A Bath office clearance may combine confidential paper with old computers and loose storage media. Planning each stream separately helps avoid losing track of a drive among non-data-bearing equipment or releasing documents that should be retained.
Check the archive decision
Confirm which paper records have reached the end of their retention period and who has authorised disposal. Estimate the number of boxes or containers, where they are stored and whether access requires a particular collection time. Ask about confidential paper shredding for the quantity and location.
Inventory the IT assets
Record laptops, desktops, removable drives, printers and any other device that may hold information. Decide whether suitable equipment is intended for reuse or whether its media should be destroyed. A printer or failed laptop may need additional checks before disposal. Our printer disposal guide covers common questions about storage and settings, and storage media destruction covers loose tapes, discs and flash media.
Request the right records
Say whether you need a batch receipt, serial-number list or other evidence, and how the records will be reconciled with your own inventory. Give the Bath collection postcode and site access details so we can confirm a suitable service. This page does not represent a walk-in location or fixed turnaround time.
