Residual Data
Storage devices may retain customer, employee, financial or operational information.
IT Asset Disposal
Retire technology securely and responsibly.
Controlled collection, data sanitisation, recycling and disposal services for computers, servers, storage devices, networking equipment and other business technology.
Asset Disposal Overview
A secure end-of-life process for business technology.
Old computers, servers, storage devices and networking equipment may still contain sensitive business information even after they are no longer in use.
Hozit helps organisations inventory, collect, sanitise, recycle and dispose of retired technology through a controlled asset-lifecycle process.

Disposal Challenges
Retired technology can remain a security and compliance risk.
Equipment that is stored, sold, donated or discarded without proper controls may expose data, create environmental risk or leave asset records incomplete.
Untracked Equipment
Retired devices may remain in storerooms without clear ownership or disposal records.
Unauthorised Reuse
Equipment may be sold, transferred or reused before business data is removed securely.
Environmental Risk
Electronic equipment may contain materials that should not be sent to ordinary landfill.
Missing Evidence
Management may not have proof of collection, sanitisation, recycling or disposal.
Governance Exposure
Weak disposal processes can affect data protection, internal controls and audit readiness.
Asset Disposal Capabilities
A controlled process from collection to final reporting.
The disposal scope is based on equipment type, quantity, condition, storage media, location and required evidence.
Asset Inventory
Record equipment type, serial number, asset number, condition and assigned location.
Equipment Collection
Coordinate approved collection of retired technology from business locations.
Asset Identification
Match devices to available labels, serial numbers and internal asset records.
Data Sanitisation
Apply an approved data-removal process to supported storage devices.
Physical Destruction
Arrange physical destruction where required and appropriate for the storage media.
E-Waste Recycling
Direct suitable electronic equipment and components into approved recycling channels.
Equipment Assessment
Review whether selected devices can be repaired, redeployed, refurbished or recycled.
Disposal Records
Provide agreed records for collected, sanitised, recycled and disposed assets.

The process is designed to preserve accountability while protecting business information and equipment records.
Define the Scope
Confirm equipment quantities, locations, asset records, storage media and required disposal method.
Inventory the Assets
Record available asset numbers, serial numbers, equipment types and condition.
Collect the Equipment
Coordinate secure collection and transfer of approved retired technology.
Sanitise or Destroy Data
Apply the approved process to supported hard drives, SSDs and other storage media.

Asset Disposal Questions
Frequently asked questions about IT asset disposal.
What types of IT equipment can Hozit collect?
Depending on the agreed scope, equipment may include computers, laptops, servers, storage devices, networking hardware, monitors, phones and peripherals.
Does deleting files remove all business data?
No. Ordinary deletion or formatting may not remove all recoverable information from a storage device.
Can Hozit sanitise hard drives and SSDs?
Yes, subject to the condition, technology, encryption and agreed data-sanitisation method.
Can storage devices be physically destroyed?
Yes, where required and included in the approved scope. The appropriate method depends on the device and security requirement.
Will we receive a disposal report?
Yes, where included in the scope. Reporting may list collected assets and the sanitisation, recycling or disposal outcome.
Can working devices be refurbished or redeployed?
Yes. Suitable equipment may be assessed for repair, refurbishment, donation or controlled redeployment before recycling.
Can Hozit collect equipment from multiple offices?
Yes, subject to location, quantity, access arrangements and approved collection costs.
Is e-waste recycling the same as data destruction?
No. Recycling handles the physical equipment, while data sanitisation or destruction addresses information stored on the device.
