The Process for Philadelphia Customers
Pickup & Inventory
Each Philadelphia asset is barcoded at pickup and reconciled against the customer's own asset list, using sealed totes for laptops and drives and Gaylord boxes for higher-volume loads.
Data Sanitization
Drives are processed under NIST 800-88 Rev. 1, using Clear, Purge, or physical destruction depending on policy. Any drive that fails a wipe attempt goes to the shredder instead.
Value Recovery
Eligible servers, laptops, switches, and lab equipment are graded and remarketed through vetted channels, with proceeds shared back on a net-30 basis.
Reporting
A certificate of destruction is typically available within 24 hours. The fuller compliance package follows within 10 business days, ready for an audit binder.
