IT Equipment Removal for Commercial Movers
Keep retired IT out of the move stream with coordinated removal and documented disposition.
eLake helps commercial movers and office-relocation teams separate retired computers and electronics from equipment being relocated, coordinate collection around agreed site access and move schedules, and manage data handling and final records.
Headquartered in Livonia, serving Southeast Michigan.
A clear path for equipment that should not move
When an office move includes end-of-life or surplus technology, eLake helps identify the removal stream, coordinate collection for the agreed project plan, and provide records for the customer’s closeout.
A practical handoff for retired technology
eLake reviews the equipment included in the project and helps distinguish retired or surplus items from assets the moving team is transporting.
- Equipment review
- Confirm accepted equipment within the project review.
- Collection coordination
- Align pickup or removal with agreed site access.
- Asset visibility
- Track items through an Asset Inventory Manifest.
- Disposition clarity
- Document outcomes in an agreed Disposition Report.
Data Destruction & Proof
Arrange the data service for retired drives and devices. Wiping / Media Sanitization or physical destruction can be coordinated with Proof of Erasure or a Certificate of Data Destruction for the applicable service.
- NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2
- Use current media-sanitization guidance when planning the data service.
- Wiping / Media Sanitization
- Address stored data on suitable drives and devices.
- Physical Destruction
- Destroy data-bearing media designated for physical destruction.
- Proof of Erasure
- Keep the erasure record for applicable wiping services.
A documented finish after collection
After collection, eLake manages agreed disposition options, including recycling and qualifying equipment direct purchasing or agreed resale on behalf, with records for the customer.
- Recycling record
- Provide a Certificate of Recycling when agreed.
- Inventory record
- Return an Asset Inventory Manifest for review.
- Disposition summary
- Document final outcomes in a Disposition Report.
- ESG documentation
- Support agreed ESG reporting with project records.
