Macquarie Park disposes of hardware on a corporate schedule. A campus office does not retire ten laptops when they break — it replaces three hundred on a planned cycle, with an internal IT team, an asset register and usually a head office somewhere else that has opinions about how it is done.
Kinsoft collects and securely destroys end-of-life hardware across Macquarie Park, North Ryde, Marsfield, Eastwood and Epping.
What makes a Macquarie Park collection different
You already have an IT team and a process. Our job is to fit into it rather than impose one. That usually means collecting on a date your team has scheduled, against a list they have produced, and returning documentation in a format their register will accept.
The standard is often set offshore. Subsidiaries of overseas parents are frequently told which sanitisation standard applies. We apply the one you nominate rather than defaulting.
Laboratory and research equipment holds data nobody flags. Analytical instruments, imaging systems and lab PCs in the pharma and medtech businesses here contain storage with research or trial data on it, and they are almost never on the IT asset list.
Serial numbers matter more than addresses. With hundreds of identical devices, the record is only useful if it identifies each unit individually and ties back to your tag.
Secure data destruction
Drives are wiped to the standard you specify — DoD 5220.22-M, NIST 800-88 or the Australian ISM. SSDs and NVMe media use firmware-level Secure Erase. Certificates record make, model, serial number, asset tag, standard and verification per device. Full detail on our e-waste removal and data destruction page.

Call 02 9064 2663 or contact us online. We cover Macquarie Park, North Ryde, Marsfield, Eastwood and Epping.
We have our own IT team. How does this work?
They tell us what is going and when, we collect and process it, and return documentation in a form that reconciles to your register. We are not trying to take over the refresh.
Our parent company specifies a sanitisation standard. Can you follow it?
Yes, and the certificate records which standard was applied to each device so you can evidence compliance upwards.
What about laboratory instruments?
They frequently contain storage holding research data and are the most commonly missed item in a campus refresh. Include them in the list and we will handle them.
