We sanitize hard drives and solid-state drives to NIST 800-88 R2 standards before equipment leaves your possession. From there, computers are transferred to a certified e-waste recycler, where they’re sanitized again as an added layer of protection. If your business requires physical destruction of storage media — for compliance reasons or extra peace of mind — we work with a specialized recycler that physically shreds the drives instead.

Compliance requirements vary by industry and organization, so we’d defer to your compliance officer or attorney to confirm what your specific obligations require. Our standard process — NIST 800-88 R2 sanitization plus certified recycler handling — is designed to meet widely recognized data destruction standards. If your business has additional or specific requirements around asset disposal, we’re happy to discuss how we can accommodate them.

Yes. We use established sanitization software that generates certificates for our own data-wiping process, and our e-waste recycling partners also provide their own certificates of destruction. If you need a certificate of destruction, let us know before we pick up your equipment — that ensures the right documentation gets generated at every step of the process.

That depends on the facility handling your equipment and your specific requirements. By default, functional hardware may be resold, recycled, or destroyed at the recycling facility’s discretion. If you’d prefer your hardware not be resold, let us know — we can direct it to one of our partner facilities that destroys all hardware and separates the metals for recycling, rather than reselling any of it.

We handle disposal requests of any size, from a single old computer to a few dozen items. For larger-scale disposals, reach out and we’ll see if we can accommodate your needs directly — and if we can’t, we’re happy to point you toward someone who can.
