Secure Data Destruction | Government Solutions

Cleanlites specializes in the handling of confidential data devices such as hard drives and servers. ALL Electronics and IT Equipment hold a certain level of memory in their internal storage. What most electronics recyclers don’t tell you is that they sell a great deal of their things downstream.

100% Destruction Guarantee: Unlike many electronics recyclers, Cleanlites is committed to a Zero Re-Sale policy. Why do we do this? Because when engaging in downstream asset sales, it is extremely difficult to track the end source.

That means that your old computer, laptop, or phone, could end up anywhere. Someone in the US that has ill intentions, somewhere across the globe where the information could be easily accessed, or somewhere polluting a landfill.

We promise the safe destruction of all these assets and additional to recycle them in a sustainable and efficient manor. Our shredder is audited and compliant with correct particle size and has been approved to destroy data containing devices beyond possible re-construction.

• Asset Recording & Certificates of Destruction: Cleanlites provides asset recording and CODs to all customers. Items that require asset recording and disposition are treated as separate commodities on our warehouse floor. We take the utmost caution in dealing with these products for the care of our customer and their liability.
• Secure Facilities: Our facilities are monitored 24 hours 7 days a week with multiple full range system cameras, glass break sensors, and locks. Once confidential data enters our facility it is kept separate from other electronic waste and destroyed within 72 hours of receipt.
• All of our staff have been background checked up to seven years where relevant and have been assigned “Access” Employee status, an exclusive right. As part of this, all of our employees have agreed to sign a non-disclosure of customer agreement and a privacy agreement stating that they promise to keep confidential data confidential.
• NAID Certification: Cleanlites has recently begun the process of system-wide changes to bring us into certification with the National Association of Information Destruction. Cleanlites maintains annual membership with the association and our first audit for certification is set to occur before 2015.
