Governance and evidence
Support your internal compliance and audit trail
Disposing of business technology is not only a transport task. The organisation remains responsible for deciding how devices, stored information and disposal records should be handled.
LCR starts by agreeing the asset scope, site controls, data-bearing equipment and evidence required. This gives facilities, IT, procurement and information-governance teams a clearer handover record.

- Named collection contact and agreed site-access plan
- Equipment categories, quantities and serial capture where agreed
- Requested data erasure evidence for suitable assets
- Recorded reuse or recycling outcome at the agreed reporting level

Social value through reuse
Turn a commercial clearance into practical community benefit
When donated business devices remain useful, refurbishment can extend their working life and help LCR Charity support people and organisations facing digital exclusion. The reporting conversation can include the social-value information your ESG or procurement team needs, without making unsupported impact claims.

Questions before collection
Frequently asked questions
Can LCR collect IT equipment from City of London office buildings?+
Yes. Share the building address, floor, loading arrangements, security-desk process, available lifts, collection window and equipment volume so the team can assess the route before confirming collection.
Can you support an office move or IT refresh?+
LCR can review equipment generated by relocations, fit-outs, closures and device refreshes. Early notice helps with access planning, volume assessment and the reporting scope.
What asset information can be recorded?+
The agreed report can include device categories, quantities, available serial numbers and recorded outcomes. Confirm the required level of detail before collection so it can be built into the handling plan.
Do you provide evidence of data erasure?+
Data erasure evidence can be requested for suitable data-bearing assets. Tell LCR which devices and documentation your information-governance team requires when requesting a quote.
What happens to reusable business computers?+
Where equipment is suitable and data has been handled appropriately, LCR prioritises refurbishment and reuse. This can create community benefit while extending the useful life of donated technology.
