IT recycling, via a partner.
The route for equipment that has been decommissioned. DACPROS does not recycle equipment itself. Once equipment has been decommissioned and prepared, it is handed to a partner, who handles data destruction and recycling. This page explains that route.
Quick answer
How does recycling work with DACPROS?
Recycling follows decommissioning. DACPROS removes the equipment and hands it over, and a partner recycles it. The route starts with equipment that has already been taken out of service. We disconnect it, unrack it, record it and prepare it for handover. The partner then handles data destruction and recycling. DACPROS does not carry out either step, and does not issue destruction or recycling records.
This page covers recycling only. For the on-site removal, see IT decommissioning. For how removal and disposal fit together as a whole, see ITAD.
Who does what
Our side, their side.
Each step is either carried out by DACPROS or handled through a partner. We say which.
Recording what is handed over
A list of everything handed over, by serial number, that you can reconcile against the partner’s confirmation of receipt.
Preparing for collection
Kit staged, labelled and matched to a manifest, ready for the partner.
Data destruction (partner)
Handled by the partner. Agree the method with them before equipment leaves site. Any records come from them, not DACPROS.
Recycling (partner)
Carried out by the partner. DACPROS does not recycle equipment itself.
The route
From decommissioned to handed over.
Four steps. The first two are on site and done by DACPROS. The last two belong to the partner.
Decommissioned
Equipment is disconnected and unracked, either by DACPROS or by your own team, to a list you confirm.
Recorded and prepared
Each item is recorded by serial number against its box, then staged and labelled for handover.
Handed to the partner
Equipment passes to the partner, with the serial-number record so the receiving end can reconcile it.
Destroyed and recycled
The partner handles data destruction and recycling, and any records come from them.
Where and when
London-based, by arrangement.
Hammersmith hub, scheduled attendance
Our hub is in Hammersmith (W6). 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 depends on location, scope and engineer availability, so tell us where the equipment is.
