About asset disposal
Asset disposal is the process of decommissioning, removing, and writing off an asset (physical, digital, or financial) from your operational environment and financial records.
Typical steps to consider are:
Request and identification: Identify the asset for disposal based on end-of-life (EOL), damage, obsolescence, or lease expiration. Verify serial/tag numbers against the Asset register.
Authorisation and valuation: Obtain sign-off from asset owners and finance. Assess current book value, salvage/market value, and select the disposal route (resale, trade-in, donation, recycling, or destruction).
Decommissioning and data sanitisation: Safely decouple the asset from production. For IT hardware, purge or destroy storage media to compliance standards and issue a Certificate of Destruction.
Execution and environmental transfer: Hand over the asset to certified recycling/e-waste vendors, buyers, or auctioneers. Ensure compliance with environmental regulations (for example, e-waste laws).
Disposing moves the asset to the Disposed assets tab in the Asset register and ends future workflows, while keeping the asset's full history available. The disposal action and your comment are recorded in the System event history.
