DoIT 02 03 - Disposal of Computer Equipment

Before any UNCP computer equipment may be reassigned to another individual, sold or is disposed of by any other method, the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) must certify the components ready for disposal or reassignment.  There are two primary purposes for this certification: 1) improper disposal of electronic components poses a serious threat to the environment, and 2) the improper preparation of “hard drives” for disposal can lead to inadvertent disclosure of confidential business or personal information, which UNCP may be required to keep confidential as a matter of law (simply formatting the hard drive is not sufficient).

DoIT has procedures in place for the proper preparation and certification that computer equipment is ready for assignment to other personnel or other forms of disposal.  Faculty, staff or departments wishing to assign a computer system to another person, surplus the equipment, or otherwise dispose of the equipment must obtain a certificate of readiness from DoIT.
