How It Works
Ucan Secure IT is licensed to collect/repair any redundant IT equipment (WEEE). A typical collection arranged with us goes like this:
SWIPE LEFT ON BOXES BELOW TO SEE EACH STEP
Step 1
Equipment is collected and carried safely in our vehicles to our industrial warehouse located in Buttershaw, Bradford.
Step 2
Once here at Ucan, the collected equipment is bar-coded and allocated a reference number for asset tracking.
Step 3
Equipment is then visually inspected and categorised for either disposal or refurbishment/reuse.
Step 4
A certificate of Destruction/Disposal (C.O.D.) is issued for each item to give you peace of mind that all data is either erased or destroyed.
Step 5
We remove all company references and security markings from equipment. If security markings cannot be removed, equipment will automatically be forwarded for breakdown and disposal.
Step 6
Equipment allocated for re-marketing is then subjected to a functionality test and graded depending on condition. Asset reports of the equipment are offered for your perusal as a hard copy or as an electronic file.
