Who do you pick up from?

We focus on businesses, schools and other organizations: offices, IT departments, clinics, property managers and more. If you’re not sure whether your pick up qualifies, ask us.

Yes, for a haul-away fee.

Data destruction

Why can't I just wipe or reformat my hard drives?

Wiping can work when it’s done correctly and verified, but reformatting and deleting files usually leave data recoverable. As long as a drive is physically intact, information can potentially be retrieved. Physical destruction removes the doubt. Learn more.

Do you provide proof of destruction?

Yes. On your written request, we provide a Letter of Responsibility for Destruction. What is a letter of destruction?

How is my data protected before destruction?

Our process includes secure collection and handling and a documented chain of custody.

Recycling

Where do my electronics go?

To four different R2-certified recyclers. What is R2 certification?

Is it legal to throw computers in the trash in Pennsylvania or New Jersey?

No. Both states ban many electronics, including computers, laptops, monitors and TVs, from regular trash. Read the details.
