Secure and efficient hardware destruction
If you are looking to have your hard drives professionally destroyed and recycled then we are here to help you.
We use 2 types of destruction, most of the hard drives which are below 1TB are destroyed using a hydraulic ram with a spike. The spike is pressed through the hard drive and punches a hole which renders it unusable and impossible to retrieve information. The hard drive is then recycled for the precious metals inside such as palladium. If the hard drive is 1TB or higher then we wipe these and use a data wiping process which makes the hard drive unusable.
We believe in re-using all IT equipment when possible, but if you prefer for the hard drive to be destroyed using the spike then please tell us and we will ensure this is done.
When we collect your computers or laptops for recycling, we will remove the hard drive and destroy it using our own on-site hard drive destroyer which can render any hard drive unusable. This process is completed back at our warehouse as this requires small tools to remove covers and physically remove the hard drive from the tower or laptop. Surprisingly this process can take longer than you would think due to the complexity of PC’s and laptops.
How does our recycling service work?
We arrive with a professional vehicle and load your old electronics, complete the necessary paperwork and bring it back to our warehouse. Here we remove the hard drives for destruction and then segregate the different IT recycling streams. The different recycling components are collected by specialist IT recyclers who break the items down further to extract the valuable metals and the non-valuable items such as plastics and metals are melted down for reuse.
If you would like to take advantage of our basic IT recycling service, then we can collect your old IT equipment and old computers at the same time as your confidential shredding bags, boxes or full wheelie bins. We can recycle all types of used old IT office equipment such as computers, POS equipment, printers scanners, till points, telephone systems and TFT monitors, along with all types of old cabling.
If you have smaller electronic waste to recycle then we can supply our e-waste sacks. All electronic waste disposal is priced separately but the sack keeps your waste together and secure while it’s in your office and also while in transit to our warehouse for sorting, destroying and recycling. The sack comes with a security tag so you can secure the sack.
