Ecycle Computer Recycling

Hard Drive Shredding


We use an advanced security tool, which allows us to completely remove (shredding) sensitive data from your hard disk(s) by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns. Including the one defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual of the US Department of Defense and also pseudorandom data.


The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann's paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" and they are selected to effectively remove the magnetic remnants from the hard disk making it impossible to recover the data.

 

More information can be found out  here --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_remanence


If we are unable to remove the data from any Hard Drvie it is Physically destroyed and sent to local metal recyclers.


If you have some computers or Hard Drives you would like

us to pick up and recycle for you please let us know. We

are more than willing to help. This is a FREE service


Don`t want your old HDD reused not a problem we can issue you with a privacy statment stating they will be destroyed and not reused.
