How do I prepare a hard drive for

disposal?If a piece of equipment contains a hard drive, you must certify that sensitive, confidential, or restricted data is no longer on your computer’s hard drive.

The Excess and Surplus Property Disposal (ESPD) form is required for all items containing hard drives in order to certify that hard drives have either been wiped or indicate the drive should be destroyed.

• Wipe: your department certifies that it has erased the hard drive

• Remove: your department certifies that it has removed the hard drive before pick-up

• Recycle: your department requests that the equipment be recycled (“shredded”) by a scrap dealer to ensure destruction of the hard drive.

 Tip! Computers, copiers, printers, and servers all contain hard drives!

Inventorial equipment are items of equipment which have a value of $5,000 or more and which should be identified by a bar-coded UCSB property tag.   All inventorial equipment disposals must be processed either as surplus property, via the processing of an ESPD form, or, if a department has cannibalized an item for parts, or otherwise destroyed it, via the processing of an EIMR form. 

 Information on the authorized methods of disposing of inventorial equipment can be found on the Equipment Management webpages at http://www.bfs.ucsb.edu/equipment/disposal. 

If you have any questions when processing disposals, contact either Vaughn Boyle (x7377, vaughn.boyle@bfs.ucsb.edu) or Diana Mina (x2389, diana.mina@bfs.ucsb.edu).
