HOW IT WORKS

Six steps. One paper trail.

From the first request to the last certificate, every step is recorded against a reference number you can share with legal, IT, and finance. Here's exactly what happens.

01
REQUEST

Tell us what you have.

Send a rough list — device counts, condition, timing. We reply within one business day with a valuation and a pickup window that fits your calendar. No sales calls, no obligation.

02
BOOK

Confirm the pickup.

You get a reference number the moment your pickup is booked. Everything after this point is tracked against that reference — you can share it with legal, IT, or finance and they all see the same paper trail.

03
COLLECT

We come to you.

Free scheduled pickup across the GTA. Devices are counted, sealed, and signed for at your door. Chain of custody starts the moment they leave your floor — every step recorded, every hand-off logged.

04
WIPE

Data destroyed to standard.

Every drive is wiped to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1. Drives that can't be wiped are physically shredded on-site or at our facility. A technician verifies each serial and attests to the outcome. Nothing recoverable, nothing assumed.

GRADE

Value returned where it exists.

Working devices are graded against live resale values. You see the offer before anything is resold, and settlement runs against any disposal costs. What can't be reused is recycled through responsible downstream channels — never landfill.

CERTIFY

A signed certificate for every device.

You receive a Certificate of Data Destruction per serial number, plus a chain-of-custody summary and — for buyback jobs — a settlement statement. Every document is verifiable at alyco.ca/verify, and everything stays in your client portal for seven years.
