Reuse: the pinnacle of recycling
Securely erasing data to recover and repurpose IT equipment
The first principle of recycling at Sircel is reuse. This philosophy truly comes to life in our ITAD department.
Our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) department securely erases data from decommissioned IT Assets in preparation for reuse or redeployment. Assets that cannot be recovered are recycled, in-house, down to <1mm fractions.
Our ITAD clients are from various industries. They generally require 100% secure data destruction, certificates of data sanitisation, and maximum return on their retired IT assets.
We deploy Blancco Drive Eraser to all IT assets containing storage media devices, to the erasure standard that a client chooses. For example, NIST Purge/Clear, DoD 5220.22-M/ECE, BSI-GS/GSE or the new IEEE 2883-2022. Each erasure is verified, with digitally signed certificates which we issue to our clients. We also guarantee fair market value (FMV) on all repurposed end-user computing devices such as laptops, desktop PCs, unlocked mobile devices, and tablets. What we can’t repurpose, we securely destroy and recycle in-house, right here in Australia. Then we redirect the valuable commodities back into the circular economy.
No other ITAD provider in Australia offers such a comprehensive and truly circular service.

We are the only ITAD provider in Australia who can promise:
Up to
100%
Diverted From Landfill
- In-house recycling
- Australian-owned and operated
- Large-scale mechanical recycling equipment that reduces unusable IT assets to <1mm
Our Process :
We offer secure transport and certified data erasure of your decommissioned computing devices. Every step is completed in-country, with a full audit trail and protection of your data as our top priorities.
1Secure collection and transport: our team will collect your decommissioned IT assets and securely transport them to one of our facilities.
2Globally recognised data erasure software: we use Blancco Drive Eraser to securely erase data which has been evaluated and certified for use by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC). Clients who request Data Sanitisation will be issued with a digitally signed Blancco Data Erasure Certificate.
3Recovery & Repurpose: Only IT Assets which meet our stringent tests will be repurposed either via donation to a charity or re-sold to an approved broker.
4Recycled in-house: IT assets which do not meet our guidelines are processed through our world-leading proprietary recycling system and reduced to <1mm fractions making data leakage impossible.
Our ITAD team
James is also personally and professionally committed to protecting the environment by diverting e-waste from landfill.
ITAD is fully integrated across our departments at Sircel, with all appropriate ITAD assets coming in to our dedicated ITAD space after triage.
Choosing the right ITAD partner
If you are looking for a safe and secure way of securely disposing of unwanted or end-of-life (EOL) IT Assets then, Sircel is the right choice for you. You may already have a shortlist of ITAD partners who provide data sanitisation services, and the only difference between them all is their price point, but there are more important things to consider when choosing an IT Asset Disposition partner.
Before you commit to a partnership, ask your ITAD partner:
- What is your current Environmental Strategy?
- How long does your asset recovery process take?
- Do you resell assets? If so, who to?
- How do you track end-of-life assets?
- What data sanitisation method(s) do you use?
- What do you do with unrecoverable IT Assets?
Their answers may surprise you.
