Asset Recovery & Buyback
We assess your retired fleet and pay for the residual value of reusable equipment.
- Per-lot valuation before collection
- Buyout or revenue-share models
- Final reconciliation against intake
Global IT asset disposition
Turn retired IT into recovered value — without the data risk.
We collect end-of-life IT fleets from enterprises worldwide, destroy the data to NIST SP 800-88, and settle the residual value back to you. Every unit is tested, documented, and routed to compliant reuse or recycling.
Sanitisation
Erasure scoped to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, with verification records.
Traceability
Per-device records by serial number — not a single batch sheet.
Cross-border
Documentation structured for non-waste reuse shipments.
Commercial
Residual value assessed per lot and settled on agreed terms.
What we do
Four services, one chain of custody
Most vendors hand your equipment to a third party and lose visibility. We keep collection, sanitisation, value recovery and export on a single documented path.
Certified Data Destruction
Software erasure for working media, physical destruction for everything else.
- NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 workflow
- Degauss, shred or crush for SSD and failed drives
- Certificate per serial number
Refurbishment & Remarketing
Tested, graded and re-deployed into markets where the equipment still has service life.
- Functionality testing before grading
- Age and condition screening by destination
- Supply to refurbishers and distributors
Compliant Logistics
Cross-border movement handled with the paperwork that destination customs expect.
- Consignment and manifest preparation
- Functionality declarations for reuse
- Routing to licensed downstream facilities
How it works
From inventory list to settlement
A typical engagement runs in four stages. Volume, locations and reporting requirements are fixed in writing before anything moves.
Inventory & valuation
Send asset types, quantities, locations and condition. We return a scope and a value indication, with exclusions stated.
Secure collection
Pickup is scheduled around site access. Every unit is logged at handover and the signed manifest stays with the chain of custody.
Sanitisation & testing
Data-bearing media is erased or destroyed to the agreed method. Remaining hardware is tested and graded for reuse.
Settlement & reporting
You receive the disposition pack: intake log, sanitisation records, certificates, and the final value statement.
Accepted assets
What we take
Enterprise IT across the full refresh cycle. Mixed lots are normal — you do not need to sort before collection.
Laptops & desktopsBusiness fleets, any brand
Servers & storageRack, blade, SAN, NAS
NetworkingSwitches, routers, firewalls
Mobile devicesPhones, tablets, rugged units
Monitors & displaysLCD and LED panels
Printers & peripheralsOffice MFPs, scanners
ComponentsBoards, PSUs, memory, drives
Data centre gearDecommissioning projects
Batteries and UPS units follow a separate route.
They are classified as a distinct waste stream in most jurisdictions and are never
mixed into the general hardware lot. Tell us at scoping stage and we will quote them
as a separate line.
Why RUSI
The documentation is the product
Anyone can move boxes. What protects your organisation is the evidence trail that survives an audit, a data incident review, or a customs inspection.
- Serial-level records for every data-bearing device, so a missing unit is visible rather than absorbed into a batch total.
- Sanitisation performed to a named standard, with the method recorded against each drive.
- Export documentation prepared around reuse, not disposal — including functionality declarations where the destination requires them.
- Downstream recycling routed to licensed facilities, with the receiving party identified in the record.
- One commercial counterparty for collection, processing and settlement.
For buyers
Graded supply for refurbishers and distributors
If you operate in a market where refurbished equipment is the practical way to close the digital divide, we supply tested, graded lots with the paperwork your import process actually asks for.
- Functionality-tested units, graded by cosmetic and operational condition.
- Age and specification screening against destination-market limits before shipment.
- Manifest data in the format customs and standards bodies commonly request: brand, model, serial, year of manufacture.
- Mixed or single-category lots, depending on what is available at the time.
Tell us what you are retiring
Send a rough inventory — device types, quantities and locations are enough to start. You will get a scope and a value indication, not a sales call.
