Introduction
Disposal is the final stage of a device's lifecycle. When a device reaches end-of-life, is beyond economical repair, or is no longer needed by the organization, it must be removed from active inventory through a formal disposition process. Rather than simply deleting the record, disposition captures how the device left the organization—whether it was disposed (scrapped), recycled, donated, or sold—along with the supporting evidence (certificates, receipts, approvals).
This operation protects the organization legally, environmentally, and financially: it ensures data is wiped, e-waste is handled responsibly, assets are written off correctly, and the audit trail is complete.
