How it works

One accountable process from pickup to final report

Slate Peak manages retired technology as a controlled data-security and asset-recovery project—not simply as electronics recycling. Every step is planned, tracked, and documented.

Plan & Pickup

We define the project before any equipment moves, then create a documented transfer of custody at pickup.

Scope the projectWe review locations, asset types, estimated quantities, access, timing, data-security rules, resale eligibility, and required reporting.

Build the manifestA unique project and pickup record connects the customer, site, shipment, pallet or container, authorized contacts, and handling instructions.

Transfer custodyAssets are securely loaded, counted, signed over, and transported by Slate Peak or an approved carrier using the agreed chain-of-custody controls.

Receive & reconcileEach asset receives a Slate Peak tracking ID linked to its manufacturer, model, serial number, customer, project, and container.

Project outputPickup receipt, manifest & custody record

Data Sanitization

Data-bearing devices are identified, controlled, and processed according to customer-approved media rules.

Identify every driveDevice and media serial numbers are linked so the sanitization result follows the correct asset throughout processing.

Sanitize or destroyMedia is securely erased using an appropriate Clear or Purge method aligned with NIST SP 800-88, or physically destroyed when required. Onsite or witnessed processing can be planned for customer-specific needs.

Control exceptionsFailed, locked, damaged, or unrecognized media is quarantined for retry, escalation, or approved destruction—never silently passed downstream.

Verify & documentMethod, result, asset and media identifiers, exceptions, and final outcome are retained for audit-ready customer reporting.

Project outputSanitization or destruction records

Recovery & Recycling

After data risk is resolved, we pursue the highest responsible outcome for each asset and document where it went.

Test, grade & valueReusable equipment is evaluated by configuration, function, cosmetic condition, market demand, and expected recovery cost.

Recover useful valueQualified assets may be reused, refurbished, remarketed, or harvested for parts under the ownership and value terms agreed for the project.

Recycle responsiblyNon-recoverable equipment and materials are routed to qualified downstream processors appropriate to the material and required disposition.

Close the loopInventory reconciliation, final disposition, environmental records, and any agreed service offset or revenue settlement are delivered together.

Recycling

Reporting

What is IT asset disposition?

IT asset disposition, or ITAD, is the secure process of collecting, tracking, sanitizing, recovering value from, and responsibly recycling retired business technology - keeping technology out of landfills.

What types of equipment do you accept?

We handle common business technology including computers, laptops, servers, storage devices, networking equipment, health and medical equipment, research & lab equipment, monitors, and related electronics.

Do you work with businesses of every size?

Yes. Project requirements vary, but we can evaluate anything from a focused office refresh to multi-location or data-center equipment retirement.

How do we get started?

Send us an approximate device count, equipment types, locations, timing, and data-security needs. We will review the project and outline the next steps.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing depends on equipment volume, locations, logistics, labor, data-destruction requirements, reporting, and the condition and recoverable value of the assets.

How do you protect our data?

Data-bearing assets remain under documented custody and receive controlled sanitization or destruction based on the project requirements and condition of the media.

What data-destruction methods are available?

Options can include verified software sanitization, degaussing where appropriate, and physical destruction for media that cannot or should not be reused.

Will we receive proof of sanitization?

Project reporting can document the asset, serial number, processing result, and final disposition, including recorded data-sanitization outcomes.

Can drives be physically destroyed?

Yes. Physical destruction can be specified for failed media, high-security projects, or equipment that is not suitable for reuse.

Do you offer onsite data destruction?

Onsite requirements can be evaluated during project planning. The recommended method depends on asset volume, security requirements, location, and available equipment.

How is equipment transported securely?

Each project uses a documented pickup plan with identified personnel, equipment counts, controlled loading, and recorded transfer of custody.

Can you coordinate pickups outside your local area?

Yes. Depending on the project, we can coordinate approved transportation options and establish custody requirements before equipment moves.

How should we prepare assets for pickup?

We will provide project-specific instructions covering inventory, staging, cables and accessories, palletization or containers, access, and the authorized pickup contact.

What happens to equipment that still has value?

Reusable equipment can be tested, graded, prepared for remarketing, or otherwise processed according to the customer agreement and project requirements.

Can recovered value offset service costs?

When appropriate, recoverable value may be handled through an agreed service offset, purchase, revenue share, or standard disposition arrangement.

How do you determine an asset’s condition?

Assets can be identified, inspected, tested, and graded using documented criteria appropriate to the equipment type and project scope.

Can we choose how recoverable value is handled?

Yes. Ownership, service fees, asset value, and disposition terms should be agreed before processing begins so expectations are clear.

What happens to equipment that cannot be reused?

Non-reusable equipment is directed to qualified downstream recyclers for responsible material recovery and disposition.

Do you prioritize reuse over recycling?

Yes. When security, condition, and customer requirements allow, extending useful equipment life is generally preferable to immediate material recycling.

How do you manage downstream recyclers?

Downstream partners are selected and documented based on the services they perform, the materials they receive, and project-specific requirements.

Can you document final recycling disposition?

Final reporting can identify the processing path and disposition outcome for equipment handled under the project.

What information can appear in our asset report?

Reporting may include manufacturer, model, serial number, assigned asset ID, data-bearing media, processing result, and final disposition.

Can reporting be customized?

Yes. Required fields, file format, project references, location details, and other customer reporting needs can be defined during planning.

Will each asset have a unique tracking identifier?

Assets can receive a unique Slate Peak tracking ID in addition to their manufacturer serial number, supporting custody and processing records.

When will final reports be delivered?

Reporting timing depends on project size, testing, sanitization, recovery, and downstream processing. Expected timing is established during project planning.
