Secure data deletion & disposal

Getting rid of an old computer? We'll wipe it properly or destroy the drive.

  • Old computer or laptop you
  • Drawer of old hard drives
  • Broken computer that still has
  • Family member's computer after they've

Deleting files or resetting a computer doesn't always remove your information. We securely wipe old computers, laptops and drives so nothing can be recovered, physically destroy drives where that's the safer option, give you a certificate, and take old devices away for recycling.

How we fix it

How we wipe and dispose of devices

  1. Save what you want to keep

    We copy any files you need before anything is wiped.

  2. Sign out of accounts

    Apple, Microsoft and Google accounts removed, so the device isn't locked to you.

  3. Wipe securely, or destroy

    Drives wiped with a secure method so nothing can be recovered, or physically destroyed when a drive has failed or you'd rather be certain.

  4. Give you a certificate

    A record of what was wiped or destroyed, and when.

  5. Recycle or return

    Devices ready to sell or give away, or taken away for recycling.

Questions

Secure deletion answered

Isn't a factory reset enough?+

Not always. A reset can leave information that recovery tools can find. A secure wipe overwrites the drive so it can't be recovered.

When should a drive be destroyed instead of wiped?+

When it has failed and can't be wiped, or when you'd rather be certain. We physically destroy it so it can't be read.

Do I get proof it's been done?+

Yes. We give you a certificate listing what was wiped or destroyed, and when.

Can you take my old devices away?+

Yes. We take old computers and drives away for recycling once they've been wiped or destroyed.

How is this charged?+

By technician time at our standard rates, with the scope confirmed before we start. See Pricing.
