Our process
From your first conversation to documented project closeout.
Share the surplus list
Describe the equipment, approximate locations, quantities, and reason for retirement so the project can be understood.
Review recovery and data needs
We identify equipment for direct purchase or agreed resale on your behalf and clarify applicable data-handling requirements.
Coordinate the project
Pickup or logistics can be coordinated for the agreed equipment, with the disposition approach confirmed before work proceeds.
Receive the closeout records
After completion, receive the agreed records, such as disposition, inventory, custody, recycling, destruction, erasure, or ESG documentation.
Common questions
Can eLake purchase our surplus computers directly?
Yes, qualifying equipment may be considered for direct purchase. If direct purchasing is not the agreed route, eLake can discuss resale on your behalf. Value Recovery depends on equipment, condition, demand, and project requirements; value is evaluated for the equipment involved.
Do we need a full IT asset disposition project to liquidate computers?
No. A refresh or downsizing project can focus on surplus computers and related office equipment without requiring a full facility decommissioning. We can add data handling, logistics coordination, and agreed records where the equipment and project call for them.
How are data-bearing computers handled before recovery?
Applicable drives and devices can receive wiping/media sanitization or physical destruction. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 is guidance for media sanitization. When agreed, proof of erasure and a Certificate of Data Destruction can support the project closeout.
What should a Detroit organization provide to begin?
Start with the equipment types, approximate quantities, location, retirement reason, and any data or documentation needs. eLake can then discuss direct purchase or agreed resale, coordinate logistics, and identify the records appropriate to the service.
