What Is ITAD?
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is the secure, compliant process of retiring end-of-life IT equipment. Unlike basic electronics recycling, ITAD encompasses the full lifecycle — from asset auditing and certified data destruction to remarketing functional equipment and responsibly recycling what remains.
For Katy businesses in energy, healthcare, education, and other sectors, proper ITAD eliminates data breach risk, ensures regulatory compliance, and often recovers value from retired assets. EverTrade's Sugar Land facility is just 25 min from Katy, near Katy Mills Mall.
