Corporate IT disposal
for London businesses
Corporate IT disposal — also known as IT asset disposal (ITAD) — is the managed process of decommissioning end-of-life IT equipment in a way that is both secure and environmentally responsible. For UK businesses, this means certified data destruction, WEEE-compliant recycling, and full documentation for GDPR compliance.
Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, businesses have a legal obligation to ensure personal data is permanently destroyed when IT assets are decommissioned. Simply deleting files or reformatting a drive does not constitute secure data destruction — data can still be recovered using freely available tools. Coreitech uses certified erasure software and physical shredding to ensure data is 100% irretrievable.
Coreitech's IT asset disposal service covers all corporate IT equipment: PCs, laptops, servers, networking equipment, storage, mobile devices, and legacy media. We collect from London and UK-wide, process all assets in compliance with NCSC and NIST standards, and provide a full certificate of destruction for every asset.
ITAD is integrated into every IT relocation project Coreitech manages — ensuring nothing is left behind at old premises and all disposal is fully documented.

Frequently asked questions about
IT asset disposal & corporate IT disposal
Q.What is IT asset disposal (ITAD)?
IT asset disposal (ITAD) is the process of securely and responsibly decommissioning end-of-life IT equipment. This includes certified data erasure or physical destruction of storage media, environmentally compliant recycling or resale of hardware, and the provision of audit documentation proving that data has been destroyed in line with UK GDPR and NCSC standards. Professional ITAD protects businesses from data breaches and regulatory penalties associated with improper disposal of IT equipment.
Q.What is corporate IT disposal?
Corporate IT disposal refers to the managed decommissioning of IT assets across an organisation — covering everything from end-user devices (laptops, desktops, monitors) to server infrastructure, networking equipment, and legacy media. Unlike consumer electronics recycling, corporate IT disposal requires certified data destruction, full chain-of-custody documentation, and compliance with UK GDPR, WEEE Regulations, and NCSC data handling standards. Coreitech provides a fully managed corporate IT disposal service for London and UK businesses.
Q.How is data destroyed during IT asset disposal?
Coreitech uses two primary methods of data destruction depending on the asset type and condition. First, certified software erasure — using NCSC-approved tools that overwrite all data to DoD or HMG IA Standard No.5 specification, with a certificate of erasure generated for each drive. Second, physical destruction — for drives that cannot be securely erased (damaged, encrypted, or SSD-based), we use industrial shredders to physically destroy the media. Certificates of destruction are provided for all physically destroyed assets.
Q.Do you provide certificates of data destruction?
Yes. Coreitech provides formal certificates of data destruction (also called certificates of erasure) for every asset we process. These documents confirm the asset serial number, the destruction method used, the date of destruction, and the operative responsible. These certificates are essential for GDPR compliance audits, insurance purposes, and demonstrating due diligence in the event of a regulatory investigation.
Q.Is IT asset disposal required under GDPR?
Yes. Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, organisations have a legal obligation to ensure that personal data is permanently destroyed when IT assets are decommissioned. Failure to properly dispose of devices containing personal data — even if the device is then recycled or resold — constitutes a potential data breach and can result in ICO investigation, fines, and reputational damage. Coreitech's ITAD service provides the documented evidence of destruction required for GDPR compliance.
Q.Do you collect IT equipment for disposal?
Yes. Coreitech provides a collection service for IT asset disposal across London and the UK. Our team will arrange a collection time, arrive with appropriate packaging and vehicles, and transport all equipment securely to our processing facility. For large volumes or data centre decommissioning, we also offer on-site processing where assets are logged and destroyed on-location before transport.
Q.What types of IT equipment do you dispose of?
Coreitech disposes of the full range of corporate IT assets including: desktop PCs and workstations, laptops and MacBooks, servers and rack-mounted infrastructure, network switches, routers and firewalls, storage arrays and NAS devices, monitors and peripherals, printers and MFPs, mobile phones and tablets, UPS units, and legacy media including LTO tape, DLT, DAT, and optical discs.
Q.How much does IT asset disposal cost in London?
IT asset disposal costs vary based on volume, asset type, and the destruction standard required. For small office clearances (under 20 assets), collection and erasure typically costs £200–£600. Data centre decommissioning is scoped individually. In many cases where assets retain residual value, Coreitech can offset disposal costs through responsible resale proceeds.
