End-of-life company laptops

Corporate laptop recycling in Bangalore

Retiring a batch of company laptops? Before anything is recycled, check what can be reused. We buy laptops, desktops, monitors, servers, networking equipment and other IT equipment from companies, refurbish the laptops that can have a second life, and every drive is wiped before a laptop is resold, refurbished or recycled.

Data comes first: drives are sanitised to NIST SP 800-88, and you receive a certificate of data destruction for the lot.

Reuse first, then recycle

A laptop that still works, or can be repaired economically, is worth more reused than scrapped: it is graded, wiped and refurbished for resale.

Laptops that cannot be reused are recycled after their drives are wiped. List any non-working units in your asset list with their fault; how they are handled and priced is confirmed in your quote.

Clear, Purge or Destroy: what NIST SP 800-88 means

NIST Special Publication 800-88 sets out three levels of media sanitisation:

  • Clear: overwriting user data with standard commands, so it cannot be recovered with ordinary tools.
  • Purge: methods such as a drive's built-in secure erase or a cryptographic erase, which make recovery infeasible even with laboratory techniques.
  • Destroy: physically destroying the media, for example by shredding or disintegrating it.

What the certificate records for each laptop

The right method depends on the drive: hard disks and SSDs are handled differently, and a drive that fails to wipe is marked for destruction. One certificate covers the lot, with a row for every laptop:

  • Make and model
  • Device serial number
  • Storage type and storage serial number
  • Wipe method (NIST SP 800-88)
  • Tool and version used
  • Result of the wipe

Questions about recycling company laptops

Do you take laptops that no longer work?

List them in your asset list with their fault. Every drive is wiped, or marked for destruction if it cannot be wiped, before a laptop leaves for recycling; how non-working units are handled and priced is confirmed in your quote.

Is there a certificate for recycled laptops?

Yes. One certificate of data destruction covers the lot and lists each laptop by make, model and serial number, with the storage serial, the method, the tool and the result.

Do you take desktops, monitors or servers as well?

Yes. We buy laptops, desktops, monitors, servers, networking equipment and other IT equipment from companies. List them in the same asset list as the laptops.
