What Is IT Asset Disposition?
IT asset disposition (ITAD) is the systematic process of safely disposing of obsolete or unwanted IT equipment in a way that protects sensitive data, complies with environmental regulations, and recovers maximum value. According to NIST Special Publication 800-88, proper media sanitization is a critical component of any IT asset disposition program. High Tide delivers IT asset disposition Connecticut businesses need to meet these requirements with confidence.

IT Asset Value Recovery in Connecticut
One of the key benefits of professional IT asset value recovery is that retired equipment often still has significant market value. Servers, switches, enterprise storage, and recent-vintage laptops can be refurbished and resold rather than scrapped — and the revenue from that resale flows back to you, frequently offsetting the entire cost of your ITAD program. For some refresh projects with current-generation equipment, the math is net-positive: you receive a settlement check rather than an invoice.
How Our Value Recovery Works (Revenue Share, Not Buyback)
It's worth being clear about the model. High Tide does not write you an upfront check for your equipment the way a used-laptop reseller would. Instead, we operate on a revenue-share model: equipment with remaining market value is evaluated, refurbished if needed, and remarketed through our secondary-market channels. When it sells, we share the proceeds with you — typically through a settlement at the end of the project that's applied against your ITAD invoice. For high-value enterprise refreshes, the value recovery often exceeds the disposition costs, resulting in a net check payable to you.
Why revenue share instead of outright buyback? Because honest pricing requires knowing what equipment actually sells for, which we can only determine after it sells. A buyback model forces the buyer to discount aggressively to absorb resale risk — meaning you'd see a worse price than what we can deliver through revenue share. With revenue share, you participate in the actual market outcome.
What Gets Recovered
The strongest value-recovery candidates are recent-generation enterprise gear: servers (1U, 2U, blade), enterprise SSDs and HDDs (after data destruction), networking equipment (switches, firewalls, load balancers), enterprise laptops in good cosmetic condition, and current-model copiers and MFPs. Older equipment, monitors, and most peripherals typically have zero remaining market value and flow into the R2 recycling channel instead. We're transparent about what's expected to recover value before the project starts.
Our team stays current on secondary market values for the equipment categories we move, so the recovery estimates we provide aren't guesswork — they reflect real recent sale prices in our channels.
