IT Disposal & Computer Disposal Services

RDC’s core IT Disposal and Asset Recovery Services are focussed on generating value from used IT for our clients and creating an environmentally sustainable Computer disposal solution for anything unsuitable for reuse.

RDC manages the complete IT disposal process; from the logistical management of a collection, technical processing and secure data destruction, through to testing and assessment for the resale of used IT equipment and final recycling of unusable equipment.

Every Computer disposed of is individually managed, tracked and can be reported on at item level through our in-house
IT disposal asset management system. The stages through the process include electrical safety testing to verify that used
PCs are safe to connect to mains power, diagnostic software to test the functionality of parts and components and data eradication
software approved to HMG Security Services CESG standards to remove all data including licensed software.

Unmatched technical processing capability allows RDC to dispose, recycle and manage hundreds of thousands of used IT assets
every year, returning millions of pounds to our customers from the residual value in their used IT.

IT Recycling & Computer Recycling Services

Every organisation large or small is legally bound to dispose of WEEE (Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment
in an environmentally responsible manner. RDC’s Tech4Recycle services are aimed at organisations that have
obsolete or unwanted IT to Recycle. It is for customers that want an efficient and economical IT recycling solution that
delivers compliance to data security and environmental legislation.

Under the Tech4Recycle Service RDC recovers redundant Computers, securely destroying all confidential and protected
data and manages the recycling of IT equipment – exceeding the reuse, recycling and recovery targets of the WEEE Directive.
As you would expect all Computers and IT equipment are tracked and reported.

Our IT & Computer Recycling services provide a value added solution to the disposal of unwanted IT assets. Your business risks
are assured and you can be safe in the knowledge that your IT assets will be treated in a legally compliant manner and that all
equipment is handled through a quality assured safe and environmentally responsible process.

IT Redeployment & IT Re-Use

A desirable route many organisations can choose for equipment that merely requires a refresh in the IT product life cycle
and still meets the needs of the business is to refurbish existing equipment and redeploy it back into the organisation.

RDC provide a range of solutions that enable an organisation to have equipment collected from one location, refurbished,
upgraded if required, re-configured and IT redeployed to the same or other designated site. Computers can be selected for
IT refurbishment or re-use within your business and as such are processed further in accordance with IT redeployment tasks.

Equipment defined by the redeployment specification is subjected to a number of processes, as agreed with the client to ensure
any IT is visually and technically acceptable for redeployment. If passed, it can be upgraded or downgraded as appropriate
to comply with the IT redeployment specification. Image builds, external & internal refurbishment and re-asset can also
be undertaken. This flexible approach allows clients to redeploy equipment with different levels of refurbishment and cost.

IT Data Destruction

RDC deliver a range of services and solutions to destroy confidential and protectively marked data. These solutions will ensure
compliance to data protection legislation, governmental standards and the strictest security policies for data destruction. Data is
destroyed through controlled processes with each item individually tracked through our IT asset management system.

Data eradication with Certification – As part of RDC’s core processing tasks, all data bearing items are data wiped using approved software. Subject to safety testing and functionality checks this key task allows successfully data wiped equipment to be sold for reuse generating residual value.

Degaussing – Where hard disk drives and other magnetic media will not be reused, these are passed through approved degaussing tools
which destroy all data and makes reuse impossible.

Disintegration – Often referred to as shredding, this process is employed where hard disk drives and other data bearing devices
cannot be successfully wiped or where it has been decided that equipment cannot be reused.
