IT Decommissioning Services

Remove Old IT Equipment. Keep Clear Records.

DeployNation provides IT decommissioning services across the United States. We disconnect, record, pack, and take away old computers, servers, and other approved equipment. Your team gets a clear record of what leaves and where it goes. We follow your plan so your staff can focus on other work.

Track What Leaves and Where It Goes

Know which devices were removed and what happens next.

We can record:

• Asset tags and serial numbers
• Brand, model, and equipment type
• Device name and rack location
• Assigned user or department
• Device condition and removal date
• Whether the device stores data
• Planned destination and handoff details

Your team chooses the records needed. We follow that process throughout the project.

Computer and Laptop Decommissioning

We help retire laptops, desktops, workstations, and approved accessories.

The work can include:

• Disconnecting and collecting equipment
• Recording asset tags and serial numbers
• Matching devices to users
• Identifying devices that store data
• Sorting equipment by its next destination
• Packing equipment and updating records

Each desktop or laptop includes up to two standard flat panel monitors, a keyboard, mouse, dock, and related cables. Printers are not included.

Need old devices removed after a Computer Refresh? We can plan the next step.

Server and Network Equipment Decommissioning

Servers and network devices need an approved removal plan. Your engineers decide what can be shut down and how to protect systems still in use.

Once approved, we can:

• Identify devices and check asset records.
• Label and disconnect approved cables.
• Remove servers, switches, storage, and mounting parts.
• Organize and pack equipment.
• Clear the agreed rack space.
• Record what was removed.

We follow your team’s instructions before touching active equipment.

Clear an Entire Server Room

Closing a site or moving systems? We can plan a larger server room or data center removal.

A typical project includes:

1. Confirm what stays and what goes.
2. Record the approved equipment.
3. Follow your shutdown and disconnect plan.
4. Remove designated servers, network devices, and power units.
5. Keep devices that store data clearly identified.
6. Pack equipment by destination.
7. Check removed items against the inventory.
8. Take required photos and report any issues.

Your quote defines the equipment, removal work, and site requirements.

Handle Devices That Store Data With Care

Computers, drives, servers, and storage systems may hold company data.

We identify, separate, and track those devices using your approved process. Your team decides what must be wiped, destroyed, reused, or returned.

Equipment removal does not mean its data has been erased. Your quote confirms any data wiping or drive destruction work.

Data Wiping and Drive Destruction

Need data services along with removal? We can coordinate the approved process with your team and qualified providers.

That can include:

• Recording device or drive serial numbers
• Sorting devices by the required data process
• Tracking handoffs
• Preparing devices for wiping or destruction
• Matching completion records to the asset list
• Collecting available certificates from the responsible provider

We agree on the process before equipment leaves your control. Data services are priced separately before pickup.

Chain of Custody for Retired IT Assets

Chain of custody records show who handled equipment and where it went.

Your project can track:

• Device identity
• Who handled or received it
• Dates and times of handoffs
• Storage and transport locations
• Planned reuse, return, or recycling
• Available completion records

We follow the tracking requirements agreed in your scope of work.

Office Closures and IT Equipment Removal

Closing an office can mean moving some devices and retiring others.

We help separate equipment for:

• Another office
• Storage or reuse
• Return to a leasing company
• Data wiping or destruction
• Approved recycling or other disposal

Tell us about printers, displays, conference room devices, and other extra equipment. These need to be listed and priced in your quote.

IT Asset Disposition and Recycling

IT asset disposition, or ITAD, is the process of deciding what happens to retired equipment.

We handle the agreed removal work and confirm whether equipment will be reused, resold, or recycled. Standard transport and recycling are included for the agreed equipment.

Data services, lease returns, and other special needs are defined in your quote. We can also coordinate with your approved ITAD, recycling, or data destruction provider.

Reuse Equipment That Still Has Value

Some retired devices can still serve your business. We sort equipment using your plan.

Next Step	What It Means
Reuse	Put the equipment back into service elsewhere
Return	Send leased or vendor equipment back
Store	Keep equipment for future use
ITAD	Send equipment through an approved resale, recycling, or disposal process
Data Handling	Complete required wiping or destruction before the next step

Sorting early helps keep reusable equipment separate from devices ready for disposal.

What We Need Before Removal

A clear plan helps us remove the right equipment.

Project Detail	What to Send
Location	Office, server room, data center, or site address
Equipment	Types and estimated quantities
Inventory	Existing asset list, if available
Approval	Which devices may be removed and which must stay
Data	Rules for devices that store company information
Destination	Reuse, storage, return, resale, or recycling plans
Records	Required asset details and custody records
Schedule	Removal dates and building deadlines
Access	Security, elevator, loading, and entry rules
Packing	Any special packing needs
Transport	Pickup details and any special transport needs
Contact	Who can answer questions or approve changes

For larger projects, a site survey or equipment count can help us plan the work.
