Secure Decommissioning focuses on the safe retirement and recycling of mobile assets in compliance with ESG policies and data privacy laws.
PiiComm’s sovereign, in-country managed mobility services can support your disposal needs. View our Secure Decommissioning Guide for in-depth insights.
We use industry-standard software to wipe 100% of data from devices, providing Certificates of Destruction for every serial number.
For non-viable assets, we perform physical destruction of devices and SIM cards to prevent any possibility of data recovery.
We assess functional legacy equipment (like Zebra TC56 or Honeywell scanners) for trade-in credits or resale on the secondary market.
From pickup to processing, we maintain a strict "Chain of Custody" with tracked transport to our secure processing facility.
All e-waste is processed in accordance with EPRA (Electronic Products Recycling Association) standards, supporting your zero-waste initiatives.

Every enterprise mobile device retired in Canada carries residual data. That is not a theoretical risk—it is an operational reality that IT Directors, Procurement Managers, and CFOs navigate every time they cycle out a fleet of scanners, handhelds, or rugged tablets. The gap between “we recycled it” and “we can prove the data is gone” […]
Read moreManaging wireless carriers for a fleet of enterprise devices across Canada is nothing like managing a corporate phone plan. When you’re running 1,500 Zebra scanners across three provinces on a mix of Bell and TELUS plans, “carrier management” means something fundamentally different—it means keeping frontline workers connected, keeping seasonal ramp-ups on schedule, and keeping invoices […]
Read moreEvery enterprise-issued mobile device in British Columbia—every Zebra scanner on a delivery truck, every handheld on a warehouse floor—is a personal information collection point under the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), whether your organisation intended it that way or not. The MDM platform managing those devices records location data, usage patterns, and connectivity logs that […]
Read moreEvery enterprise mobile device on a Quebec warehouse floor, delivery route, or retail back room is a personal information collection point under Law 25—and most operations teams don’t realise it. The scanners, handhelds, and rugged tablets your frontline workers carry generate location data, productivity metrics, and transaction records that fall squarely within Quebec’s strictest-in-Canada privacy […]
Read moreMobile IT asset decommissioning involves the secure removal of mobile devices from your live environment. Unlike simple trash disposal, PiiComm ensures every device is wiped of data, audited, and consistently recycled or remarketed in compliance with environmental laws.
PiiComm employs strict data sanitization techniques, such as NIST 800-88 compliant erasure, to ensure all sensitive information is permanently removed. This prevents your organization's data from being compromised or falling into unauthorized hands.
Yes. PiiComm provides full documentation throughout the entire process, including Certificates of Data Destruction, recycling reports, and serialized audit trails to prove adherence to compliance standards like PIPEDA.
Yes. We handle the entire logistics chain. From securely collecting the devices at your various locations to transporting them to our secure processing facility, we ensure "Chain of Custody" is maintained at every step.
Yes. If devices are still in working condition, we offer Value Recovery services. We assess, refurbish, and remarket these assets on the secondary market to help your organization recover residual value and offset the cost of new technology.
