Hard-drive shredding & secure data destruction.

Data-bearing equipment is not limited to loose hard drives. Drives can be inside servers, desktops, laptops, storage arrays, copiers, DVRs, medical equipment, tablets, phones, and backup systems. Erecycler helps customers identify the media stream first so destruction is documented before the remaining electronics are recycled.

For small batches, Ship to Destroy creates a documented mail-in path. For larger projects, we can pick up in Dallas-Fort Worth, destroy onsite when required, or process the media at our Garland facility under chain of custody. For IT refreshes and server-room work, we can combine destruction with ITAD asset reporting and server recycling.

Certificates can be supported by serial capture, asset tags, scan sheets, pickup records, photos, and project notes depending on the level of reporting required.

Reformatting and deletion leave data recoverable. For regulated data — patient records under HIPAA, financial data under GLBA and FACTA — physical destruction to NIST 800-88 is the defensible standard. We destroy the media, document the serial, and certify the result, so a retired drive can never become a breach.

Need the rest of the hardware gone too? We recycle every component to zero landfill and can fold destruction into a full ITAD program with serialized reporting.
