ITAD services pervade much of our everyday lives. From the computers we use at our jobs and the smartphones we keep in pockets, to the data centers where our digital lives are stored, ITAD is necessary to keep our data from falling into the wrong hands. As the rate of innovation in the field of information technology is advancing, effective and transparent management of obsolete equipment is becoming more vital than before.

Data security and environmental considerations have further increased the complexity of ITAD. The days of shredding computer gear and then dumping it in a landfill are long gone. Computing equipment must now be disposed of safely so that harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and other dangerous compounds do not wind up in our water and land. Similarly, data privacy requirements have altered how governments, organizations, and businesses dispose of obsolete technology.
