Entertainment & Media
Los Angeles hosts more than 5,000 entertainment production companies requiring regular technology refresh cycles.

Los Angeles healthcare systems — including facilities operated by Kaiser Permanente (~50,000 SoCal employees) — require certified destruction designed to support HIPAA compliance, with chain-of-custody documentation for every device.
Government
Compliant computer liquidation for County of Los Angeles departments, City of Los Angeles agencies, and the region's 275+ federal offices. Government surplus disposal requires documented chain-of-custody and certified destruction meeting federal standards.
