IT Asset Disposal & Lifecycle Services

Ace IT Relocation provides a secure, documented pathway to retire end-of-life hardware without risking data loss or non-compliance. Security-cleared engineers, GPS-tracked vehicles, and asset tracking preserve chain-of-custody from collection to final outcome, with clear reporting and custody transfer at pick-up.

We use certified erasure tools aligned with NCSC  standards to make data forensically unrecoverable. Each device receives a tamper-proof certificate, giving you the evidence required for GDPR  and audit compliance.

Collection

Security-cleared engineers collect your assets in GPS-tracked vehicles, providing a signed chain-of-custody on handover.

Data Wiping

Drives and devices undergo certified erasure using industry-approved software, ensuring data is permanently unrecoverable.

Processing

Equipment is catalogued, graded, and tested. Full specifications are recorded to maintain an auditable asset trail.

Refurbishment

Where suitable, devices are cleaned (including UV), stress-tested, and prepared for reuse or resale to recover value.

Lifecycle

End-of-life hardware is broken down responsibly, with materials recycled in line with WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations.

Collections are managed by security/DBS-checked engineers using dedicated, air-ride, GPS-tracked vehicles. Each collection generates a signed work order that formally transfers legal responsibility to Ace IT Relocation. From there, our system tracks every asset through to final disposition, giving you a complete audit trail that is dependable and verifiable.

We handle a wide range of assets, including servers, storage arrays, networking hardware, desktops, laptops, mobiles, and peripherals. Where equipment condition allows, devices are refurbished, cleaned, and remarketed, helping recover value through rebates or buy-backs. This reduces overall project costs while supporting sustainability goals.

Data Wiping & Destruction

Onsite Certified Data Erasure

From £650+ £12 per drive
Individual drive certificates, serial-linked logs and any exceptions flagged and crushed/shredded. Erasure using Blancco or Global EMEA to NIST, HMG IA, and DoD 5220.22-M standards.

Offsite Certified Data Erasure

From £400+ £12 per drive
Offsite erasure: We can collect for an additional cost or you can send us your equipment. Individual drive certificates, serial-linked logs and any exceptions flagged and crushed/shredded. Erasure using Blancco or Global EMEA to NIST, HMG IA, and DoD 5220.22-M standards.

Onsite Data Destruction

From £650+ £8 per drive
On-Site Physical Destruction. Eliminate data without leaving site. When erasure isn’t viable: degauss, shred, or crush using ADISA -approved equipment; recorded by serial and timestamp.

Offsite Data Destruction

“WipeDrive meets or exceeds all major national and international regulatory and technical standards, including NCSC, GDPR, NIST, and US Department of Defense requirements. Its certifications provide assurance that data is permanently erased to a forensically unrecoverable level, giving organisations confidence that they remain compliant with both UK and global regulations.”

Processing Plan
At every stage of the asset lifecycle, we prioritise reuse and recovery over destruction. Equipment collected for disposal is automatically assessed for reuse, refurbishment, or component harvesting before any recycling occurs.
Raw Material Savings
On average each tonne of hardware successfully redeployed avoids roughly 15 tonnes of raw material extraction — aluminium, copper, plastics, and rare earth metals that would otherwise require new mining.
Material Sorting
All non-reusable materials are separated into metal, plastic, PCB (printed circuit board), and glass fractions for certified recovery. Transport is one of the largest contributors to emissions in IT relocation.
Environment Act
We operate under the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Environmental Protection Acts, using only Environment Agency-licensed recycling partners.
What We Do
We mitigate this through route optimisation, load consolidation, and low-emission vehicle selection. Our air-ride fleet includes Euro 6-compliant vans and trucks.
