Retirement Process

Once returned to CDL, all equipment is segregated into non-hazardous and hazardous equipment. Equipment is further segregated into PC’s, laptops, printers, monitors and servers. All other equipment is classified as general equipment.

Every item of equipment is bar-coded and allocated its own unique CDL asset number to facilitate future audit trails. Equipment ID, specification and details of condition are taken and uploaded into the asset report.

Equipment with hard drives is segregated from all other WEEE. Hard drives are data erased and/or degaussed as appropriate with certification produced.

Every aspect of the disposal process is carried out in house at CDL with the exception of the final recycling process, which is carried out by an approved partner.

A comprehensive asset report is then produced including data erase certification
