The rules when you clear IT equipment

Waste and WEEE

Used IT that is disposed of is waste electrical and electronic equipment under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 (legislation.gov.uk). Whoever carries it must be a registered waste carrier (GOV.UK), and the waste duty of care applies to the business handing it over (code of practice). On Kitsold those duties sit with the buyer who collects; Kitsold introduces and never handles the kit.

Data on the drives

Under UK GDPR a business must keep personal data secure up to and including its disposal, so every lot that holds data asks which erasure or destruction standard the seller needs, and the buyer's offer says how it will meet it.

GPUs and US export rules

Advanced accelerators such as the H100 and A100 are controlled under the US Export Administration Regulations (ECCN 3A090 and 4A090), with a presumption of denial for China and Macau. Every GPU lot is asked where the kit is now and where it is going after sale; a lot bound for China or Macau, or for a party on the US Entity List, reaches no buyer.
