HOME PAGE Computer Disposal Solutions, Inc. (CDS) was created in response to the wave of new legislation governing the transfer or disposal of computer equipment. CDS ‘s purpose is to implement Standards and Procedures within an organization that would direct people through the process of moving equipment from one location or employee to another, or the termination of equipment through sale, donation, or scarping. Are you aware that current laws and regulations governing the movement and termination of computer equipment carry fines of up to $250,000 under HIPAA and prison sentences from 5 years under Gramm-Leach-Bliley to 20 years under Sarbanes-Oxley. Additionally, the EPA and Superfund can impose legal and civil penalties for the illegal dumping of computer equipment in land fills, even if your company had contracted a vendor to dispose of computer equipment for you. Without certification that work was performed in accordance to existing laws and regulations your firm is liable to be prosecuted (sometimes even years after the event). CDS’s goal is to implement standards and procedures governing computer movement, termination, donation, and scraping services that are in compliance with the laws and regulations governing your business and its industry. As a result of these procedures, it will be possible to generate a list of surplus equipment that is ready to be donated (charity or employee), scrapped, or sold. CDS’s services extend to include the refurbishing, servicing, data wipe, transportation, and resale of surplus computer equipment. Your company can save through CDS’s service by income generated through the sale of surplus equipment, the reduction of floor space used to support surplus equipment, and through improved employee productivity.
