When data security is not handled with the care it deserves, it can lead to tarnished reputation and liability.Regardless of whether your industry is subject to stringent privacy laws and regulatory requirements, you cannot afford to risk sensitive information falling into the wrong hands. Even worse, a lapse in data security can cost a company millions.At ARC Broward IT Asset Recovery, our clients have entrusted us with their critical data, and we have rigorous checks in place to ensure that all storage media we process complies with strict data destruction guidelines.

Protection of your data is our number one priority when engaging in hard drive sanitization and the disposal of other electronic equipment containing sensitive information.

Residential Recycling

Recycling e-waste not only makes environmental sense but economic sense as well. By recycling electronics you are keeping them out of the landfills and allowing for the proper disposal of electronics that may contain hazardous or toxic substances. Recycling valuable elements and raw materials from end-of-life electronics, or e-cycling, is one of the most effective solutions to the growing e-waste problem.
Most electronic devices contain a variety of materials suitable for recovery and future uses including metals, engineered plastics, glass, and other materials. By introducing reuse possibilities, natural resources are conserved and the potential air and water pollution caused by hazardous disposal is mitigated. Ultimately, we all need to do our part to keep the environment green by recycling old computers and recycling electronics components.
