How to destroy a hard drive.
WEEE Recycles shredders are specifically designed to destroy your hard drives so that data can never be retrieved or reconstructed. Physical destruction will ensure that your digital data is permanently destroyed.
WEEE Recycle offers two options shredding or Wiping
Hard Drive Shredding Services
Shreds your entire hard drive into small pieces using industrial grade destruction equipment. The hard drive shredding process destroys the drive platters, mechanisms, and the electronic components rendering the data unrecoverable.
Hard Drive Wiping
The default data wiping method for magnetic hard drives is D-Ban software if physical destruction is not requested. D-Ban software is also the default data destruction method for SSD drives. All HDD’s go through a 7-stage wipe that is a military grade process to make sure your data is completely unrecoverable.
- Barcode scan before shredding
- Tamper-proof lockable containers keeping hands off your materials
- Locked trucks and secure containers keep information safe in transit
- Lockable containers can be supplied to your site and just call us when they are ready (drivers will never have access to the containers)
- GPS-tracked Vehicles
- Secure facilities
We will provide you Proof of Protection.
Following every hard drive destruction service, you will receive a Certificate of Destruction confirming that your material has been securely destroyed. Your Certificate of Destruction is your audit trail to help demonstrate that your information is no longer at risk and your business is compliant with relevant data protection laws. This will include all serial numbers of drives for full traceability.
