Removal or disposal of assets should depend on an assessment of which of the following?

Asset disposal decisions should consider:

Location and accessibility: Equipment located in hard-to-reach areas may have higher disposal costs.

Type of equipment and components: Some equipment has specific disposal requirements, especially if it contains hazardous materials or valuable components that can be recycled.

These assessments align with whole-life asset management by identifying factors that impact disposal costs and potential environmental effects, ensuring the responsible removal of assets.
