Kefron provides certified IT asset disposal (ITAD) across Ireland, tracking every device from collection to final outcome, with a serialised certificate of destruction for each data-bearing device.

Security and Compliance You Can Trust

Under GDPR, your organisation remains responsible for personal data on retired devices until it is verifiably destroyed, so the burden of proof sits with you, not your disposal provider. A disposal invoice is not evidence of compliance; a serialised certificate of destruction for each device is. Kefron’s documentation is structured for audit and regulatory review.

Frequently asked questions:

What is IT Asset Disposal (ITAD)?

IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) is the secure process of decommissioning, wiping, recycling, or reselling old IT equipment such as laptops, servers, and hard drives. For organisations in Ireland, the goal is to protect sensitive data, comply with GDPR and the WEEE Regulations, and reduce environmental impact through responsible recycling and reuse.

Why is IT asset disposal important for businesses?

Proper IT asset disposal protects your organisation from data breaches, non-compliance fines, and environmental harm. It ensures confidential information is securely destroyed and supports sustainability goals through refurbishment or recycling of IT equipment. 

What types of IT equipment require disposal? 

ITAD applies to all electronic assets, including: 

  • Laptops, desktops, and tablets 
  • Servers and network hardware 
  • Printers, scanners, and peripherals 
  • Hard drives, SSDs, and removable media 
  • Mobile phones and office electronics

Kefron and its certified ITAD partner ensure secure disposal and full traceability for every item.

How does IT asset disposal work?

A certified ITAD process typically includes: 

  1. Inventory assessment and equipment collection
  2. Secure data erasure or hard drive shredding
  3. Refurbishment, resale, or recycling of assets 
  4. Detailed reporting and certificates of destruction

Kefron guarantees full compliance, secure logistics, and complete documentation for audit purposes. 

How is data securely destroyed during ITAD?

Data is destroyed using certified methods such as cryptographic erasure, certified wiping, degaussing or physical shredding, depending on the device. Every data-bearing device receives a serialised certificate of destruction recording its serial number, the method used and the date.

What regulations apply to IT asset disposal?

In Ireland, IT asset disposal is governed by GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (overseen by the Data Protection Commission), the EU WEEE Directive as implemented by the European Union (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014, and relevant ISO standards such as ISO 27001 for information security. Kefron’s ITAD process is designed to meet these requirements, and all recycling is carried out within the EU in line with EU environmental directives.

Is IT asset disposal legally required in Ireland?

Not by name, but the obligations behind it are. GDPR requires personal data on retired devices to be securely and verifiably destroyed, and the burden of proof sits with your organisation as data controller. The WEEE Regulations require electronic equipment to be treated by an authorised facility. Using a certified ITAD provider is the most reliable way to evidence both.

How secure is the IT asset disposal process?

All assets are transported in GPS-tracked vehicles, processed in certified secure facilities, and tracked through a full chain of custody. This ensures that your business IT disposal process is fully secure, transparent, and compliant from collection to final recycling. 

How long should ITAD records be kept?

Most organisations keep certificates of destruction and chain-of-custody records for six to seven years, in line with typical audit and regulatory review periods. Your own data retention policy should set the exact period. Kefron’s documentation is structured for long-term audit use.

Can IT assets be reused or resold?

Yes. Once data destruction is verified, functional IT equipment is refurbished and resold through certified resale channels, recovering up to 30% of original value on eligible assets. Equipment that can’t be resold is recycled within the EU. Learn more about IT equipment resale and value recovery.

How environmentally friendly is IT asset disposal?

Kefron follows a zero landfill policy, with less than 1% of materials sent to landfill.
Reusable components are repaired or repurposed, while the rest are recycled in compliance with EU environmental standards, supporting your ESG and sustainability goals. 

What documentation do I receive after ITAD?

Every ITAD collection includes:

  • A serialised certificate of destruction for every data-bearing device (serial number, method and date)
  • A chain-of-custody record from collection to final outcome
  • WEEE compliance documentation
  • A full disposal report showing every asset and its outcome (resold, recycled or destroyed)
  • A value recovery statement where equipment is resold

Together, these give you verifiable proof of compliance for audits and sustainability reporting.

Does Kefron offer on-site data destruction?

Yes. On-site hard drive shredding is available for organisations that need drives destroyed before anything leaves their premises. See hard drive destruction and shredding for details.

Why should I choose a certified ITAD provider like Kefron?

Working with a certified IT asset disposal provider keeps your organisation compliant and protected. Kefron works with an ISO-certified, GDPR-compliant ITAD partner, so every asset is processed securely, sustainably and in line with international standards, with full documentation for your audit trail.

What happens to software and licenses during ITAD?

Software and licenses are deactivated or transferred according to vendor policies. This prevents licence misuse and ensures your business remains compliant after hardware retirement. 

How can IT asset disposal support corporate sustainability goals?

By prioritising reuse and recycling, ITAD helps organisations reduce carbon emissions, minimise e-waste, and extend the life of valuable materials. Kefron’s process aligns with zero landfill policies and supports companies aiming for ESG certification and green IT practices.

Where does Kefron provide IT asset disposal?

Kefron collects IT equipment anywhere in Ireland, from single-office clear-outs to multi-site decommissions and ongoing refresh programmes. All recycling is carried out within the EU. Get in touch to confirm volumes and lead times for your location.
