IT Asset Remarketing & Disposal
Technology remarketing and disposal services answer two questions every refresh project eventually reaches: where does the old fleet go, and who proves the data went with it? Thousands of retired devices sitting in stockrooms are a security incident waiting for a misplaced pallet, and a write-down waiting for a CFO to notice.
IMI Solutions recycles and re-sells thousands of devices every year through our integration centres in Sydney and Melbourne. Retired fleets come back through the same reverse-logistics network that delivered them, get wiped to certifiable standards, and leave as either recovered value or responsibly recycled material.
What the service covers
- Collection and reverse logistics from every site, metro to remote, tracked serial-by-serial in IMX
- Certified data destruction: software wiping to recognised standards, physical destruction where policy requires, certificates per device
- Remarketing: testing, grading, refurbishment and resale of devices with residual value, returns shared with you
- Recycling: end-of-life material processed through compliant e-waste channels
- Lease returns: devices audited, restored to return condition and delivered back to the lessor on schedule, before penalty clauses bite
- Reporting: a complete chain-of-custody record for auditors, insurers and your asset register
Why this belongs with your deployment partner
Refresh and disposal are one motion. The crew installing the new POS lane carries the old terminal out the same night. Coupling the two halves means:
- No second visit, no second freight leg, no stockroom purgatory
- The asset register updates once, correctly: new serial in, old serial out
- Data-bearing devices leave site into a tracked chain, not a skip
Split the work across two vendors and the gap between them is where devices, and data, go missing.
Value recovery: what old fleets are worth
Recent-generation laptops, desktops and POS hardware hold real resale value, especially in fleet quantities with consistent specifications. Remarketing returns routinely offset a visible slice of refresh cost. Older or damaged stock still avoids landfill through certified recycling, which matters to your ESG reporting as much as to the environment.
Compliance without homework
Australian obligations around data protection and e-waste keep tightening, and several states now ban e-waste from landfill outright. Our process produces the paper trail: data destruction certificates, recycling documentation and chain-of-custody records, so your compliance answer is a folder, not a scramble.
Frequently asked questions
Which wiping standards do you use? Recognised sanitisation standards (NIST 800-88 aligned), with physical destruction available for drives that policy or condition rules out of reuse.
Can you clear a backlog, not just support new refreshes? Yes. Stockroom clean-outs are common first engagements: we collect, audit, wipe and disposition everything found.
How are remarketing returns handled? Agreed commercial split, reported per batch with grading detail. Transparency is the point.
Do certificates cover individual devices? Yes, certificates reference serials, so any single device's fate is provable years later.
