Complete Responsibility

DMD takes full accountability for your ITAD outcomes today, tomorrow and always.

Complete Responsibility Means COMPLETE RESPONSIBLITY

Responsibility. Accountability. Liability. Whatever term you prefer, we are there for you. We look across your entire ITAD solution - Security, the Environment, and Compliance - to assure and ensure your protection and protection for our world.

Two of our DMD values are Accountability and Protection.

Accountability means we answer for our actions and decisions, but more importantly, for our outcomes and results.

Protection means we are guardians and caretakers to our environment, our customers, and our teammates.

Complete Responsibility for

Environmental

DMD protects our environment. By putting the environment first, we ensure you and your IT assets are never put in a compromised position or a situation in which you are directly or indirectly harming our environment.

DMD adheres to a zero-landfill policy and follows all R2 standards (at a minimum), with special handling procedures for all hazardous materials.

Our Reuse First™ ITAD approach prioritizes the reuse of IT assets to maximize their lifespan. We maximize asset reuse as the primary way to limit environmental damage and reduce carbon emissions. We will provide you with EPA reporting, so you can see the impact your reuse or recycling contributes to our world.

Complete Responsibility for

Security

DMD protects you, your data, and your clients. We do this by guaranteeing our data erasure results to eliminate risk to you and your reputation.

We offer you different levels of security options for your equipment and data needs to provide you the choice of balancing risk, cost, timing, and other constraints including access.

Included with our options is $10M in insurance to cover Cyber-liability and security risks.

The end result is your confidence and peace of mind.

Complete Responsibility for

Compliance

DMD stays up on the legislative requirements across the country to ensure our practices and methods comply. We understand the details and governance you may be subject to under:

HIPAA
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)
PCI Compliance
GDPR and CCPA

We guide you through the options and the risks, to help you make the appropriate choice, so you are both aware and covered.

DMD doesn't forget

DMD believes strongly in the role of businesses as a mechanism to improve society. While we have been active with charitable foundations and other philanthropic endeavors over the years, we decided to formalize our belief and opinion.

We formalized our belief by becoming a Certified B Corporation^TM in 2020. This is a commitment to operate our business to meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

The formal B Corp Declaration of Interdependence:

The B Corp
Declaration of
Interdependence.
We envision a global economy that uses business as a force for good.
This economy is comprised of a new type of corporation—the B Corporation—
which is purpose-driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
As B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:
• That we must be the change we seek in the world.
• That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
• That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do
no harm, and benefit all.
• To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are dependent upon
another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.

Responsibility Demonstrated

One of the keys to our complete responsibility adherence is the use of our portal to track many responsibility components and tangibly provide demonstration.

We believe our clients deserve the highest level of transparency. To achieve this, we offer our Transparent Revenue Share™ in addition to our client portal. Unlike most providers that rely on estimated values, our pricing approach utilizes actual sales data. This ensures you a straightforward and simple ITAD experience.

TOUCH

Asset Reporting

You can see the status of each and every asset throughout the disposition lifecycle.

TOUCH

Certificate of Destruction

Every data bearing device receives its own certificate which can be tied back to a physical wipe log.

TOUCH

Certificate of Recycle

A certificate of recycle provides a paper trail for every asset and testament to its responsible disposition.

Regulations by State

There are very few federal regulations requiring specific data or environmental guidelines. However, the individual states have stepped in, generating their own legislation and policies. This makes adherence a bit more difficult as you must navigate different rules for different locations. We take out the guesswork. We are the experts so you don't have to be.

But, if you are interested in reading more, just scroll down to see the state and federal guidelines relating to IT Asset Disposal from both a data and electronic waste perspective. With a bonus section on common regulations we are asked about by our clients.

Federal E-Waste Laws

Wastes, including electronic waste, are subject to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Some electronic wastes contain hazardous materials and are classified as hazardous waste like CRTs. But may be exempted from the definition if they are sent for recycling.

Because of this, it’s legal to export almost all electronic waste from the U.S. to developing countries. There are rules around this, but because of the structure of exemptions, there is very little e-Waste export rules except of the federal CRT Rule. Note that the 2014 changes in the CRT rule go into effect as of Dec. 26, 2014.

View the EPA’s website on e-waste regulation.

Many states have enacted e-Waste and recycling laws to fill this void.
