Many companies regularly update or replace IT equipment, but fail to dispose of the redundant equipment correctly.
Instead, it often gets forgotten about and left in a cupboard or back room, leaving the business vulnerable to data exposure.
Even when computers are broken the information on them can still be recovered. If a hard drive containing employee, customer, banking and product information should fall into the wrong hands, it's a serious data breach.
To keep data secure, Shredall SDS Group doesn’t recommend selling IT equipment such as computers or parts of for reuse or refurbishment by third parties. In our opinion, shredding and recycling electronic items is the best way to protect confidentiality.
Our secure UK collection, shredding and recycling service is an easy way to deal with redundant electrical products and meet the WEEE (waste electrical and electronics equipment) directive.
Shredall SDS Group has a target to recycle 100% of non-contaminated waste as part of our ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certification.
