These e-waste products contain hazardous pollutants such as cadmium, lithium, arsenic, lead, dioxins and mercury. When e-waste is irresponsibly disposed of in our landfills, these substances leak into the groundwater and soil, becoming harmful to human health and the environment.

To comply with local regulations, any e-waste from non-residential sources must not be disposed of in landfills. Electronic waste must be recycled or taken to a hazardous waste facility.By responsibly recycling e-waste, we can not only benefit our environment, but our economy; our health; and our future.

Hard Drive Shredding

Confidential information in hard drives has also become a target for identity theft. When organizations upgrade their computers, they often remove the hard drives, use software to erase the data and send them to computer recyclers.

Although the programs erase the data, some just delete the directories on the drive and the actual data remains. Simply by using other available software, the information can be restored, giving someone access to confidential information believed to be destroyed. This leaves organizations vulnerable.

Erasing your hard drive doesn't mean the data's gone. Hard drive destruction is proven to be the only 100% secure way to destroy data from hard drives permanently. That means physically shredding the hard drive and disposing of the minute particles that remain.
