PC Recycling Procedures
Hard Drive Destruction
When a PC comes into one of our partner facilities, the hard drive is removed for individual data destruction. We either destroy the hard drive (this can also be done on your premises) or we destroy the data on the hard drive.
This is done by taking the drive out of the original PC and temporarily installing it into a data destruction PC. This computer is used solely for the purpose of destroying sensitive data. After the drive is installed we utilize a DOD Department of Defense approved data destruction program called Drive Wipe. This program writes 1's and 0's across the entire drive three times. Once this is done the drive information cannot be recovered.
This is not the only step we take. Once the original data is erased we remove the drive and install it in a second machine and use another DOD approved program to erase the drive again. Finally when a drive has been erased by both programs successfully we utilize a large magnetic bulk eraser to erase the drive a last time. This is the same bulk eraser we use for all tapes and DLT tapes to erase data.
After the information is destroyed, we issue a Certificate of DATA Destruction for the drives to the original owners for their records, also called DDC Data Destruction Certificates.
