Press Release

SACRAMENTO, CA - May 1, 2026

Datacate, Inc., a Sacramento-area managed IT services provider and data center operator, today announced the launch of its free IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services for businesses seeking a secure, compliant, and cost-effective way to retire surplus IT hardware.

The new offering enables organizations to safely dispose of large quantities of outdated or decommissioned equipment—including desktops, laptops, servers, storage systems, network devices, and peripherals—without incurring disposal fees. Datacate’s ITAD services are designed to eliminate risk, ensure compliance, and simplify the logistics of large-scale hardware retirement.

Datacate’s ITAD program includes:

  • Secure data destruction through bulk data erasure and physical drive shredding
  • Comprehensive asset tracking and documentation for audit and compliance purposes
  • Environmentally responsible e-recycling in accordance with applicable regulations
  • Certificates of disposition validating proper handling and destruction of assets

To further streamline the process, Datacate offers free pickup of qualified asset lots throughout Northern California. Organizations outside the region can take advantage of flexible logistics options, including LTL freight, boxed shipments, and palletized transport, ensuring accessibility for businesses nationwide.

“Improper disposal of IT equipment isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a serious security and compliance risk,” said a Datacate spokesperson. “We built this program to remove those barriers entirely. Businesses shouldn’t have to choose between doing the right thing and managing costs. With our free ITAD services, they don’t have to.”

This new service builds on Datacate’s established reputation as a customer-first IT partner delivering proactive, secure, and scalable solutions for small and mid-sized businesses. From fully managed IT services and cybersecurity to private cloud infrastructure and colocation in its Sacramento-area data center, Datacate focuses on helping organizations reduce risk, improve performance, and operate with confidence.

Datacate’s infrastructure-driven approach—built on systems it owns and operates—extends naturally into ITAD. By maintaining strict control over handling, processing, and documentation, the company ensures that every asset is managed with the same level of care and accountability as production systems.

“Our clients trust us with their live environments, their data, and their operations,” the spokesperson added. “Extending that trust to end-of-life hardware was the next logical step. This is about closing the loop on IT lifecycle management in a way that’s secure, responsible, and accessible.”

Businesses with large quantities of surplus IT equipment are encouraged to take advantage of this new offering and simplify their hardware retirement process while maintaining full compliance and peace of mind.
