Technology Donation Programme
Iron Mountain helps companies to donate IT assets to charitable organisations, such as Human-I-T in the USA and The Turing Trust in the UK, fostering positive social impact through responsible IT asset management.

Iron Mountain helps companies donate IT assets to charitable organisations, including Human-I-T in the USA and The Turing Trust in the UK, creating a positive social impact while responsibly managing IT assets.
How it works
Our comprehensive process ensures security, cleanliness, and compliance:
- Data sanitisation
Using NIST 800-88 standards, we fully sanitise data-bearing devices to remove all sensitive information. - Physical cleaning
Assets are cleaned, with asset tags removed as needed. - Logistics
Iron Mountain receives, scans, and verifies each item and sends an audit report and a certificate of sanitisation to the customer within 60 days. Assets are then packaged and shipped to our charitable partners.
Custom donation options
For donations to a customer-specific charity, pricing is available upon request.
This programme enables companies to contribute to the social aspect of their ESG/CSR goals by supporting organisations that benefit communities in need.
We can help maximise the impact of your donated IT equipment, as most items under 10 years old can be repurposed for organisations, including desktops, laptops, and projectors. We accept donations of computers and laptops capable of running Windows 10 or MacOS 12 Monterey or newer, ensuring compatibility with modern organisational needs.
