Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my data during the ITAD process?
All storage media undergoes data sanitization in accordance with NIST SP 800-88, or physical destruction, before any further processing. You receive a Certificate of Data Destruction listing each device by serial number.
Do you provide pickup services across Canada?
Yes. Advanced Skytech Canada provides secure, GPS-tracked collection services across Canada. Contact us to arrange a scheduled pickup at your location.
What certifications does Advanced Skytech Canada hold?
We are R2 certified and ISO 14001, ISO 9001, and ISO 45001 registered. Full certification documentation is available on request.
How long does the ITAD process take?
Typical ITAD projects are completed within 5–10 business days of asset collection. Final reports and Certificates of Destruction are delivered through the customer portal upon project completion.
Can we recover value from our retired IT assets?
In many cases, yes. Our remarketing team assesses your asset list and provides an upfront value recovery estimate before the project begins. Recovered value is credited against your service invoice.
Is our data ever processed outside Canada?
