Most of our collections are free, depending on the type and quantity of equipment.

Assets are either refurbished for resale, donated, or recycled in line with WEEE regulations.

Every data-bearing device is securely erased or physically destroyed, with a certificate issued.

Yes, we provide detailed audit trails so you know exactly what’s happened to each device.

Data wiping permanently removes all information from a storage device using certified software, making the data completely unrecoverable while allowing the hardware to be reused or resold.
Data destruction, on the other hand, involves physically destroying the storage device — such as shredding, crushing, or degaussing — to ensure that no trace of data remains.
Both achieve the same security goal, but wiping preserves hardware value, while destruction guarantees total physical elimination.

Before any device is reused, resold, or recycled, we securely erase all stored data using approved erasure methods. Every drive or storage component is wiped or physically destroyed depending on its condition and sensitivity. Once complete, you receive a certificate of data destruction confirming full compliance and proof that no data remains accessible.

While it’s possible to attempt basic deletion or physical damage at home, these methods are rarely effective or compliant with data protection standards. Even “deleted” files can often be recovered using simple software tools. Our certified process ensures complete and verifiable data destruction, supported by an audit trail and certification — protecting you from costly data breaches and regulatory penalties.
