Education ITAD
Certified ITAD for K-12 boards and universities. Student data protected, compliance verified, recovered value returned. Secure destruction, chain-of-custody, audit-ready docs for every device across every campus.
Great service at all levels of contact. Very responsive and aligns with our board's green initiatives. Comfortably satisfies our need for data security and destruction services.

Thousands of devices leave classrooms every year. Most institutions handle it the same way: box up data-bearing devices with general e-waste, call someone, hope for the best.
Student data on drives never certified destroyed. No audit trail when trustees or auditors ask.
Devices sent to recyclers with no chain of custody. Sustainability claims with no verifiable numbers.
Retired devices stacked in unlocked rooms for months. No access control. Every unrestricted room is a student-data risk.
Greentec was built for education. Most ITAD vendors were not. Budget cycles.
Decentralized campuses. Ministry requirements. We designed around all of it.
HOW IT WORKS
A documented chain of custody for every device that ever touched patient data.
Pickups land on your schedule, so your staff keep teaching while every device leaves on a logged chain of custody.
Every device clears a NIST 800-88 wipe before resale, so student and staff data never travels with it.
Any drive that fails a wipe goes to physical destruction before resale, so no student record ever rides out on a working device.
Batteries, lamps, and dead hardware head to certified recyclers, so nothing from your schools reaches a landfill.
Resale value comes straight back to your budget, with diversion numbers ready for trustees and the ministry.
Never guess whether student data was destroyed.
End-to-end disposition for laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, desktops, servers, networking gear. Serialized tracking. Certified erasure or destruction. Certificates per load. Value recovery offsets program cost.
Pickups across boards with dozens of sites and multi-campus universities. Security-vetted technicians. Scheduled around your academic calendar.
Drives, SSDs, backup media, legacy systems. Onsite or offsite. Full chain-of-custody. Certificates structured for governance and audit.
Server rooms and data centres for universities, colleges, and larger boards. Secure extraction, transport, and certified destruction. Minimal disruption.
Non-refurbishable devices processed for maximum material recovery. Diversion and CO2e data for board reports and STARS submissions.
Batteries, chargers, cables, keyboards, lab electronics, lighting fixtures and bulbs. Integrated with every device pickup. Clear storage areas in one operation.
Different compliance rules, stakeholders, and reporting needs.
Select yours.
Budget cycles. Decentralized campuses. Ministry requirements. A program designed for how school boards actually operate.
When a Chromebook leaves your care, data must be gone. Certified, documented, defensible to a parent, trustee, or ministry official. Serialized tracking from pickup to final disposition.
June arrives. Thousands of devices return. IT already stretched. Greentec schedules pickups across all sites on your academic calendar. Your staff moves nothing.
OECM Platinum Partner. Certificates, chain-of-custody records, recycling data structured for trustees, superintendents, auditors. Board-ready. No reformatting.
Landfill diversion. Material recovery. CO2e data. Numbers your sustainability office can use in board reports, eco-club presentations, and parent communications.

30 years in business.Zero data breaches. Zero environmental violations. On record.
Ontario school boards and public institutions engage Greentec directly through OECM. No separate RFP. Greentec holds OECM's highest-tier partnership award, plus Supply Ontario vendor status.
Industry-leading certifications across data security, recycling, quality, and safety.
NAID AAA, R2v3, ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 9001, ISO 9001, Supply Ontario, Min. of Environment
Every technician is security-vetted and police background-checked. Required for schools, labs, and admin areas with sensitive data and a duty of care to students and staff.
Yes. Greentec runs business pickups with detailed asset audits, secure packing, GPS-tracked transport, sealed containers, and witnessed seal breaking, so chain of custody holds from each school site to the processing facility. Onsite data destruction is available where devices cannot leave the building unwiped. Ontario school boards and public institutions can engage Greentec directly through OECM, where Greentec holds Platinum Partner status across electronic device disposal, secure data destruction, and electronics recycling. That means no separate procurement process for each campus or site.
Greentec is NAID AAA Certified for data destruction, SERI R2v3 Certified for electronics refurbishment and recycling, and holds ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 9001 (quality), and ISO 45001 (health and safety) certifications. Its Ontario facility operates under Ministry of Environment Environmental Compliance Approval, Permit Number 6247-6VDJUA. Greentec is also an OECM Platinum Partner Supplier in three categories: electronic device disposal, secure data destruction, and electronics recycling. Each certification is independently audited, so the standards behind every certificate can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Yes, when devices have remaining market value. Remarketable devices are resold and the rebate value is passed back to you. Greentec states rebates can help offset or even fully cover service costs, with the outcome depending on the volume and condition of the equipment you retire. Devices that fail data wiping are shredded rather than resold, so resale value applies only to working, remarketable units. The quote process includes an assessment of value recovery opportunities before any device moves.
