IT Asset Disposal & Data Erasure Services

We specialise in the secure, complete wiping and erasure of data from hard drives.

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.
