What does an ITAD company do?

An ITAD company helps organizations retire old or unused technology in a safe and secure way. This includes certified data destruction, asset recovery, electronics recycling, and detailed reporting so you always know how your equipment was handled. The goal is to protect your data, recover value, and keep devices out of landfills.

Why is certified data destruction important?

Certified data destruction ensures that sensitive information on your devices is permanently removed using approved methods. At Tech Defenders, we follow R2v3 and NIST 800 88 standards so your organization stays compliant and protected throughout the entire IT asset disposition process.

Do you offer ITAD services in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana?

Yes, we provide full ITAD services across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana with local pickup options, onsite service capabilities, and dedicated account managers. This regional support helps organizations simplify logistics and securely retire devices with a trusted local partner.

Can an ITAD company help my organization recover value from old devices?

Absolutely. Asset value recovery is one of the biggest benefits of working with an ITAD provider. We evaluate your retired equipment, refurbish what we can, and help you recover maximum value through resale or responsible reuse. This reduces overall technology refresh costs and supports sustainable practices.

Device Recovery

From full-service decommissioning and packing of assets to onsite scanning and reliable pickups, Tech Defenders protects and collects your corporate IT devices – even from a remote workforce – and gets them to our facilities for expert processing.

Deployment / Redeployment

Our reliable logistics, complete with impact-resistant packing and proof of delivery (POD), ensure on-time delivery of employee hardware ready for immediate use. After refurbishment, some clients wish to add these devices back to their active inventory, to be sent out as loaners or for full-time use. Our redeployment services help you extend the life of your existing assets and maximize the ROI on those investments.

Inventory Storage

Tech Defenders provides secure, documented storage for IT assets at any stage of the lifecycle. Devices are stored in secure, climate controlled environments with serialized tracking, condition status, and retrieval readiness. Whether assets are awaiting redeployment, resale, repair, or final disposition, you maintain full visibility without consuming on-site space or staff time.

Break / Fix

We diagnose, repair, or triage assets quickly, determining whether they should be returned to service, redeployed, reclaimed for parts, or retired. This reduces downtime, lowers replacement costs, and maximizes the value of every device already owned.

Do you offer onsite hard drive shredding?

Yes. Our portable shredder can be deployed to your facility for immediate, auditable destruction.

Can you manage assets from multiple locations?

We specialize in coordinated multi-site pickups, enterprise relocations, and reverse logistics.

What compliance standards do you meet?

We operate under R2v3, NIST 800-88, ISO 9001/14001/45001, and support HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, and GDPR compliance needs.

What happens to devices after destruction or resale?

All material is routed through R2v3-certified downstream vendors to ensure responsible recycling or reuse.

Can you store our devices securely before they are wiped, recycled, or redeployed?

Yes. We offer secure, controlled on-site storage within our gated, access-controlled facility. Assets remain serialized and fully trackable until they are processed, destroyed, remarketed, or redeployed based on your project's requirements.

Do you provide audit-ready documentation for compliance teams?

Absolutely. Every project includes reconciliation reports, serialized asset audits, certificates of data destruction, and environmental impact summaries. These are structured to support internal audits as well as regulatory requirements across HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, GDPR, and other frameworks.

Can we receive reporting that aligns with our ESG or sustainability initiatives?

Yes. Our environmental impact reporting quantifies CO₂ savings, e-waste diversion, material recovery, and total downstream impact. Many clients use this data directly in ESG reporting and internal sustainability benchmarks.

They've in many ways exceeded expectations, and I think it speaks to the importance that Tech Defenders places on their reputation, customer service, service excellence, and their word.

We were able to maximize our buyback value, and still provide an opportunity for our graduating seniors, students, and community members to purchase used devices at a discounted price.

I am currently in the process of doing a second buyback deal with Tech Defenders. It's a great way to get some money back into the school district for use towards other needed purchases and reducing dated unused inventory that is taking up space.

Lee Robertson

Bowie Independent School District

Great experience from beginning to end. Communication was constant throughout the entire process. To top it off, we were offered more for our devices once they were inventoried by Tech Defenders. We would definitely use Tech Defenders in the future for our device buybacks.
