West Coast Data Center Corridor
Data Center Decommissioning & ITAD in California
USACA Group decommissions data centers, colocation cages, hyperscale labs and enterprise IT estates across California — from Silicon Valley campuses to downtown Los Angeles facilities — with a documented chain of custody from de-rack through destruction or remarketing.
How projects run in California
California hosts the highest concentration of hyperscale, cloud and enterprise data centers in the United States, with Silicon Valley and the Bay Area driving the largest volume of refresh, relocation and consolidation projects.
Strict state privacy laws — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) — place accountability on businesses to document how personal and corporate data is destroyed, not just that a vendor handled it.
Many Bay Area projects happen inside colocation facilities with tight access windows, limited dock space and environmental noise rules, so the work must be scheduled around live operations rather than treated as a simple pickup.
Earthquake and fire-season risks make asset staging, transport routing and warehouse contingency part of the standard California plan, not an afterthought.

On the ground
What we handle so your team does not have to.
Colocation-friendly mobilization
We coordinate access lists, insurance certificates, dock reservations and after-hours windows with facility managers before crews arrive, minimizing disruption to neighbouring tenants.
Dense rack and lab de-racking
High-density hyperscale and AI lab racks are photographed, labelled and powered down in sequence, then reconciled against your asset register as they come out.
Sealed, tracked transport
Loads leave under numbered seals with GPS-tracked transport to our processing warehouse, with seal numbers recorded on both the manifest and the receiving report.
California-wide remarketing network
Recent servers, storage and network gear is graded for resale through West Coast and national remarketing channels, with settlement reports mapped back to your project.
Evidence and compliance
Documentation your auditors will accept.
Serialized destruction evidence
Every data-bearing device is logged by make, model, serial and destruction method, giving you the per-device records CCPA/CPRA audits and enterprise security teams expect.
Privacy-law-aligned chain of custody
Documentation captures who handled each device, when and where, so you can demonstrate accountable data destruction under California privacy law.
R2v3 and ISO 14001 / ISO 45001 processing
Recycling and refurbishment run under R2v3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified procedures, with downstream material reporting available for your ESG disclosures.
