Straight answers to the questions we get asked before anyone books anything — including the ones where the honest answer is inconvenient for us.

Read the guide →IT disposal is an awkward thing to buy. The product is largely the absence of a future problem, most of the work happens after your equipment has left the building, and the failure mode — a breach traced back to a disposed asset, or an enforcement action over waste that ended up somewhere it should not have — usually surfaces long after the invoice is paid.
That makes it very easy to sell badly and quite hard to buy well. These guides are our attempt at the information we would want if we were the ones buying, including the questions we would rather you asked us.
