Equipment with residual value
When Retired Equipment Still Has Significant Value
Other companies specialize in asset management, resale and remarketing. We do not. Our focus is recycling, decommissioning, secure removal and data destruction — and when equipment carries significant residual value, we can work with qualified partners.
What we do, and what we hand to specialists
DS Services is a recycling, decommissioning and data destruction company. We provide the labor and logistics to disconnect, remove, pack, load and securely transport equipment, destroy the data it carries, recycle it responsibly and document the whole project.
Resale and remarketing are a different business, and other firms do it well. If a decommissioning turns up equipment with significant residual value — recent servers, enterprise storage, networking gear or specialized instrumentation — we can bring in a qualified partner rather than pretend it is our specialty. Data is destroyed and documented before any equipment changes hands, and anything without a market goes straight to responsible recycling.
How a project runs
Assess → Inventory → Remove → Destroy Data → Refer Value → Recycle & Document
- 01
Assess
We scope the project: what equipment is there, where it sits and how it comes out.
- 02
Inventory
Assets are recorded by make, model, configuration and serial number as they are removed.
- 03
Remove
We handle the labor and logistics — disconnect, pack, load and securely transport.
- 04
Destroy Data
Data-bearing media is destroyed or sanitized and documented before anything moves on.
- 05
Refer Value
Where equipment carries significant residual value, we can bring in a qualified resale partner.
- 06
Recycle & Document
Everything else is responsibly recycled, with final reporting and certificates.
