Hard drive disposal and recycling in Hackney

Safe disposal of hard drives and SSDs in Hackney

Creative businesses work with fast storage, and most of it is now solid state. SSDs do not respond to degaussing the way magnetic drives do, so a method that suited the old server in the cupboard will not do for the editing workstations that replaced it.

We destroy SSDs and hard drives by shredding or crushing and will tell you which method suits each type before we begin. Collections run across the borough, including Dalston, Stoke Newington, Homerton and Clapton, and on-site destruction is available if you want to watch. There is no minimum order, which suits a studio with five drives as well as an agency with fifty.

Disposal methods

We can dispose of all standard magnetic hard drives and SSDs. The method is discussed before the job, and two can be used together for a greater level of security.

• Hard drive crushing: the drive is physically crushed so it cannot be read.
• Hard drive shredding: the drive is cut into fragments, then recycled.
• Hard drive degaussing: for magnetic drives, removing the magnetic field that holds the data.
• Data deletion and erasure: for drives that are to be reused or sold.

When the work is complete we issue a certificate of data destruction. Most jobs can be completed the same day, and there is no minimum order. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, data protection registration ZA060744.
