What's Included

Every Stage of Device Retirement, Under One Managed Program

Greentec's ITAD service covers the full lifecycle of end-of-life equipment, from initial asset inventory through certified data destruction, compliant recycling, and the documentation organizations need to satisfy regulators, auditors, and internal compliance requirements. Whether the engagement is a scheduled business pickup, a public drop-off, or a full multi-site program, every device moves through the same certified process.

Full Asset Inventory

Every item is catalogued by make, model, serial number, diagnostics result, and asset tag before it moves. The inventory is the foundation of the chain-of-custody record and the audit trail that follows.

Certified Data Destruction

Data-bearing devices receive certified erasure to NIST 800-88 standards or industrial physical shredding, depending on device condition and organizational security requirements. A Certificate of Data Erasure or Destruction is issued per device, tied to its serial number.

Value Recovery

Equipment with remaining market value is tested, refurbished, and remarketed. Recovered value is returned directly to the organization, turning a compliance cost into a measurable financial offset.

Secure Logistics and Chain of Custody

Security-vetted Greentec technicians handle collection from your site using sealed, tamper-evident containers and GPS-tracked transport. Documented handoffs are maintained at every stage from pickup to final processing.

R2v3 Certified Recycling

Equipment that cannot be remarketed is processed through Greentec's R2v3 certified recycling stream. Hazardous materials are segregated, critical minerals are recovered, and residual commodities are recycled, with full material-weight reporting.

Compliance Documentation and ESG Reporting

Each completed program is closed with a full audit report, device-level certificates, recycling weights, CO2e avoidance data, and landfill diversion figures, structured for internal compliance records, regulatory submissions, and ESG disclosures.

The Risk Context

Retired Devices Without Documentation Are a Liability

Retired devices still carry data, and liability. Good intentions are not evidence. A documented ITAD program provides defensible proof of secure destruction.
