We offer our clients a professionally managed Asset Recovery Process for inventories of retired, older, obsolete, excess IT and Telecom equipment. In order to insure our customers that their excess technology assets are being dealt with in an efficient, confidential and environmentally sound manner we perform the following procedures:

A. Asset Recovery Procedures

1. At the point of entry into our warehouse our Audit technician assigns all equipment a unique BSI identification number generated by our proprietary asset tracking and inventory system. Audit information such as the originating customer, date, driver, warehouse technician and type of asset (i.e. computer, monitor, laptop, printer, etc) is also captured at this time.
2. Each asset is then placed on a test bench and the BSI number is scanned into the audit and test module database. At this time the manufacturer, model, serial and customer asset numbers are recorded into the unique record and all customer identification information such as Asset tags are removed and destroyed. All data programs and operating systems are destroyed upon equipment start up. If the asset fails to power up, the hard drive is removed and destroyed.
3. The asset is inspected for its physical condition and any irregularities are recorded in its database record.
4. Configuration audit information such as memory size, hard drive size, printer memory, etc is then captured.
5. A functional test is performed by our A+ certified technicians and the results are noted in the inventory system.
6. Assets are sorted into working and non working units.

B. Data Security and Destruction

1. All hard drives are sanitized or destroyed. We erase all data, files, software from hard drives (HD’s) using DBAN. HD’s are wiped on all functioning PC’s and Laptops using DBAN with a minimum of three passes.
2. HD’S are wiped on all functioning Apple Macintosh’s using DBAN.
3. Loose Hard drives that function are wiped using DBAN.
4. Non-functioning Hard drives are destroyed through crushing and threshing in our National Bailing Press Company 5000Lbs. crusher/thresher.
5. As functioning hard drives are wiped the time, date and BSI and/or serial number is recorded into our system to insure an auditable trail.

C. Disposal and Recycling

1. Functioning assets with re-sale value are sold at market values.
2. All non functioning assets, with the exception of monitors, such as PC’s, Printers, Laptops, Switches, Servers, etc are picked up by our partner scrap dealers and removed.
3. The scrap dealers break down the non functioning assets into their component parts such as circuit boards, power supplies, metal and plastic cases. These parts are sold to be re-used in the manufacturer of new end user products.
4. Non functioning monitors are given to our downstream partner, The Town of Babylon Solid Waste Recycling Center for downstream processing. The TOBSWRC removes any toxic material from the monitors and then breaks them down into their component parts. The glass and plastics are broken down and re-sold for use in the manufacturer of new products. The logic boards are sent to the scrap dealers for eventual sale in markets around the world.

D. Audit Reports

1. Management reports are generated for our customers on a monthly basis.
2. Letters of Destruction and transfer certificates are generated for all assets recorded into our system on a monthly basis.
