IT Asset Disposition in London.

We do the on-site work. A partner does the disposal. DACPROS disconnects, unracks and handles retired IT equipment and prepares it for handover. Data destruction, recycling and resale are handled through a partner, not by DACPROS.

Quick answer

What is ITAD?

ITAD (IT asset disposition) is the retirement of end-of-life IT equipment, from taking it out of the racks to data destruction, recycling or resale. The process has two halves. The physical half is getting the equipment out of the racks and ready to hand over. The disposal half is destroying the data and recycling or reselling the hardware. DACPROS carries out the physical half. The disposal half is handled through a partner.

See IT decommissioning for the full scope of the on-site work, and recycling for how the handover to a recycling partner works.

What's included

Two halves, clearly split.

Each step is either done by DACPROS on site or handled through a partner. We say which, so you know who to ask for what.

On-site removal

Power and network disconnected and equipment unracked from the racks, to the list you confirm.

Handling and packing

Equipment packed and moved carefully, with each item recorded by serial number against the box it goes into.

Preparing for handover

Kit staged, labelled and matched to a manifest, ready for your haulier, your warehouse or the partner.

Clearing racks

Cabling, rails and anything not staying taken out, so the cabinet is empty for handback or reuse.

Data destruction (via a partner)

Carried out by the partner. Agree the method with them before the equipment leaves site. Any records come from them.

Recycling and resale (via a partner)

Handled by the partner. DACPROS does not process, recycle or resell equipment.

Where and when

London-based, by arrangement.

Hammersmith hub, scheduled attendance

Our hub is in Hammersmith (W6), so London is our home turf, from the City and Westminster to Canary Wharf, London Docklands (E14/E16) and the Slough/M4 data-centre corridor. We operate Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00; out-of-hours attendance is possible only if arranged in advance. We do not offer a guaranteed response time, and attendance outside London depends on location, scope and engineer availability, so tell us where the equipment is.

ITAD FAQ

Straight answers, no jargon.

What is ITAD?
ITAD (IT asset disposition) is the retirement of end-of-life IT equipment, from removal to data destruction, recycling or resale. DACPROS handles the on-site removal and handover. The later steps are handled through a partner.
Does DACPROS destroy data?
Not itself. Data destruction is handled through a partner. Your team decides how data is treated, and the partner carries it out. Any records come from the partner, not from DACPROS.
Does DACPROS recycle or resell equipment?
No. Recycling and resale are handled through a partner. We remove the equipment, record it and hand it over. What happens to it after that is the partner’s work.
Is IT equipment disposal in the UK regulated?
Yes. Disposal is covered by the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, and any data on the devices is subject to UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. As the owner of the equipment you stay responsible for how data is treated, so agree the details with the partner before anything leaves site. DACPROS does not carry out disposal itself.
What record do I get from DACPROS?
A list of what was removed, by serial number. You can reconcile it against what the partner confirms as received. Destruction and recycling records come from the partner.
Do you provide ITAD in London?
Yes, for the on-site removal and handover, from our Hammersmith hub (W6). We operate Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00, with out-of-hours attendance only if arranged in advance and no guaranteed response time.
