IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)
A structured, documented process for retiring IT infrastructure — with certified data destruction, signed pickup documentation, and asset-level reporting that satisfies even the most demanding compliance requirements.

ITAD that protects your organization — not just your equipment
When IT equipment reaches end of life, the liability does not disappear — it transfers to whoever handles disposal. An improperly wiped hard drive, a missing certificate of destruction, or a gap in pickup documentation can create real legal and regulatory exposure for your organization.
Prime Asset Recovery runs a structured ITAD process built around documentation, accountability, and verified outcomes. Every engagement — regardless of size — receives the same level of pickup documentation, certified data destruction, and asset-level reporting. We do not cut corners on a small job because it seems low-risk.
We also evaluate every asset for recovery value. Many clients receive partial or full payment on retired equipment rather than an invoice for disposal — learn more about our asset recovery programs.
Every engagement includes
- Scheduled pickup at your location — we come to you
- Serial number inventory and signed pickup manifest at collection
- Certified data destruction — shred or NIST SP 800-88 wipe
- Serialized certificate of destruction per device
- Asset-level reporting delivered on completion
- Recovery value assessment on all equipment
- Downstream recycling via R2-certified partners
From our facility
What a typical ITAD engagement looks like
Dell enterprise servers staged at our Marietta, GA facility — asset-tagged, inventoried by serial number, and queued for certified data destruction and valuation.
Our process
How every ITAD engagement works
1
Assessment & scheduling
We review your inventory, confirm scope, and schedule pickup — typically within the week.
2
Pickup & documentation
Every asset inventoried by serial number. Signed pickup manifest created on site at collection.
3
Facility-based destruction
Drives transported to our secure Marietta, GA facility and shredded. We control the entire process.
4
Processing & valuation
Every asset evaluated for resale value. Qualifying equipment enters our remarketing process.
5
Report & recovery
Serialized CODs, full asset report, and buyback payment delivered within 5 business days.
Every engagement is documented. You receive a signed pickup manifest at collection, a serialized certificate of destruction for every data-bearing device, and a complete asset report on completion.
Documentation trail
What you receive — and when
Every ITAD engagement produces three documents. Here's exactly what each one contains and when it's delivered.
This documentation package is what separates a defensible ITAD engagement from a liability gap. Every Prime Asset Recovery engagement produces all three documents — regardless of size.
Why it matters
What poor ITAD actually costs organizations
Data breach exposure
A single improperly destroyed drive that surfaces with recoverable data can trigger breach notification requirements, regulatory fines, and reputational damage that far exceeds the cost of proper disposal.
Compliance gaps
HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, and PCI-DSS all require documented, verifiable data destruction. Without a serialized COD for every device, you cannot demonstrate compliance in an audit — a certificate covering a batch is not sufficient.
Unrealized asset value
Enterprise-grade servers, networking equipment, and storage systems retain significant market value at end of life. Most organizations dispose of this equipment without ever assessing what it is worth.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you service companies outside the Atlanta area?
We run our own trucks throughout metro Atlanta and the Southeast. For projects outside our direct service area we coordinate through vetted logistics partners with the same documentation standards. We have handled engagements across the Southeast and can support larger decommission projects nationwide.
Is there a minimum engagement size?
There is no minimum. We handle single-location pickups with a handful of devices the same way we handle full data center decommissions. Every engagement regardless of size receives the same documentation and destruction standards.
How quickly can you schedule a pickup?
Most engagements are scheduled within the week of first contact. For urgent situations we can often accommodate faster timelines — call us directly at (404) 263-2935 and we will tell you what is possible.
What documentation do I receive?
You receive a signed pickup manifest at collection documenting every asset by serial number, make, and model. Once destruction and processing is complete you receive a serialized certificate of destruction for every data-bearing device and a full asset report covering every item collected — disposition method, destruction date, and any recovery value returned. All documentation is suitable for compliance audit purposes.
Do you support HIPAA-compliant disposal for healthcare organizations?
Yes. We have experience working with healthcare organizations and understand the documentation requirements for PHI-bearing media. Our destruction process — physical shredding or NIST SP 800-88 compliant wipe — and our serialized per-device certificates of destruction are designed to support your organization's HIPAA compliance requirements. Every device receives its own COD tied to its serial number, which is the documentation standard required for HIPAA audit purposes.
What happens to equipment that still has resale value?
We assess every asset for current market value at no cost to you. Equipment with recoverable value enters our remarketing process and proceeds are returned to you through direct buyback or revenue share. You are never charged a disposal fee for equipment we can remarket — in many cases clients receive payment rather than an invoice.
