My Department contracts a reputable firm for the disposal of old IT equipment. This firm collects the equipment, removes the data from the hard drives and then physically destroys the equipment. The firm supplies my Department with confirmation of the asset destroyed, serial tags for the PCs and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) certificates of destruction.
