How to dispose end-of-life University IT equipment safely and responsibly

Method

  1. If the equipment is in working order and receiving security support then you should advertise it for reuse through the University of Oxford WarpIT scheme or via ITSS channels. Remember that data sanitisation is required even if the equipment will be reused within the University. If the equipment is not suitable for redeployment or there are no takers then continue to the next steps...

  2. Contact Stone Technologies Ltd to arrange a collection date, location and logistics. You will be asked to complete and return an Asset Re-use, Recycling and Disposal Request Form

  3. Check that the Asset Transfer Note accurately records the equipment collected. This should be provided on collection of the equipment

  4. Check that the Asset Report and Data Erasure Certification are complete and cover all relevant assets. This should be provided within 28 days of collection
