Have tried it for the very first time in LD6 and it worked surprisingly well. Of course you have to do your homework and collect a lot of serial numbers and ideally have all the equipment already bundled up in your cage for a quick collection but after that you just leave it to the pros at your IBX. Still waiting for my paperwork for the proof of proper disposal but that will surely come.
Thanks for sharing your experience—this is really helpful. Good to know it worked well in LD6 with the right preparation upfront. Please keep us posted once you receive the proof of proper disposal paperwork.
