Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Microcad's IT Asset Disposition services.
What is IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)?
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is the secure, compliant process of retiring end-of-life IT equipment — covering certified data destruction, value recovery through remarketing, and responsible recycling. Microcad manages the entire ITAD lifecycle for Canadian enterprises, government, and institutions.
Is your data destruction certified?
Yes. We perform NIST 800-88 compliant data erasure and physical shredding, and issue a serialized certificate of destruction for every drive, giving you audit-ready proof of compliance.
What certifications and standards does Microcad follow?
Our ITAD process follows R2v3 responsible recycling standards and NIST 800-88 data sanitization guidelines. Microcad is a BBB-accredited Canadian company operating since 1991.
What regions does Microcad serve?
We provide ITAD services across Canada, with secure logistics and full chain of custody from your facility to our processing centres. Our head office is in London, Ontario.
How does value recovery work?
We audit your retired hardware to identify units suitable for remarketing, then resell them through our global secondary-market channels — turning aging equipment into recovered capital instead of a disposal cost.
Can you handle data centre decommissioning?
Yes. We offer turnkey decommissioning with professional de-installation crews, secure transport, and serialized inventory tracking — for projects ranging from a single office to data centres with thousands of assets.
What happens to equipment that can't be resold?
Anything beyond reuse is processed under strict zero-landfill, R2v3-compliant recycling, and you receive environmental and compliance reporting for your ESG and audit needs.
