reports are available for the agreed service scope.
