Headquartered in Livonia, serving Southeast Michigan.
A practical ITAD extension for managed IT teams
When clients refresh technology, eLake helps your team move retired equipment through an agreed handoff, disposition, and records process—so you can stay focused on ongoing managed IT.
From client upgrade to organized disposition
Share the project and accepted equipment for review. eLake can coordinate collection or removal and support ITAD for common business electronics.
- Equipment review
- Confirm accepted equipment and project before handoff.
- Collection coordination
- Agree timing and location details for equipment collection or removal.
- Disposition support
- Route equipment through recycling, destruction, or agreed resale.
- Closeout records
- Receive agreed records for the client project closeout.
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.
Value Recovery
eLake can support business electronics recycling, qualifying equipment direct purchasing, and agreed resale on behalf, with disposition records and Value Recovery where applicable.
- Direct Purchasing
- Discuss selling qualifying computers, servers or enterprise hardware directly to eLake.
- Resale on Your Behalf
- Consider an agreed resale arrangement for qualifying equipment.
- Mixed Equipment Projects
- Combine qualifying hardware recovery with responsible recycling for accepted end-of-life electronics.
