Data & Hard Drive Destruction
We offer a certified degaussing service using a very expensive piece of equipment that renders the entire hard drive or data bearing item completely useless. No one will be allowed to use it ever again for any purpose. This falls under all legal, ethical, certified guideline available for ALL industries.
Punching: Hard Drive: On-Site & Off-Site
Our punching service is a lower cost alternative to Degaussing and Shredding. This is a unique service that puts a hole through the equipment which renders it useless. Once a drive is punched it must be dismantled and sent to a refinery for precious metal recovery. This is a very popular option if you want to see the destruction but are limited on funds.
We recognize that data security is an equally critical part of Responsible Recycling as zero land filling and preventing toxic scrap from illegal export. Chicago Asset Recycling also offers customers (on request for a small fee) an onsite hard drive perforating or “punching” service and the drives are shredded once returned to the facility. Finally, upon processing your data/media storage equipment your company will receive by mail a ‘Certificate of Destruction’ which applies to the hard drives and other storage media as well as the equipment itself.
*The DoD 5220.22-M sanitization method was originally defined by the US National Industrial Security Program (NISP) in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)
