Where are they?
IT asset disposition (ITAD) is the documented retirement of end-of-life IT equipment: collecting it, destroying the data on it, recovering what still has value, and recycling the rest through an authorised channel, with a record at every handover.
PrivAce Technologies provides ITAD for companies across India from its office in Andheri East, Mumbai. We destroy the data on every media-bearing device before anything is resold or recycled, pay you for what has value, and issue the certificates for your compliance file. We are the Enterprise ITAD Division of Greenlife Ewaste Recycling Pvt. Ltd., so collection, data destruction, buyback and recycling stay within one company.
These organisations have been served through Greenlife Ewaste Recycling Pvt. Ltd., our MPCB-authorised, ISO-certified parent company.
Old devices still contain sensitive data, even after deletion or reformatting.
Improper disposal creates audit risk and regulatory exposure under the E-Waste Rules.
Unused assets sitting in storerooms still hold recoverable value that’s quietly being lost.
Four services that run as one documented process, not four separate vendors and four separate paper trails.
End-to-end retirement of laptops, desktops, servers, and networking equipment.

Structured buyback for bulk device refresh cycles, paid before pickup.
Learn moreEvery step documented, so the answer to “what happened to that device?” is a record, not a recollection. Payment comes before pickup, not after.
Send photos and a rough list: device types, brands, quantity, condition and location. WhatsApp is fine. No inventory spreadsheet needed.
Our team visits to inspect the equipment and survey the site. The assessment is free, for companies and for individuals.
You receive a written, itemised quotation. Small lots are often priced on the spot.
Once you accept, the agreed amount is credited to your account before anything leaves your premises.
We collect with a signed Form 6 manifest, destroy the data, and issue your Certificate of E-Waste Recycling within 7 working days.
In that order, because that’s the order your risk actually runs in.
If it plugged in and served your business, send us the list. Dead and locked units go in the same pickup.
Working business laptops three to five years old usually recover 10% to 25% of their original purchase price. A ₹60,000 laptop at about three years old is typically worth around ₹15,000. A machine that cost ₹80,000 to ₹90,000 new usually fetches ₹8,000 to ₹15,000 after three to five years. The final figure depends on quantity, model and configuration, physical condition and how well the machines were maintained. Dead, locked or water-damaged units are worth close to scrap, and we still collect them.
Customer financial data on a retired laptop is a regulator’s first question, not a hypothetical.
ITAD for Banking & NBFCs
High device turnover and high call-data sensitivity: disposal has to keep pace with your refresh cycle.
ITAD for BPOs & Call Centres
Source code, client credentials and internal tools: the assets on your machines are your product.
ITAD for IT Services & GCCs
Compliance-driven environments where audit trails aren’t optional, they’re expected.
ITAD for Pharma & Life Sciences
Same data sensitivity as banking, same scrutiny, same need for certified proof.
ITAD for Insurance
Patient records on retired workstations and imaging systems need destruction you can prove.
ITAD for Hospitals & Healthcare
Computer labs retire in batches, and student records are at risk if not handled correctly.
ITAD for Schools & Colleges
Plant PCs, scanners and office IT from one site, collected with the paperwork your auditors expect.
ITAD for Manufacturing
Handheld scanners, label printers and depot PCs retired across many locations, documented as one job.
ITAD for LogisticsHeld by our parent company, Greenlife Ewaste Recycling Pvt. Ltd., whose Waluj MIDC plant is MPCB-authorised to process 660 MT of e-waste a year. Select any credential to see the document.
Banks, insurers and regulated firms often have an information security policy that forbids media leaving site. We bring destruction equipment to your premises, your team witnesses it, and the certificates are issued before we leave.
Where that isn’t required, drives travel under a signed manifest to our parent company’s MPCB-authorised plant at Waluj MIDC and are certified within 2 working days.
Every job leaves a paper trail your IT, audit and sustainability teams can use. See redacted samples before you commit.

These are the four points that come up in every comparison a client runs before choosing us.
Once the valuation is agreed, the amount is credited to your company account before the equipment leaves your premises. The industry norm is the reverse: hand over the assets, then wait to be paid on a valuation you can no longer verify.
It also solves an internal problem. Finance teams are rarely comfortable approving the removal of company assets against a promise. When the credit has landed, the sign-off is simple.
Every unit is individually identified and assessed: model, generation, processor, RAM, storage, screen and battery condition. A per-kilo rate is a rate where nobody looked, and on a modern fleet it is almost always worse for you.
Erasure or destruction happens first: before grading, before resale, before dismantling. A device is never handled as saleable stock while your data is still on it.

Most companies are not choosing between two vendors. They are choosing between a transaction and a process.

| When you are paid | After collection, if at all | Before pickup, once the price is agreed |
| Data on drives | Buyer’s discretion | Wiped, degaussed or shredded first, with certificates |
| Where the equipment ends up | Untracked | MPCB-authorised recycler, named on the paperwork |

| Recoverable value | Immediate cash, unverified basis | Assessed per device after data destruction |
| What an auditor sees | A gap in the disposal control | A dated document trail |
This compares process, not operators. Plenty of authorised recyclers do careful work: the difference that matters is whether the disposal leaves a record you can produce twelve months later.
IT asset disposition is the process of retiring IT equipment in a way that leaves a record. It covers four things in sequence: collecting the equipment, destroying the data on media-bearing devices, recovering resale value where any exists, and recycling the remainder through a pollution-control-board-authorised facility. E-waste pickup covers only the last of those four. The difference that matters to a regulated business is documentation: who took the equipment, when, and where it went.
Ask for four things before you sign anything. One: the recycler’s current pollution-control-board authorisation, with the expiry date and the categories it covers. Two: what documentation you receive at the point of collection, not weeks afterwards. Three: what happens to media-bearing devices, described specifically: software erasure, degaussing, physical shredding, or a combination. Four: what certificate you receive after processing, and at what level of detail. A vendor who cannot answer all four in writing is asking you to take the disposal on trust.
You can, and for a household it is fine. For a company it creates two exposures. The first is data: once the equipment leaves your premises without a wipe or destruction step, you have no way to establish what happened to the drives inside it. The second is the audit trail: under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, a bulk consumer must hand e-waste only to a registered producer, refurbisher or recycler, and should be able to show it. An informal sale produces cash and no evidence. The gap usually surfaces at the worst possible moment: during an ISO 27001 surveillance audit, a customer security review, or a regulator’s information request.
It means one of three physical outcomes, followed by a record. The storage media is overwritten using certified erasure software so the original data cannot be reconstructed; or it is degaussed, destroying the magnetic domains that hold the data; or it is physically shredded into fragments. Deleting files and reformatting a drive do none of these: both leave the underlying data recoverable with freely available tools. The international reference point for media sanitisation is NIST Special Publication 800-88, which separates the outcomes into Clear, Purge and Destroy. See our hard drive destruction page for how each method applies to HDDs versus SSDs.
We usually reply within 1 to 2 working hours. In Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Pune the free onsite assessment usually happens within 24 to 48 hours; other cities are scheduled by appointment. The written quotation follows within 1 to 2 working days of the inspection, and pickup within 1 to 3 working days of the agreed price, anywhere in India. Data destruction certificates are issued the same day when the work is done onsite, or within 2 working days offsite, and the Certificate of E-Waste Recycling within 7 working days of pickup.
Yes. Servers, storage arrays, switches, racks and UPS units are collected and documented in the same way, though the drive counts involved are far higher: a single storage array can hold more data-bearing media than an entire floor of laptops. See server decommissioning.
Running a scheduled refresh, decommissioning a floor, or clearing a storeroom that has been accumulating for years. You want one coordinated pickup, not four vendor calls.
Preparing for an ISO 27001 surveillance audit, a customer security review, or an internal control test where the IT asset disposal record is in scope.
You own the physical space and the vendor relationship. You need the equipment gone, the paperwork filed, and no surprise costs on the invoice.
Use a documented ITAD process when the equipment held company or customer data, when your organisation faces an information-security audit or a customer security review, or when you are a bulk consumer under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. Individuals selling one or two devices get the same free assessment and the same data destruction.
After six months of chasing vendors who either lowballed or disappeared, they found one team to value, pay for and collect everything, while keeping their own hard disks.

All 497 citiesSecurity is why clients call us. Sustainability is what happens to the equipment afterwards, and it is measurable, not decorative.
The greenest outcome for a retired laptop is not recycling it. It is putting it back into use. Recycling recovers materials but destroys the manufacturing energy already embodied in the device; reuse preserves it. That is why our sequence assesses every unit for reuse before anything is dismantled, and why data destruction comes first, so reuse never comes at the cost of security.
What cannot be reused is dismantled and separated into material streams at our parent company’s MPCB-authorised facility at Waluj MIDC: a plant with 660 MT/A of authorised e-waste processing capacity. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals, circuit boards, plastics and cabling are each routed to the correct downstream channel. Batteries and lamps are separated and handled under their own waste categories rather than going out as general e-waste.
Every device is assessed for redeployment or resale after its data is destroyed. Materials are only recovered from equipment that genuinely has no working life left.
All material is processed at an MPCB-authorised facility operating under a current Consent to Operate, valid to 30 September 2028, with ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification.
India’s informal e-waste sector recovers metals through open burning and acid leaching, with serious health and groundwater consequences. A documented channel is the only way to be sure your equipment did not end up there.
Your Certificate of E-Waste Recycling records the quantity processed through an authorised channel: the documentary basis for the e-waste line in a sustainability or BRSR report.
We do not publish carbon-offset figures or landfill-diversion percentages. Those numbers are easy to assert and hard to verify, and we would rather give you a certificate you can audit than a statistic you cannot.
PrivAce Technologies buys back, wipes and recycles old IT equipment for companies across India. We collect laptops, desktops, servers, storage and networking gear, destroy the data with certified methods, pay you for anything with resale value, and recycle the rest at our parent company’s MPCB-authorised plant. PrivAce is the Enterprise ITAD Division of Greenlife Ewaste Recycling Pvt. Ltd., with its office in Andheri East, Mumbai.
Every media-bearing device goes through certified data destruction before any resale or recycling: software wiping with Blancco or BitRaser, degaussing, or physical shredding, depending on the media and your policy. You receive a certificate as proof.
You send photos and a rough list of the equipment. We visit to inspect it, free of charge, for companies and individuals. A written quotation follows within 1 to 2 working days. Once you accept, the agreed amount is credited to your account, and we pick up within 1 to 3 working days.
Yes. The agreed amount reaches your account before anything leaves your premises. Most buyers in this market pay after collection, or offer credit against future purchases. We do it the other way round so you carry no risk.
Working business laptops three to five years old usually recover 10% to 25% of their original price. A ₹60,000 laptop at about three years is typically worth around ₹15,000. Quantity, model, configuration, condition and upkeep decide where your lot falls. Dead or locked units are close to scrap value, and we still collect them.
Laptops, desktops, servers, storage, networking gear, printers, monitors, phones, tablets and UPS units, in any condition: working, non-working or mixed. Batteries are handled separately under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022.
All of India. We have served 497 cities from our office in Andheri East, Mumbai. Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Pune get free pickup. Every other city is served on assessment and quotation, with the same data destruction process and the same documents.
A signed Form 6 e-waste manifest at pickup. Data destruction certificates the same day when the work is done at your premises, or within 2 working days when it is done at the facility. A Certificate of E-Waste Recycling within 7 working days of pickup.
Yes. We wipe, degauss or shred drives at your premises while your team watches, and the certificates are issued before we leave. Banks and insurers often require this because their policy does not let media leave the building.
No. We take a single laptop from an individual and 1,000+ unit refreshes from companies, working or not.
We are built around the whole IT retirement: certified data destruction and compliance documentation come first, with buyback and authorised recycling in the same job. A recycler usually takes the material and issues a recycling certificate; it rarely buys working equipment or proves what happened to each drive.
Yes. Recycling runs at the Waluj MIDC plant of our parent company, Greenlife Ewaste Recycling Pvt. Ltd., which holds MPCB Consent to Operate valid to 30 September 2028 with 660 MT/A authorised capacity, and ISO 27001, 9001, 14001 and 45001 certification.
