What Is IT Asset Disposal?
IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) is the secure, environmentally responsible process of retiring and disposing of outdated or redundant IT equipment. At DGD Technology, we manage the entire lifecycle of your end-of-use IT assets — from data destruction to recycling — ensuring compliance, sustainability, and security every step of the way.
Why Is Proper ITAD Important?
Disposing of IT equipment incorrectly can expose your organisation to serious risks:
- Data breaches from improperly wiped devices
- Regulatory penalties for non-compliance with GDPR and WEEE directives
- Environmental harm from landfill waste or toxic components
Our ITAD service is designed to eliminate those risks and turn your redundant assets into a secure and sustainable solution.
