Your Asset Disposition Questions, Answered.

Learn how to start an ITAD, equipment recovery, data destruction, or recycling project.

01Do I need a complete inventory to begin?

No. Share your site, equipment types, target date, and any list or photos you have.

02What is included in ITAD?

An ITAD project can include inventory, pickup, approved data handling, resale assessment, recycling, and final reporting. The agreed scope defines what is included.

03Can equipment take different paths?

Yes. Some assets may be reused or assessed for resale, while others are recycled. Data-bearing devices still follow your approved security plan.

04How is data handled?

We identify devices that hold data and agree on sanitization or destruction requirements before they leave your site.

05Will I recover value from my equipment?

Some equipment may have secondary-market value. A valuation is an assessment, not a guaranteed sale or payout.

06Can you recycle every electronic item?

Not automatically. We review equipment type, batteries, data, condition, and the receiving provider before confirming pickup.

07What reports will I receive?

The project scope defines the asset, custody, processing, and final disposition records you will receive.

08Can TALC work with my move partner?

Yes. We can define the technology equipment scope and coordinate roles with your relocation or property team.

09Where does TALC work?

Our primary coverage is San Francisco and the Bay Area. Ask us about another location before planning a project there.

10What should I send first?

Send your location, equipment list or photos, target date, and any data-security or access requirements.
