Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is IT Asset Recovery?

    IT asset recovery is the process of reclaiming obsolete, surplus or end-of-life business hardware and extracting value from those assets before final disposal.

    It covers secure collection, certified data erasure, resale or recycling, and full reporting. It sits within the broader discipline of IT Asset Disposition (ITAD).

  • Why is it important for my organisation?

    IT asset recovery reduces compliance risk through certified data destruction, recovers residual value from hardware you have already depreciated, and supports your sustainability targets by keeping equipment in use for longer.

    Without a structured recovery programme, retired devices accumulate cost and compliance risk.

  • What is the difference between ITAR and ITAD?

    ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) is the broader process of securely retiring end-of-life IT hardware, covering disposal, recycling and data destruction.

    IT asset recovery is a specific part of ITAD focused on extracting financial value through resale or a buyback programme, either before or alongside final disposal.

  • What happens to the data on my IT equipment?

    All data is permanently erased using Blancco-certified software, which meets internationally recognised standards including NIST 800-88 and ISO 27001-aligned processes.

    Where erasure is not possible, physical data carrier destruction is offered. You receive a certificate of data destruction for every device processed.

  • How much is my old hardware still worth?

    Residual value depends on the type of hardware, its age, brand, condition and current market demand. Circular IT Group provides a transparent, no-obligation valuation before any commitment is made. Request a free valuation to find out what your hardware is worth.

  • What types of IT equipment do you accept?

    We accept laptops, desktop computers, Apple devices, tablets, servers up to 6 years old, storage systems (NAS, SAN, DAS), networking equipment and monitors larger than 21″.

    We require a minimum of 10 units for personal devices. We do not accept hardware from private individuals, defective or incomplete equipment, cables, keyboards or printers.

  • How long does the process take?

    The process typically begins with a proposal within a few business days of your valuation request. From there, collection, data erasure, reporting and payment are managed efficiently by our team.

    Timelines vary depending on volume and location. Contact us for an estimate specific to your situation.

  • Do you collect IT equipment from multiple sites?

    Yes. Circular IT group operates across Europe and can manage collections across multiple locations, including multi-site or multi-country projects.

    Our logistics network handles secure transport from your site directly to our processing facility.
