Full Decommissioning for
Data Centers
A data center refresh or full decommission means hundreds or thousands of assets, server racks, storage arrays, networking core switches, moving on a tight migration window. eWaste Solutions manages complete decommissioning from pre-project planning through final documentation, serving data centers and enterprise IT operations across Massachusetts and New England.
Scale is the problem. Documentation is the requirement.
Data center decommissions run into scale problems commercial ITAD vendors aren't built for: thousands of drives across storage arrays, rack-mounted servers that need to be pulled and staged on a migration timeline, and networking equipment that has to be inventoried before it's disconnected. Every drive needs a Certificate of Destruction by serial number. Every asset needs to be tracked from rack to disposition. And most decommissions happen against a hard deadline, whether that's a lease expiration, a migration cutover, or a facility closure.

Pre-project asset inventory and planning
A documented count and tagging plan before pickup day, so nothing is missed across racks, SANs, and networking gear.
Per-drive Certificate of Destruction at scale

R2v3 RIOS certified downstream processing
Zero-to-landfill processing with full material tracking, verified through an independently audited program.
Coordination around your migration window
Pickup and decommission scheduled around your cutover date, not run on our own timeline.
