Who we work with / Universities and colleges
IT disposal for universities and colleges, across every campus and department.
Collection, data erasure and hard drive destruction for IT services, estates and research teams, with records for information governance, research data commitments and sustainability reporting.
Evidence for data, research and reporting
Student records, staff data and research data often sit on the same estate, under different rules.
What your institution has to show
Student and staff data was erased or destroyed
The university or college stays the controller under UK GDPR for personal data on retired devices.
Research data was handled as agreed
Funder terms, ethics approvals and data-sharing agreements often say how research data must be destroyed when a project ends, and may need evidence that it was.
Reuse and recycling can be reported
What happens to retired IT feeds your sustainability and ESG reporting.
Departmental equipment is accounted for
Kit bought by departments and research groups still has to come off the central asset register.
What we provide
One process across every campus, with records that separate out where each device came from.
- Asset lists grouped by campus, building or department
- An erasure report for each device wiped for reuse
- A certificate of destruction for research drives, listing every serial number
- Reuse before recycling, with working equipment refurbished and resold
- One named contact for your whole programme

Multi-campus, one process
Collections from each campus and building on agreed dates, logged the same way, with one record across the programme.
Research data
Drives from research projects can be destroyed at your premises, with a serial-numbered certificate you can keep with the project’s data management records.

Larger refreshes planned around your academic calendar, with collections arranged to suit each campus.

Equipment left in offices and labs collected in one organised round, and logged like any other collection.
