Different equipment carries different data risk, residual value, and WEEE obligations. We tailor certified data destruction, secure decommissioning, and recovery to the specific assets you retire — on UK chain of custody with no offshore brokering.
Every programme uses the same verified foundations • Accreditations • Case studies • Comparisons
What is ITAD?
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is the secure, documented retirement of end-of-life business IT — certified data destruction, decommissioning, and resale or recycling of hardware — so organisations retire equipment without data breaches, regulatory penalties, or lost residual value. TFix runs every ITAD project from its licensed UK facility in Mitcham, on a serialised chain of custody with no offshore brokering.
Certified erasure or physical shredding for HDDs, SSDs, NVMe, and backup media, with a serialised certificate per device, processed at our licensed UK facility.
Dispose of, decommission, and recycle servers, storage, and networking gear with serialised chain of custody and residual-value recovery.
WEEE-compliant recycling of flat-panel, LCD/LED, CRT, and TV displays with palletised collection and full Waste Transfer Notes.
MDM unenrolment, certified erasure, safe battery handling, and buyback of reusable mobile devices.
Secure disposal and recycling of switches, routers, firewalls, and access points, with configuration wipe, certified data destruction, and buyback of reusable gear.
WEEE-compliant recycling of inkjet, laser, and multifunction printers, with toner and cartridge handling and palletised collection.
Secure disposal of GPUs and AI accelerator cards, with on-card data sanitisation, residual-value recovery for NVIDIA and HPC boards, and WEEE recycling.

Standards we work to
We can supply our registrations, insurance certificates, and sample destruction outputs as part of your supplier due diligence.
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is the secure, documented retirement of end-of-life business IT: certified data destruction, decommissioning, and resale or recycling of hardware, handled on a serialised chain of custody.
ITAD covers secure data destruction, de-racking and decommissioning, logistics, and then either certified resale (value recovery) or WEEE recycling — all documented with serialised certificates and Waste Transfer Notes.
A specialist provider supplies the licences, audit trail, and standards alignment (NIST 800-88, GDPR, WEEE) that in-house disposal rarely matches, and recovers residual value to offset cost — without sending data-bearing kit to untracked brokers.
