Technology Donation Program

Iron Mountain helps companies donate IT assets to charitable organizations, including Human-I-T in the USA and The Turing Trust in the UK, creating a positive social impact while responsibly managing IT assets.

How it works

Our comprehensive process ensures security, cleanliness, and compliance:

• Data sanitization
  Using NIST 800-88 standards, we fully sanitize data-bearing devices to remove all sensitive information.
• Physical cleaning
  Assets are cleaned, with asset tags removed as needed.
• Logistics
  Iron Mountain receives, scans, and verifies each item and sends an audit report and a certificate of sanitization to the customer within 60 days. Assets are then packaged and shipped to our charitable partners.

Custom donation options

For donations to a customer-specific charity, pricing is available upon request.

This program enables companies to contribute to the social aspect of their ESG/CSR goals by supporting organizations that benefit communities in need.

We can help maximize the impact of your donated IT equipment, as most items under 10 years old can be repurposed for organizations, including desktops, laptops, and projectors. We accept donations of computers and laptops capable of running Windows 10 or MacOS 12 Monterey or newer, ensuring compatibility with modern organizational needs.
