Hard Drive Destruction Service

The majority of businesses don’t use a professional service to physically destroy old hard drives, USBs or other hardware that contain confidential information. Only physical shredding and disposal ensures the data on an old hard drive is 100% destroyed.

Your old technology could make or break your business

If your hard drive disposal process includes erasing, reformatting, wiping or degaussing old hard drives, you and your customers are still vulnerable. In fact, as long as the drives are physically intact, private information can still be retrieved.
