An organized service request begins with a simple inventory and a clear plan for pickup or warehouse drop-off. Good preparation helps your team protect data, reduce disruption, and keep reusable equipment separated from end-of-life material.
Start with a room-by-room inventory
List major equipment types and approximate quantities. Include desktops, laptops, monitors, servers, networking hardware, storage devices, phones, accessories, and cables. For large projects, note the room, department, pallet, or storage area where each group is located.
Identify anything that may contain data
Separate hard drives, SSDs, servers, computers, phones, tablets, removable media, and storage arrays. Labeling these items early makes it easier to discuss wiping, destruction, inventory, and documentation requirements before equipment leaves your site or arrives for drop-off.
Confirm access or drop-off details
For pickups, share suite numbers, loading dock hours, elevator access, parking restrictions, stairs, gate instructions, and any unusually heavy equipment. For drop-offs, confirm that your items are accepted before bringing them to the Canoga Park warehouse.
Keep the handoff simple
Group similar items, remove unrelated personal property, and avoid placing loose electronics where they block exits or walkways. A clear, consolidated staging area creates a faster and more accountable handoff.
