Outdated computers, printers, networking equipment, cables, and other technology can quickly accumulate as businesses upgrade their systems. Simply throwing unwanted electronics away can create unnecessary environmental concerns while leaving organizations responsible for determining how retired equipment should be handled.

Protect-N-Shred, Inc. provides IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services to help businesses securely and responsibly recycle unwanted IT equipment. From computers and printers to networking devices, copiers, cables, and more, our team provides a convenient solution for organizations looking to clear out obsolete technology while taking a responsible approach to electronic waste.

As a locally owned company serving Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, Protect-N-Shred combines responsive service with secure information destruction and responsible recycling solutions. Since 2005, we have helped businesses and organizations better manage confidential information and unwanted materials.

What Is IT Asset Disposition?

IT Asset Disposition, commonly referred to as ITAD, is the process of responsibly managing technology that is no longer needed, useful, or in service.

Businesses regularly replace computers, printers, networking equipment, and other technology as their operational needs change. Instead of allowing obsolete equipment to accumulate in storage rooms or treating it as ordinary waste, an ITAD program provides a structured way to manage unwanted technology.

Protect-N-Shred helps organizations securely and responsibly recycle eligible IT equipment, providing a convenient solution for businesses that need to clear out outdated technology.

IT Equipment We Accept for Recycling

Protect-N-Shred securely and responsibly recycles a variety of unwanted IT equipment, including:

  • Computers
  • Printers
  • Copiers
  • Cables
  • Networking devices
  • Other eligible IT equipment

Whether your organization is replacing aging technology, consolidating equipment, or clearing out stored electronics, our ITAD service can help you manage unwanted equipment responsibly.

Protect Your Data Before Disposing of IT Equipment

Retired technology can contain sensitive information long after it has been removed from active use. Computers and other electronic devices may contain confidential business information, customer records, financial information, employee data, or proprietary files.

IT asset disposition should therefore be considered alongside secure data destruction.

Protect-N-Shred provides hard-drive and electronic media destruction for organizations that need to destroy confidential data stored on physical media. Our electronic media destruction services include hard drives, flash drives, CDs/DVDs, floppy disks, backup tapes, security tapes, VHS, cassettes, and other electronic media.

Keeping ITAD and data destruction needs in the same information-management program can help organizations better control retired technology from removal through final disposition.

Hard-Drive & Electronic Media Destruction

Deleting files or removing a device from service does not eliminate the need to properly manage the information stored on it.

Protect-N-Shred provides secure destruction of hard drives and other electronic storage media, helping organizations prevent confidential information from remaining accessible on retired devices. Our electronic media destruction services include:

  • Hard drives
  • Flash drives
  • CDs and DVDs
  • Floppy disks
  • Backup tapes
  • Security tapes
  • VHS tapes
  • Cassettes
  • Other electronic media

For organizations retiring computers and other equipment, secure media destruction can complement ITAD services by addressing the confidential information contained within the equipment.
