ITAD Onboarding and Handover Framework

The short answer:

Most ITAD delays and audit issues start before collection day. Clear onboarding, named responsibilities, and documented handover controls are the difference between smooth delivery and expensive rework.

Use this page to align IT, operations, facilities, and compliance stakeholders before first collection or decommissioning activity begins.

Suggested Flow

Four-Stage Onboarding Timeline

  • 1

    Scope Confirmation

    Confirm device types, approximate volumes, sites, target dates, and any high-risk media classes before scheduling.

  • 2

    Site and Access Planning

    Document access windows, loading constraints, security checkpoints, contact owners, and escalation points.

  • 3

    Collection and Handover Execution

    Run labelled handover, transfer records, and chain-of-custody controls consistently across every site and batch.

  • 4

    Closeout and Reporting

    Deliver destruction/sanitisation outputs, WEEE records, and project summary report for internal sign-off.

Pre-go-live questions to settle first

  • Who signs off final scope and schedule changes?
  • What documentation is mandatory at each stage?
  • Which assets must be destroyed versus sanitised?
  • What qualifies as a failed handover and what is the remediation path?
