IT & Media Destruction

The Requirement
Many companies are failing to securely dispose of their old IT equipment, making them vulnerable to data exposure. Hard drives containing employee, customer and product information may not be cleansed and reformatted correctly such that sensitive data may still be recovered. In the wrong hands, the consequences are unthinkable.

In direct response to customer need, Shredall is now offering a secure collection, shredding and recycling service.

As well as meeting the security needs of the customer, Shredall helps the customer meet their environmental and ethical needs by ensuring that their equipment is recycled wherever possible.

This is in line with Shredall’s commitment to its 100% recycling target for all non-contaminated customer waste and in keeping with our ISO 14001 accreditation.

The Process
First of all, contact us with your Hazardous Waste Registration Number! We need this in order to collect your IT Equipment (which may include computers, hard-drives, monitors, printers, etc). In return, we will collect your redundant equipment and provide appropriate Duty of Care documentation, ie, a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note.

Your IT Equipment will be collected by a Shredall vehicle (secure to BS 8470 including uniformed employees who are screened to BS 7858 and in possession of a CRB disclosure) and transported to Shredall’s secure facility ready for destruction and recycling.

Where a more sophisticated level of IT Equipment collection service is required, Shredall offers a barcode-managed service. Please ask for further details.All hard drives or memory products are shredded to BS 8470, all other IT Equipment is shredded or reduced, and across the board all ‘end product’ is recycled where practical. Shredall issues a Certificate of Destruction for all IT Equipment collected and shredded.

Our Opinion
Shredall does not endorse the selling on of IT Equipment (or parts) for reuse or refurbishment by third parties. Shredding is, in our opinion, the most robust method of data destruction and therefore protection available to our customers.

If you require further information or guidance on this important issue, or wish to arrange a collection, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0800 393 178 or sales@shredall.co.uk
