We remove and recycle IT Assets from a large number of Councils and Government Departments, both here in NSW and also throughout Australia. We also provide on-site data erasure when required.For any councils that we deal with that are not local, we normally ask that they send us a detailed list of any equipment that they have for disposal, and we quote based on the information received. The information that we ask for is usually Make, Model, Condition, Hard Drives, Processor, Memory, Monitor Size. Also, we need to know if the drives need all data erased, and if devices come complete with original charger/power leads, keyboards, pens etc.Once we have a complete list, we then base our quote on this information, after allowing for any transport costs from the customer’s location to our warehouse. We do our utmost to keep the transport cost to a minimum, and we will liaise with the customer and our local agents to find the cheapest, most efficient way to carry this out. Sometimes it is best to use our own trucks, but often the best way is to use trusted couriers such as Fedex, and we will arrange collection using our account.Once the equipment arrives at our secure warehouse, we carry out a full audit and testing, along with data erasure when required.
