OUR PROCESS

Our ITAD Process

Plan the project, track the equipment, protect the data and document the result. TBR Trade Group uses a defined sequence to coordinate disposition and recovery.

Seven Steps. One Accountable Workflow.

Before collection, we define the equipment, data instructions, responsible providers, required records and commercial terms. These seven steps carry that scope through to completion.

  1. Plan

    Review the equipment, locations, data requirements and recovery objectives.

  2. Pick Up

    Coordinate packing, access, removal and transportation.

  3. Track

    Record asset identifiers, serial numbers and intake condition.

  4. Secure Data

    Sanitize data-bearing media or arrange physical destruction, then record the result.

  5. Test & Grade

    Test reusable equipment and record its configuration and condition.

  6. Recover or Recycle

    Remarket suitable hardware. Route non-reusable equipment to downstream recycling.

  7. Report

    Deliver inventory, data-processing and disposition records.

Before Pickup

Start with equipment types, approximate quantities and locations. We will help define the inventory scope, site access, data instructions and release approvals before collection.

Project contact

Name the person who can confirm scope and answer access questions.

Data requirements

Describe media and the required sanitization or destruction path.

Recovery objectives

Tell us whether a resale-value assessment is part of the project.

After Processing

Review the inventory, data-processing results and final disposition. Recovery projects also include the financial settlement.

Reconcile the inventory

Compare the received assets with the original list and resolve missing identifiers or quantity differences.

Review the media results

Connect each tracked device to its processing result. Failed attempts and changes of method belong in the record.

Close the disposition and settlement

Review reuse, recycling and financial outcomes, including fees or adjustments.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

What Businesses Ask.

Is the same process used for every asset?

The overall lifecycle is consistent, but testing, media handling and documentation vary by asset type and the agreed project scope.

What if equipment differs from the original list?

Log missing, additional or mismatched equipment and resolve the discrepancy with the project contact before closing the records.
