IT asset disposal (ITAD) is the secure, documented process of retiring business IT equipment: collecting it, recording each asset, sanitising or destroying the data it holds, then reusing or recycling the hardware as WEEE. It goes beyond a standard electrical waste collection because data protection is part of the job. NationwideSkipHire.com helps organisations arrange ITAD through licensed suppliers in our network, subject to verified supplier coverage in your area.
IT enquiries are handled through Waste Cloud’s electrical waste site, WEEECollection.co.uk, or our quote form. You can also call 0333 121 1056.
What an ITAD service usually includes
A typical ITAD job involves secure collection, an audit of each item by serial number or asset tag, data sanitisation using recognised wiping methods or physical destruction, assessment for reuse or refurbishment, and recycling of the remaining equipment through authorised WEEE facilities. You should receive an asset report and, for data-bearing devices, evidence of how data was dealt with.
Choosing the right data option
Working drives can often be wiped and the equipment reused, while failed, end-of-life or highly sensitive media are usually shredded. Ask suppliers which methods and standards they follow and what certification they hold. For drives and media only, see secure data destruction.
Office moves and refreshes
ITAD often forms part of an office clearance, relocation or technology refresh. Non-data electricals can be added through a WEEE collection, and multi-site organisations can coordinate collections through one point of contact; see multi-site commercial.

IT Asset Disposal – your questions answered
Can’t see your question? Call 0333 121 1056 or send us a message.
What is the difference between ITAD and WEEE collection?
WEEE collection removes electrical waste for treatment. ITAD adds asset tracking, data sanitisation or destruction and reporting.
Will I receive a certificate?
Suppliers typically provide an asset report and a certificate of destruction or data erasure for data-bearing items. Confirm the documents when you book.
Can equipment be reused?
Where it is in working order and data has been securely wiped, reuse or refurbishment is often possible.
Do you handle mobile phones?
Yes, subject to supplier capability. Phones should be signed out of accounts and remote-management services first.
