Digital Waste Tracking for ITAD operators
How DWTS fits into a real IT asset disposal workflow — alongside wiping, certificates, WEEE and resale.
IT asset disposal is not just waste handling — it’s data security and reuse too. That makes DWTS one requirement among several. Here’s how it slots into an ITAD operator’s day.
Where DWTS sits in the ITAD flow
Collection → intake scan → data wipe → certificate → resale or recycling. DWTS captures the waste movement steps, while your data-destruction certificates cover the security steps and WEEE covers the treatment steps. All three run off the same devices.
Why one system beats three
Running DWTS in one tool, certificates in another and WEEE in a spreadsheet means re-keying the same devices three times and hoping the records match at audit. A single platform captures each device once and produces all three outputs.
Getting ahead of the deadline
Receiving sites must comply from October 2026. Adopting DWTS-ready software now means the mandate arrives as a switch you flip, not a project you scramble to deliver.
Frequently asked questions
Do ITAD operators need DWTS?
Yes, if you receive or carry controlled waste. Receiving sites must comply from October 2026 and carriers from October 2027.
How does DWTS relate to data destruction?
They’re separate but complementary: DWTS records the waste movement, data-destruction certificates prove the data was removed. You need both.
Can one platform do all of it?
Yes — WipeTrail captures each device once and produces DWTS records, WEEE evidence and destruction certificates together.
