Computer Equipment Disposal Policy

TechRepublic's Computer Equipment Disposal Policy presents your organization's policies and procedures for properly disposing, discarding, and decommissioning computer and IT equipment.

Computers, laptops, servers, and other IT equipment are regularly replaced and decommissioned. Off-lease systems must be:

• returned to the manufacturer
• some equipment is recycled
• some systems are given to employees, or
• donated

Systems must be properly processed and sensitive, proprietary, and all other organization information must be properly removed prior to discarding the systems. The policy also specifies which staff members are responsible for which tasks in the equipment decommissioning process.

Simply copy the text from the zipped PDF into your favorite word processor and customize it to fit your organization's needs.
