Our Process

How It Works

From your first call to your final closeout report, here's exactly what to expect when you work with Delta. Every step documented. Every device tracked.

1

Discovery & Valuation

We start with a conversation to understand your environment — what equipment you have, how many devices, your timeline, any data security requirements, and whether you're looking for full disposition, value recovery, or both.

Based on what we learn, we provide a written proposal covering scope, pricing, timeline, logistics, and an estimated equipment valuation for any assets with resale potential. No pressure, no obligations.

2

Secure Pickup

Our team arrives on schedule, loads equipment, and begins chain-of-custody documentation on site. Every device is accounted for before it leaves your facility.

We coordinate around your availability and your facility's access requirements. For multi-site organizations, we manage logistics across locations with consistent processes and documentation at each site.

3

Intake & Serialized Logging

At our Alpharetta facility, every device is individually logged by make, model, and serial number. Your inventory is tracked from the moment it arrives through every stage of processing.

This serialized tracking is what separates a professional ITAD process from informal disposal. Every device has a documented record of what happened to it and when.

4

Data Sanitization

All data-bearing devices are sanitized to NIST 800-88 standards. Each device receives an individual wipe certificate. Drives that cannot be wiped due to mechanical failure are escalated for certified physical destruction.

This is the compliance step that protects your organization. The certificate package we deliver is your auditable proof that every drive was handled to federal standards.

5

Testing, Grading & Value Recovery

Sanitized devices with remaining market value are functionally tested, cosmetically graded, and prepared for remarketing. Equipment is packaged into lots optimized for maximum resale value through wholesale, retail, and broker channels.

This is where disposition turns into revenue. Delta's deep experience in the used IT equipment market means we know how to position and price your retired assets for the best possible return.

6

Downstream Processing

Devices with no remaining market value are transferred to R2-certified downstream recycling partners for environmentally responsible processing. Nothing leaves our facility without a documented destination.

Delta maintains full documentation of every downstream handoff, including partner certifications and transfer records. This completes the chain of custody from your facility to final disposition.

7

Closeout Report & Settlement

Within five business days of project completion, you receive a professional closeout package: serialized inventory report, individual wipe certificates for every data-bearing device, downstream documentation, project summary, and a settlement statement for any recovered value.

This package is your auditable proof of compliant, secure IT asset disposition — and your financial record of value recovered from the project. One document set, everything in one place.
