JHI IS YOUR IT ASSET DISPOSITION EXPERT
JHI proudly offers your business a more profitable way to dispose of end of life computers and electronics!
This service is called IT asset disposition (ITAD) and is the business of disposing obsolete or unwanted IT equipment in a safe and ecologically-responsible manner.
With rapid development of new technology, many businesses are now regularly faced with the decision of whether to refurbish or resell, recycle or dispose of IT equipment. At JHI, we specialize in streamlining the process of IT asset disposition, while minimizing costs and maximizing recouping of losses.
JHI IS YOUR BUSINESS’S SOLUTION
JHI’s ITAD service was created in response to a number of considerations in replacing IT equipment, such as:
- It is not common knowledge how information and IT equipment and ecologically-sensitive components should be disposed.
- Data security is of utmost importance and means storage devices must be securely wiped to maintain your company’s privacy.
- Proper disposal of ecologically-sensitive materials must be done properly or your company may face fines.
- Paying environmental fees for disposal is unnecessary. There are more socially responsible alternatives, such as giving away equipment or making charitable donations.

Good questions
Answers before you ask.
What is IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)?
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is the process of securely disposing of outdated, unwanted, or retired IT equipment, including computers, servers, laptops, hard drives, and networking devices. ITAD services help businesses protect sensitive information, recover value from reusable equipment, and responsibly recycle electronic waste.
What does an ITAD company do?
An ITAD company helps businesses manage retired technology equipment through services such as asset collection, inventory management, data destruction, equipment recycling, and asset recovery. Businesses in Phoenix, Arizona, can use ITAD services to simplify technology disposal while supporting data security and environmental responsibility.
How much does IT asset disposition cost?
The cost of IT asset disposition depends on the type and quantity of equipment, transportation requirements, data destruction methods, and recycling needs. Some IT equipment may retain resale value, potentially offsetting disposal costs. Contact Jay Hoehl Inc. to discuss your equipment and request pricing.
What is the difference between ITAD and electronics recycling?
ITAD focuses on the complete management of retired IT assets, including data security, equipment tracking, potential resale, and responsible disposal. Electronics recycling primarily focuses on recovering reusable materials from electronic waste. ITAD provides a more comprehensive solution for businesses managing sensitive information and valuable technology assets.
How do businesses securely dispose of old computers?
Businesses should first identify equipment containing sensitive information and ensure all stored data is securely erased or physically destroyed using an appropriate method. Working with a qualified ITAD provider can help businesses establish secure handling procedures and responsibly recycle or repurpose outdated computers.
What types of IT equipment can be recycled?
Many IT assets can be recycled or repurposed, including desktop computers, laptops, servers, monitors, printers, networking equipment, circuit boards, and storage devices. Acceptance depends on the equipment's condition and the recycling provider's capabilities. Contact Jay Hoehl Inc. to discuss your unwanted business electronics.
Can businesses sell their old IT equipment?
Yes. Businesses may be able to recover value from used computers, servers, networking equipment, and other technology assets. Resale value depends on the equipment's age, condition, specifications, and market demand. IT asset recovery can help businesses reduce waste while potentially generating revenue from retired equipment.
What is secure data destruction in ITAD?
Secure data destruction is the process of permanently removing or destroying sensitive information stored on electronic devices. Common methods include secure data sanitization and physical destruction of storage media. The appropriate method depends on the device, data sensitivity, and applicable security requirements.
What is a certificate of data destruction?
A certificate of data destruction documents that specified storage devices or media have undergone a data destruction process. Depending on the provider, documentation may include equipment identifiers, destruction methods, and completion dates. Businesses should confirm whether their ITAD provider offers certificates and the level of documentation required for compliance.
Why is ITAD important for businesses?
ITAD helps businesses reduce data security risks, manage outdated technology, recover potential equipment value, and support environmentally responsible disposal. A structured ITAD process can also improve asset tracking and help organizations meet applicable data protection and disposal requirements.
How often should businesses dispose of outdated IT equipment?
Businesses should review their IT equipment regularly and establish a retirement schedule based on performance, security requirements, maintenance costs, and operational needs. Equipment that no longer receives security updates or meets business requirements should be evaluated for replacement and secure disposition.

IT Asset Disposal Services in Phoenix, AZ
IT asset disposal (ITAD) is how a business retires old servers, laptops, network gear and drives safely. The data is wiped or destroyed, working equipment is resold to recover value, and the rest is recycled. Jay Hoehl Inc. (JHI) has handled this for Phoenix businesses since 1980. We offer free business pickup and send nothing to the landfill.
Our IT Asset Disposal Process, Step by Step
- Send us your list. Tell us the types and quantities of equipment, whether it still works, and whether any devices hold sensitive data. A rough count is enough to start.
- We schedule a free business pickup. We come to your office, server room or warehouse anywhere in Maricopa County. Small loads can also be dropped off at our Phoenix dock on weekdays.
- Every unit is tracked. Equipment is logged from your building to its final destination, with progress reporting along the way.
- Data is destroyed. Hard drives are wiped using industry-standard methods or destroyed outright. See our hard drive shredding service in Phoenix for drives that must be physically destroyed.
- Value is recovered. Equipment that still has life is remarketed, which can offset the cost of your new hardware. Learn more about our used IT equipment buyers service.
- Everything else is recycled. Boards, metals, plastics and cables are recycled responsibly under our zero landfill promise. A data destruction record is available on request.

Resell, Reuse or Recycle? What Happens to Each Type of IT Equipment
Not every device ends up in the same place. Age, condition and demand decide whether equipment is resold or recycled.
| Equipment | Usual path | What to tell us |
|---|---|---|
| Servers and racks | Recent enterprise servers are often resold. Older units are recycled for their boards and metals. | Make, model, CPU, RAM and whether drives are installed |
| Routers, switches and network equipment | Current models usually have resale demand. End-of-life gear is recycled. | Brand, model and port count |
| Desktops and laptops | Newer business laptops can be resold after data removal. Older machines are recycled. | Quantity, age and condition |
| Hard drives and SSDs | Wiped and reused, or destroyed when the data is sensitive | Whether you need drives destroyed rather than wiped |
| Printers and peripherals | Mostly recycled | Rough quantity |
| Processors, memory and circuit boards | Resold if usable, otherwise recycled for precious metals | Type and rough weight |
| CRT monitors | Not free to process. Call us about these. | How many |
Data Destruction: Wiping vs. Physical Destruction
Deleting files or formatting a drive does not remove the data. A drive needs to be overwritten with a proper sanitization method, or physically destroyed. Wiping lets a drive be reused, so it keeps its value. Destruction is the safer choice for drives that held patient, financial or legal records, and for failed drives that can't be wiped.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) store data differently from spinning hard drives, so a simple overwrite may not reach every block. Many IT teams choose physical destruction for SSDs. The federal guideline most IT teams follow is NIST Special Publication 800-88, Guidelines for Media Sanitization. Tell us which devices need which method before pickup.
Excess IT Equipment From Refreshes, Office Moves and Data Center Decommissioning
Most excess IT equipment piles up for a few common reasons: a laptop refresh cycle, an office move or closure, a merger, or retiring a server room or data center. Stockpiling everything and scheduling one pickup is usually simpler than dealing with devices one at a time. JHI handles everything from a single laptop to a full data center teardown. If you have a large lot to clear, see our page on excess IT equipment.
We work with businesses that hold sensitive data, including healthcare, banks and finance, government offices, schools and universities, manufacturers, data centers, and retail and office teams.
How to Choose an IT Asset Disposal Company
Before you hand over equipment, ask any ITAD vendor these questions:
- How is data destroyed, and can I get a record of it for each device?
- Who picks the equipment up, and how is it tracked until it is processed?
- Which equipment is resold, and how is that value shared or credited?
- Where does non-reusable material go? Is any of it landfilled or exported?
- Which certifications, if any, does the company hold? Ask for copies and check them yourself.
- Will someone actually call back and schedule the pickup quickly?
The U.S. EPA explains what certified electronics recyclers are and what the main standards cover.
Mistakes That Lower the Value of Retired IT Equipment
- Letting equipment sit in storage for years. Resale value drops every month.
- Pulling out RAM, CPUs or drives without telling the buyer, which turns a complete server into parts.
- Throwing away power supplies, rails, caddies and chargers that belong with the units.
- Mixing working and dead equipment without labels.
- Sending devices out before deciding how the data will be destroyed.
IT Asset Disposal FAQ
Can I just remove the hard drive and throw away the old computer?
Removing the drive protects the data, but the rest of the computer still shouldn't go in the trash. Electronics contain lead and other materials that don't belong in a landfill. Bring the computer in or add it to a business pickup, and we can destroy the drive for you as well.
Who in Phoenix will pick up old servers, switches and routers?
JHI offers free business pickup of servers, routers, switches and other network equipment anywhere in Maricopa County. Call (602) 272-4033 or use our contact form, and we will schedule a time that fits your week.
Should we resell, recycle or repurpose old servers?
If the servers are a few years old and working, resale usually recovers the most value. If they are older or failed, recycling is the right path. We evaluate every unit for reuse first and recycle what can't be reused.
Do you take broken or non-working IT equipment?
Yes. Non-working equipment still has value as parts or as electronic scrap. Dead servers, laptops and network gear are all accepted.
Is there a minimum quantity for IT asset disposal?
No. We take anything from one laptop to a full truckload. For a business pickup, larger loads make the trip worthwhile, so call us and we'll work out the best option.
How should we handle laptops piling up after a refresh?
Collect them in one place, note how many you have and whether the drives are still inside, then schedule one pickup. Newer business laptops often have resale value, so don't let them sit too long.
What is the difference between ITAD and IT equipment buyback?
Buyback focuses only on buying equipment that can be resold. ITAD covers the whole job: pickup, tracking, data destruction, resale of what has value, and recycling of everything else. That way nothing is left behind.
