IT asset disposition is a documentation product that happens to involve trucks.
The physical work — collect, wipe, refurbish, recycle — is well understood and widely available. What is not widely available is a record that reconciles to your asset register at serial level and survives an audit two years later, which is the only part of the process anyone will ever ask you about.
Connex runs disposition as a documented chain. Every stage produces a record, the intake audit reconciles against the register you gave us, and the impact figures at the end are calculated from that reconciliation rather than estimated from tonnage.
Capabilities
What the division does.
Scheduled collection
Volume, asset types, locations, and timing agreed in advance, with a packaging standard issued before the first pickup.
Sealed transport
Numbered, sealed collection with a signed transfer of custody and tracked transport to an audited intake facility.
Intake audit
Unit count and serial capture reconciled against the asset register you supplied, with variances reported rather than absorbed.
Data sanitization
Erasure to standard, or physical destruction where policy requires it, with a certificate issued per asset or per batch.
Reuse-first triage
Assets assessed for reuse, refurbishment, parts harvest, or recycling in that order, because reuse returns more than tonnage does.
Impact reporting
Diversion tonnage, reuse rate, and CO₂e avoided calculated from the reconciled intake, in a format your ESG team can publish.
Process
Five stages, each with a document attached.
Schedule
Volume, asset types, locations, and timing agreed; packaging standard and pickup order issued.
Collect and transport
Sealed, numbered collection with signed custody transfer and tracked transport to an audited facility.
Intake audit
Unit count and serial capture reconciled against your register, with an intake reconciliation report issued.
Sanitize
Erasure to standard or physical destruction, with a certificate of sanitization or destruction issued.
Disposition and settlement
Reuse, refurbishment, parts harvest, or certified recycling, followed by a settlement statement and an impact report.
Chain of custody
Eight steps, eight documents, reconciled at serial level.
Program schedule, bill of lading and custody receipt, transport tracking, intake reconciliation, certificate of sanitization or destruction, disposition report by asset, settlement statement, and impact report. The intake reconciliation is the one that matters most: it compares what arrived against the register you gave us and states the variance instead of quietly resolving it.

| Term | Standard position | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Collection | Scheduled, sealed, and numbered | Packaging standard issued before first pickup. |
| Sanitization standard | Agreed at programme setup | Certificate issued per asset or per batch as specified. |
| Destruction | Physical destruction where policy requires | Witnessed destruction available on request. |
| Reporting | Document at every stage | Delivered to you and retained by you, not held on request. |
| Settlement | Resale value returned on agreed split | Calculated per asset from disposition, not estimated. |
| Liability | Custody transfers on signed receipt | Variances reported at intake rather than resolved silently. |
FAQ
Questions IT and ESG teams actually ask.
It is reported as a variance at intake with the serials listed. A processor that silently reconciles a count difference is removing the only evidence you would have needed.
Yes, on request, and it is arranged at programme setup rather than negotiated per collection.
It depends on the asset mix. Reuse-grade assets usually produce a settlement; low-value and hazardous streams carry a processing cost. The split and the basis are agreed before collection.
From the reconciled intake and the recorded disposition per asset, not from an average applied to total weight. That is why they hold up when questioned.
Retention is agreed at programme setup and the documents are delivered to you at each stage, so you are not dependent on our retention policy for your own audit.
