DATA DESTRUCTION
Data Destruction is a process governed by the Data Protection Act that ensures the practice of confidential data destruction as a necessity for any private or public sector company specialising in the computer recycling and reusing of electrical equipment industry.
Why destroy data?
Information stored within data holding parts contained within any office or IT equipment and portable media devices such as USB disks, CD’s, DVD’s and taped cassettes needs to be thoroughly erased before the commencement of destruction to the physical device.
How Does It Work?
Wiping
We use specialist equipment to remove the data from your hard drive at our facility.
Stripping
At our depot we strip the hard drive to its component parts ready for repair or re-use according to WEEE & RoHS regulations, and the Data Protection Act.
Destruction
The parts not being reused are destroyed completely, often by shredding. We also offer hard drive crushing, find out more about this here.
