Answer: The most common difficulties regarding the proper disposal of obsolete equipment are:
1) make people aware of the importance of proper equipment disposal;
2) the need for space and access controls to store the equipment before they undergo the information sanitization procedures;
3) the control of information to ensure that no sensitive data is lost because users forgot to retrieve them from the equipment before sending them for disposal;
4) the disposal of equipment under BYOD terms.
