We help Utah businesses, data centers, and MSPs safely decommission enterprise rack infrastructure. Zero-cost server cleanouts, certified forensic drive erasure, full chain-of-custody indemnification, and zero landfill waste.
Engineered for Data Security & Environmental Integrity
We bridge the gap between corporate compliance requirements and sustainable equipment disposition.
Complete physical extraction and haul-away of qualifying enterprise server lots (DDR4/DDR5 platforms, SAN arrays, and enterprise storage) at zero cost to your organization.
Defense-grade digital media sanitization using cryptographic erase and multi-pass sector overwriting. Every SSD, SAS, and SATA disk is audited with serialized logging.
Formal on-site custody transfer and Bill of Sale indemnifying your company. Legal title passes upon pickup, releasing your team from ongoing hardware and data liability.
Functional enterprise memory and processors are remarketed for lifecycle extension. Stripped steel chassis and dead electronics route to certified commodities recyclers.
How Decommissioning Works
Streamlined logistics engineered to respect sysadmin time constraints and strict corporate compliance.
Submit 2–3 photos or an equipment manifest via our intake form. We verify hardware architecture (DDR4/DDR5 platforms, drive bays, power specs) and confirm cleanout parameters within 24 hours.
We arrive at your facility with padded transit gear and hand trucks. A physical Bill of Sale & Transfer of Liability is signed on-site, immediately transferring liability to BareMetal Zero LLC.
Drives enter our dedicated x86 erasure bench. Low-level Cryptographic Erase (SSDs) or multi-pass block overwrites (mechanical SAS) are executed in parallel with 100% read verification.
You receive an itemized, serialized Certificate of Data Sanitization for your compliance file. Functional silicon is remarketed for spare-part lifecycles; bare metal is recycled cleanly.
To maintain our zero-cost pickup model for clients, our operations focus on modern enterprise architectures with recoverable residual component value.
We request 2–3 photos of your rack or staging pile prior to mobilization to confirm dock logistics and architecture compatibility.
Certified NIST SP 800-88 Rev 1 Reporting
Every hard drive and SSD processed is itemized in an auditable compliance certificate formatted specifically for CISOs, external auditors, and SOC 2 / HIPAA compliance files.
| Drive Slot | Model | Serial Number | Capacity | Sanitization Method | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #01-BAY1 | SEAGATE ST1200MM0088 | W460XYZ8 | 1.2 TB SAS | NIST 800-88 Clear (Zero Fill) | 100% PASS |
| #02-BAY2 | SAMSUNG PM883 | S4G9NF0M102934 | 960 GB SATA SSD | NIST 800-88 Purge (Cryptographic) | 100% PASS |
| #03-BAY3 | INTEL D3-S4510 | PHDV8204001E1P9 | 1.92 TB SSD | NIST 800-88 Purge (Cryptographic) | 100% PASS |
All functional components harvested from corporate decommissions are cleaned, ESD-packaged, and remarketed via our official eBay storefront. Perfect for sysadmins, homelabbers, and independent IT maintainers.

Enterprise Disposition FAQ
Our zero-cost model is funded purely by the residual component value of remarketed enterprise silicon (CPUs, ECC RAM, and interface cards) after certified data wiping. By extending the lifecycle of tested hardware via secondary market channels, we offset all transportation, bench testing, and data sanitization labor costs for the client.
We operate strictly to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-88 Revision 1 guidelines. For solid-state media (NVMe/SATA SSDs), we execute ATA/NVMe cryptographic hardware erases (Purge). For mechanical SAS/SATA drives, we execute multi-pass zero-pattern overwrites with 100% block read verification. Any drive that fails verification is immediately physically degaussed and shredded.
Liability transfers the exact moment the hardware is loaded into our transport vehicle. Before leaving your facility, we execute a standardized Transfer of Liability & Custody Agreement signed by both parties, indemnifying your organization and transferring all title, risk, and downstream recycling obligations to BareMetal Zero LLC.
Yes. Physical asset de-identification is mandatory for every server entering our bench. All client barcodes, asset tags, internal hostname stickers, and labeling tape are physically removed and shredded before any chassis or sub-component enters secondary testing or recycling pipelines.
We provide direct white-glove pickup across Salt Lake County, Utah County (Silicon Slopes / Lehi / Provo), Davis County, and Weber County. For large multi-rack data center decommissions, we provide service throughout the greater Intermountain West.
