A retired laptop still holds data. A decommissioned server still has cached credentials. Most businesses don't think about this until it's too late.
A retired laptop sitting in a closet still contains data. A decommissioned server still has drive images, cached credentials, and application data that a determined attacker could recover. Most businesses don't think about this until it's too late. CGCG solves it cleanly — certified data destruction, written certificate, compliance documentation.
For devices still able to serve someone, we coordinate donation to schools, nonprofits, and community organizations in the New York area. NIST 800-88 is the federal government's standard for securely erasing data from storage media. It's the standard that holds up in court, in audits, and with cyber insurers. We certify to it.
Data destruction before anything else. NIST 800-88 certified. Certificate of destruction on every device, every time.
Devices still capable of serving someone go to schools, nonprofits, and community organizations across New York — not a landfill.
Every asset logged. Every destruction certified. Every donation documented. Your compliance record is complete from day one.
We manage every step so you don't have to think about it. One call, one pickup, one certificate — and the problem is solved.
We catalog every device — make, model, serial number, condition — before anything moves. Chain of custody starts here.
We schedule a pickup at your location. No logistics burden on your team — we handle transport and handling.
Every storage device is wiped to NIST 800-88 standards. Physical destruction available for drives that require it.
Functional devices go to nonprofit partners. Non-functional units go to certified recyclers. Nothing goes to landfill.
You receive a Certificate of Destruction, asset manifest, and donation documentation — ready for auditors and insurers.
From a single laptop to an entire office decommission — we handle every category of IT equipment with the same rigorous process.
Desktops, laptops, all-in-ones, Macs, PCs.
All storage media wiped to NIST 800-88 standards before any further handling. Certificate of destruction issued per device.
Rack servers, NAS, SAN, tape libraries, drive arrays.
Enterprise storage holds more data than almost anything else. We treat every drive as a potential liability until it's certified destroyed.
Phones, tablets, iPads, and mobile workstations.
Factory reset alone isn't enough. We use forensic wipe tools and verify erasure before any device leaves our hands.
Switches, routers, firewalls, access points, UPS units.
Network hardware often retains config files with credentials, VPN keys, and network maps. We clear it all before disposal.
Monitors, keyboards, printers, scanners, cameras.
We handle the full office sweep — not just the obvious items. Monitors, KVM switches, projectors, docking stations — everything.
Office closures, fleet upgrades, data center decommissions.
We coordinate full-scale decommissioning projects — from planning the pickup schedule to delivering the final asset report and certificate package.
For every device that still has useful life, we find it a home with an organization that needs it. Your decommission becomes a community contribution — fully documented for your records.
Functional devices go to vetted educational institutions and nonprofit organizations in the New York area — with your organization credited as the donor.
We provide a full report of where each donated device went — which organization, what type of device, and its assessed value — so your CSR record is complete.
Each donated device receives a fair market value assessment — documentation you may be able to use for charitable contribution reporting.
From a single workstation upgrade to an entire office shutdown — CGCG's recycling program handles it all with the same rigorous process.
Moving offices means deciding what comes with you. We take care of everything that doesn't — cleanly and completely.
Healthcare, finance, and legal organizations need certified data destruction. We provide the documentation that satisfies auditors.
Turn your technology retirement into a documented charitable contribution and sustainability initiative with our full charity program.
Four things that make CGCG's recycling program different from hauling old equipment to a drop-off site.
Data destruction is not an optional add-on. It is the first step, every time, before any device is sorted, donated, or recycled. NIST 800-88 certified. Certificate of destruction on every device.
Every asset is logged with make, model, serial number, and disposition. You receive a full certificate package — ready for compliance audits, cyber insurance reviews, and CSR reporting.
We're not a drop-off center — we're a partner. Devices that can still serve someone go to organizations that need them, with your organization recognized as the donor.
One call. We schedule the pickup, manage the logistics, handle the entire process, and deliver the documentation. You have one fewer thing to worry about.
Schedule a pickup or tell us about your decommission project. We'll handle everything from collection through certification, so your data is protected, your community benefits, and your compliance record is complete.
