Your old hardware holds more than outdated specs. It holds data. Liability. Real risk if it lands in the wrong hands. Texas businesses dealing with end-of-life IT equipment need a partner who takes that seriously, and TAMS has been doing exactly that since 2003.
We provide electronics recycling in Texas, along with certified data destruction, data center decommissioning, and revenue recovery services built for businesses that can’t afford to cut corners. From a single office cleanout to a full-scale data center shutdown, we handle it all, start to finish, with full documentation and zero data breaches on record.
TAMS is an IT asset disposition company founded in 2003, serving enterprise businesses, government agencies, healthcare networks, and Fortune 500 companies across the country. We’re certified under NAID AAA, R2v3, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and PCI DSS standards. Texas is one of our core service regions, home to some of the country’s largest data center hubs, and we know this market well.
Our team brings a hands-on, white-glove approach to every project. You get a dedicated point of contact, real-time reporting through our secure client portal, and documentation you can actually audit. No guessing, no gaps.
When equipment reaches the end of its life, it doesn’t just disappear. Computers, servers, laptops, networking gear, mobile devices, monitors, and storage arrays all require compliant, responsible disposal. Computer recycling in Texas through TAMS means every device is processed according to R2v3 and NAID AAA standards, so nothing slips through the cracks environmentally or legally.
We handle:
Recycling a device without destroying its data is a liability waiting to happen. Our data destruction services in Texas go beyond a factory reset. We offer certified hard drive shredding, logical overwriting per NIST 800-88 guidelines, and on-site destruction options for clients who need to keep everything in-house until it’s gone.
Every job comes with a Certificate of Destruction and full chain-of-custody documentation. You know exactly what was destroyed, how, and when.
Shutting down a data center is one of the most complex IT projects a business can take on. Timing, compliance, data security, logistics, asset tracking; there’s a lot that has to go right. Our data center decommissioning in Texas service covers the full scope: infrastructure dismantling, secure data sanitization, serialized asset tracking, and final site clearance.
We’ve managed decommissioning projects for hyperscalers, government agencies, and enterprise organizations. Texas is a core hub for us, which means faster response times and a team that already knows the terrain.
Retiring old IT equipment doesn’t have to be a pure expense. Through TAMS’s revenue recovery services, usable hardware is evaluated, processed, and resold through our vetted buyer network. Clients consistently recover 10 to 25% more value compared to going it alone. Every dollar recovered is tracked and reconciled in your reporting dashboard, with full transparency on what sold and for how much.
We proudly highlight our unwavering commitment to excellence and adherence to the highest industry standards. Our certifications, including SERI R2v3, I-Sigma NAID AAA, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, reflect our dedication to quality management, environmental responsibility, occupational health and safety, and secure data destruction. Additionally, our data destruction processes comply with the stringent NIST-800-88 r1 guidelines, including clear and purge methods, ensuring the secure and thorough erasure of data. Our regular PCI DSS audits, performed by certified PCI QSA/ISA personnel, ensure that systems handling payment information undergo compliant secure data destruction services. These certifications and compliance measures not only demonstrate our commitment to operational excellence but also assure our clients that we meet and exceed the industry’s most rigorous benchmarks for responsible, secure and sustainable IT asset disposition.
Businesses in Texas are required to dispose of electronics responsibly under state and federal e-waste regulations. Dumping electronics in landfills is generally prohibited and can carry fines depending on the equipment type and volume. The right path is working with a certified electronics recycler, one with R2v3 certification and documented chain-of-custody processes. TAMS handles pickup, processing, data destruction, and compliance documentation, so your business stays on the right side of the law without lifting a finger.
Data center decommissioning involves several coordinated phases. First, assets are inventoried and tagged before anything is touched. Then, data-bearing devices are sanitized or physically destroyed on-site or at a secure facility, with full documentation issued in real-time. Infrastructure is then dismantled, packed, and removed. Finally, usable hardware enters our remarketing pipeline for value recovery, while non-viable equipment is responsibly recycled. TAMS manages all of this under one contract, with a single project team, so you’re not juggling multiple vendors mid-project.
Texas follows guidelines under the Texas Computer Equipment Recycling Program (TCERP), which requires manufacturers to offer recycling for covered electronic devices. For businesses, the obligation goes further: organizations handling sensitive data are bound by federal regulations like HIPAA, FACTA, and GLB depending on their industry, all of which require proper data sanitization before disposal. Working with a certified ITAD provider like TAMS covers both the environmental compliance side and the data security side, with documentation to prove it.
