WEEE RECYCLING

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Confidential data that is stored on hard drives, flash drives (memory sticks) and
optical disks (CD’s & DVD’s) is a prime target for data thieves. By simply
deleting the files or even formatting a disk unfortunately this is not enough to
guarantee that data will be properly wiped out.

Whether you throw it away or let it lie forgotten in deep storage, a hard drive you no longer use is a data-loss timebomb just waiting to go off. The best course of action is to destroy it completely. It’s a step many people overlook, but it is the only way you can be sure that the data cannot be retrieved by fraudsters or identity thieves.

Our objective is to ensure businesses feel confident when it comes to data erasure. We work towards this with a robust strategy to ensure that IT equipment is securely transported and handled from point of collection to point of data-safe and subsequently to end of life or refurbishment, meeting all of your business’s legal and environmental obligations under GDPR.
