Rack teardown, drive reconciliation, and certified destruction for Glendale server rooms — Westgate and Arrowhead business parks, the Loop 101 / Agua Fria corridor, Luke Air Force Base suppliers, hospital IT, and Glendale's public agencies. One crew handles the unbolting, the data, the transport, and the paperwork.
Business and facility work only — no residential service.
Before a single bolt comes out we record the rack elevation, asset tags, cable runs, and anything still live. In older Glendale server closets the documentation rarely matches reality, and that discrepancy is exactly what audits catch.
Drives are removed, scanned by serial, and matched to your inventory on site. Missing or unexpected media is flagged in writing that day rather than discovered months later.
Media is purged to NIST 800-88 where the hardware will be resold, or shredded under NAID AAA where policy demands destruction. Certificates name the method per serial number.
Racks, rails, PDUs, and cabling are palletized and hauled on a GPS-tracked truck to our Scottsdale facility. You get a reconciled asset report, the destruction certificates, and R2v3 recycling weights on one file.
Most of the Glendale decommissions we run are cloud migrations: the workload has already moved, and what is left is a rack of hardware nobody wants to own the liability for. The second most common is a merger or lease exit around Westgate and the Loop 101 corridor, where a landlord wants the room back on a fixed date.
Either way the risk is the same — drives that were never inventoried. Reconciling media by serial before the racks come apart is the difference between a clean chain of custody record and an unexplained gap in an audit.

Both. Most Glendale jobs are a single closet or server room — a half rack behind a Westgate hospitality office, a Loop 101 corridor business park, or an Arrowhead medical group. We also handle multi-rack consolidations. The smallest engagement we scope is one rack or five data-bearing devices.
Drives are pulled, scanned by serial, and reconciled against your asset list before anything leaves the room. Each drive is then sanitized to the NIST 800-88 method that matches the media, or shredded under NAID AAA procedure. You receive a certificate naming the method for every serial.
Yes. Glendale suppliers working with Luke Air Force Base programs need sanitization mapped to NIST 800-88, a serial-level certificate naming that method, and an unbroken chain-of-custody record — the three artifacts a C3PAO assessor reviews. All three come standard, and witnessed destruction is available.
Chassis, rails, PDUs, switches, and structured cabling move through R2v3 zero-landfill channels, with weights reported by commodity stream. Recent-generation compute and networking gear is remarketed instead, and the recovery is credited against the Glendale project cost.
No. Phoenix ITAD is business-only. We decommission servers for Glendale companies, hospitals, schools, and public agencies — never residences.
Who we can serve: businesses only
We collect from offices, facilities, warehouses, server rooms, and data centers. We do not service residences — no household pickups and no consumer drop-off. Free pickup runs roughly 60 miles from our Scottsdale processing facility (all of Maricopa County), with scheduled routes for the rest of Arizona. Minimum pickup is 5+ devices, one pallet, or a single rack. Pickup criteria →
Send the rack count and your lease-exit date; we will come back with a scope, a schedule, and the value recovery estimate.
