Blue Revive provides ITAD services for Marietta businesses, including aerospace suppliers, healthcare organizations, and corporate and public offices in Cobb County. We handle servers, laptops, storage, network gear, and mobile devices through inventory, data sanitization, resale where value remains, and recycling, with a certificate of destruction and a certificate of recycling issued to the client. Projects range from a department refresh to a multi-building retirement. Contact us for a Marietta quote.
Marietta Market Context
Marietta's economy is anchored by aerospace and defense manufacturing, a large health system headquartered in the city, Kennesaw State University nearby, and Cobb County government. Colocation space in the Marietta area also serves cloud-connected enterprise workloads. That mix produces retirement projects with very different needs, from clinical devices to engineering workstations.
For asset managers and finance teams, the value question depends on the equipment. Engineering workstations and servers are often worth recovering, while devices from clinical settings or restricted programs may need to be sanitized or destroyed without resale. Sorting those groups at inventory keeps the recovery report honest.
Marietta Data Security and Disposal Requirements
Federal data and waste rules
Marietta's mix of aerospace suppliers, health systems, and public offices brings several rule sets to one ITAD program. The HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR 164.310(d)(2)) covers health information, the FTC Disposal Rule (16 CFR Part 682) and GLBA (16 CFR Part 314) reach consumer and financial data, and PCI DSS applies where cardholder data is in scope. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, published in September 2025 in place of Rev. 1, is the method reference for Clear, Purge, and Destroy. On the waste side, RCRA characterization (TCLP under EPA Method 1311 where needed), universal waste (40 CFR Part 273), CRT displays (40 CFR 261.39), and DOT and PHMSA lithium battery rules (UN3480 and UN3481) apply.
Georgia requirements
Georgia has no statewide e-scrap producer program and no covered-electronics landfill ban, so electronics fall under Georgia EPD solid waste rules and the hazardous waste rules in Chapter 391-3-11. O.C.G.A. 10-15-2 bars discarding a customer record with personal information unless it is shredded, erased, or made unreadable, and the breach statute (O.C.G.A. 10-1-910 to 10-1-912) puts notice duties on information brokers and government data collectors, with 24 hour notice from vendors holding their data. Records support an audit position and do not guarantee compliance. This is not legal advice.
Local considerations in Marietta
Aerospace and defense suppliers in Cobb County often carry contract terms that specify how retired media must be handled. Those terms are scoped per contract, and Blue Revive does not assert program-specific approvals. Healthcare organizations bring the HIPAA Security Rule into play, including the accountability record for hardware movement (45 CFR 164.310(d)(2)(iii)). Confirm residual electronics limits with the Cobb County solid waste office.
What Blue Revive Handles in Marietta
The table below shows typical outcomes by asset type.
After inventory, each asset group gets a likely outcome based on condition, media, and resale potential. Secure transport is common, and on-site work can be requested depending on scope and site rules.
Coverage Around Marietta
Marietta is roughly 40 to 45 miles from Blue Revive's Buford office, on the west side of the metro. Projects are scheduled around site access, volume, and timeline.
Health systems and secure facilities often limit who can enter and when. Escorted access, badge checks, and clean-area rules are worked out during scoping so a retirement does not stall at the door.

Chain of Custody and Documentation
Serial numbers follow each asset from intake to final disposition, so clinical, engineering, and office equipment can each be reconciled as a group. Each job closes with a certificate of destruction and a certificate of recycling, plus settlement and reporting where equipment has resale value. Downstream accountability is documented and feeds GRI, SASB, CDP, and TCFD inputs. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guides the method as a framework, not a credential. Records support your audit position without guaranteeing compliance. Restricted or clinical equipment is flagged at intake so it follows its own path.
How the Process Works
-
Scope and inventory. Walk each building to count assets, flag restricted or clinical equipment, and agree on the outcome for each group.
-
Scheduling and secure transport. Arrange escorted access and dock times, then move assets by secure transport.
-
Receiving and reconciliation. Check each received item against the serialized inventory, keeping clinical, engineering, and office groups separate.
-
Sanitization or destruction. Apply the agreed method to data-bearing media and send devices without storage to teardown.
-
Resale or material recovery. Remarket equipment that still has value and send everything else to material recovery.
-
Documentation issued. Provide certificates, reporting, and any settlement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can aerospace suppliers use ITAD services in Marietta?
Retirement of workstations, servers, and storage is in scope, and contract requirements are reviewed during scoping. Blue Revive does not assert program-specific approvals, so any contractual media-handling rules need to be shared up front. Contact us with your requirements.
How is clinical equipment handled?
Devices that may hold protected health information are flagged at intake and sanitized or destroyed before any reuse decision, and the serialized record supports the hardware movement accountability that HIPAA describes. Contact us to review your equipment.
Is resale realistic for Marietta equipment?
Sometimes. Intact servers, workstations, and newer laptops may carry value, while drives that must be destroyed and clinical devices held for data reasons do not. Settlement terms are set per project. Contact us to discuss your mix.
What Georgia rules apply to retired electronics in Cobb County?
Georgia has no statewide e-scrap program, so federal waste rules, Georgia EPD requirements, and O.C.G.A. 10-15-2 for personal information records apply. Local landfills can set their own limits. Contact us to plan handling.
