Old hardware disposal

Is your outdated IT equipment ready for replacement? Then it's essential to dispose of it securely and responsibly. Reuzado helps organisations with the professional disposal of decommissioned hardware, from individual devices to complete office infrastructures. We make sure your equipment not only disappears from sight but is also processed properly in accordance with current regulations.

Whether it's old computers, servers, monitors or mobile devices, we collect the equipment, log it individually, erase all data, and process the hardware in a way that is both secure and environmentally conscious.

The old hardware disposal process

1. Registration and coordination

Let us know which equipment you want to dispose of. A detailed list is helpful but not required. Together we’ll determine the transport and processing needs.

2. Pickup by certified drivers

Our own team collects the equipment using secure transport. If needed, we provide sealed containers or bins for additional protection.

3. Intake and registration

Each device is carefully registered upon arrival and linked to a project number. If data carriers are present, they are immediately set aside for secure handling.

4. Data removal or destruction

Devices with storage are either wiped or physically destroyed. For each serial number, you receive an official certificate. Even defective hardware is processed securely.

5. Environmentally responsible processing

Any equipment that is still usable is prepared for reuse. Remaining parts are responsibly recycled. After completion, you receive a clear report summarising the results.

What types of hardware can we collect and process?

At Reuzado, you can safely dispose of nearly all types of business IT equipment, including:

  • Old laptops, desktops and thin clients
  • Servers, switches, racks and other network equipment
  • Monitors, keyboards and docking stations
  • Smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices

Also suitable for multi-site organisations

Do you operate across multiple locations or have a decentralised IT structure? Then structured coordination of old hardware disposal is key. Reuzado offers flexible solutions for organisations with multiple sites. We schedule individual pickups per location, log all assets separately, and combine everything into a central project file. Using our Circu-IT client portal, you can track each step, from collection to processing, all in one place. This gives you effortless control over your entire hardware flow, even when it's spread across the country.

Handling data carriers securely

Data security is not optional when disposing of IT equipment, it is essential. Devices with storage, such as hard drives, SSDs or internal flash modules, are always treated as potential risks. Upon arrival, they are immediately separated and stored in a secure area. We then perform certified data erasure using Blancco software or destroy the carriers physically using DIN 66399 H5 shredders. For every data carrier, you receive a certificate with serial number and destruction method. This ensures full GDPR compliance and airtight documentation for audits or internal policies.

Your old hardware as a source of new value

Disposal doesn’t have to mean waste. In fact, we assess each device for potential reuse. Functional hardware is refurbished and given a second life, while components like memory modules or power supplies are recovered when possible. This contributes directly to circular IT, reduces e-waste and lowers the environmental impact of new production. Devices or components that are no longer usable are dismantled and sent to certified processors who recover valuable raw materials, from precious metals to recycled plastics.
