Secure E-Waste And IT Asset Disposition

Improper disposal of IT Assets puts sensitive information at risk and potential damage to the brand

Regardless of the size or industry of your company, you need a defined process and secure procedures for disposing of retired and non-working assets. Regulatory penalties, a damaged brand reputation and inadvertent disclosures could result from improper methods.

Iron Mountain^® Secure e-Waste and IT Asset Disposition (SITAD) services enable you to securely dispose of obsolete IT assets in an environmentally responsible manner and maximise your asset value recovery with industry-leading logistics and secure chain of custody processes.

What sets our ITAD services apart?

With most IT teams fully consumed by their “day jobs”—setting up new employees’ computers, managing network security, deploying and supporting applications, and maintaining an infrastructure—there’s almost no time left to focus on best practices for ITAD.

Inadequate attention dedicated to the proper disposition of IT assets leads to increased risks, including loss of control over confidential data, lack of compliance, and impacted financial performance.

Organizations place high value on operational efficiency and maximum return on tech investments. We get it; your company data is extremely valuable, and we don’t take it for granted.
