Hard Drive Shredding

Your computer's hard drive contains more sensitive data than a room full of file boxes. Electronic information is already covered by the HIPAA and FACTA privacy laws. Individuals should take no less care when retiring obsolete computers. Many people buy used computers for the sole purpose of taking information off the hard drives.

When you retire your computers you need to make sure the data is properly destroyed. Formatting the drive is ineffective. Special software can wipe the data on your hard drive but are slow and require you to start up every computer to wipe them. Shred Nations physically destroys the hard drives to prevent access by any means.

You also need to dispose of all electronics properly for compliance with EPA and state hazardous waste requirements. All of our locations properly recycle the raw materials from the electronics after they are physically destroyed.

Hard drives can be shredded at your location or at a secure facility. The bits are separated into component parts and recycled.
