Service
E-Waste
Retiring IT equipment involves more than removing devices from a room. CTSL offers e-waste services covering equipment handling, data sanitisation or destruction options, asset and material recovery, and logistics. The discussion should establish what equipment and media are involved, how sensitive the data is, and what evidence your organisation needs. Methods, custody arrangements and documentation must be confirmed for the engagement.
Service areas
End-of-life equipment review
Discuss the inventory of retired IT equipment and storage media before selecting the handling and processing scope.
Data sanitisation and wiping
Consider data sanitisation or wiping options appropriate to the media, data sensitivity and methods agreed for the engagement.
Physical destruction options
Discuss physical destruction where required, confirming the selected method and the associated handling and documentation arrangements.
Asset and material recovery
Include asset recovery, recycling and material recovery options in the discussion of how retired equipment will be processed.
Collection and transport
Coordinate collection, transport and processing requirements around the equipment locations, access and responsibilities identified beforehand.
Custody and documentation
Agree chain-of-custody records and destruction or recycling documentation so the required evidence is defined before work begins.
How we can help
Equipment inventory
What devices and storage media are being retired, how many are involved, and where are they currently held?
Data sensitivity
What information might remain on the equipment, and which media or handling restrictions need particular attention?
Collection and custody
Who can release the assets, what collection access is available, and what chain-of-custody evidence is required?
Methods and records
Which sanitisation, physical destruction or recovery options should be considered, and what documentation must accompany the work?
Planning your project

Review assets and data
Provide an equipment inventory and identify media, sensitive information and handling restrictions.
02
Agree methods and logistics
Confirm sanitisation or destruction options, collection, transport and processing responsibilities.
03
Define the evidence
Agree custody records and destruction or recycling documentation without assuming a certification or universal compliance claim.
