Electronics Recycling

DataShield’s pledge to keeping your data safe naturally extends to Electronics Recycling because the information that is still on your old computers, phones, copiers and other equipment should never fall into the wrong hands. We do not resell any storage components (HDDs) that contain data or information (see Data Destruction for more information). While there is money to be made in reselling used hard drives and storage components, the simple fact remains that your security is top priority with us.That’s why DataShield physically shreds hard drive and storage components then recycles the scrap, GUARANTEEING that your data is safe and irretrievable.

At DataShield, we are committed to doing our part to preserve the environment by ensuring that every piece of your old equipment is properly recycled. Electronic scrap contains hazardous and non-biodegradable material such as lead, lead solder, plastic, copper, chromium, beryllium, cadmium, barium, nickel, zinc and older models may contain mercury. We properly dispose of these hazardous materials and recycle the rest according to the strict guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency.We are partnered locally witn ENCOR. (See our Community Involvement page for more information on ENCOR) Our current pilot program utilizing ENCOR involves the demanufacturing of printers after they have gone through a screening process where the hard drives are removed. In addition to our effort to preserve the environment, our electronics recycling program is helping the community.This pilot program allows us to contribute funding and assist with the development of additional employment opportunities through electronic recycling. DataShield partnered with ENCOR last year and is delighted to be helping their cause.

Data Destruction

Compromised data can damage your company’s reputation and cost thousands of dollars if you are found to be in violation of state or federal compliance regulations. Simply moving data and files to the trash does not securely delete the digital files stored on your electronic devices. When you decommission electronic equipment such as laptops, computers, printers, scanners, servers, phone systems, cellphones and tablets, we believe the only way to guarantee that your data is protected and irretrievable is to physically destroy the components that store the information.

DataShield provides physical data destruction both in our controlled access Secured Destruction Area and with our On-site Mobile destruction service. DataShield has the area’s only truly mobile shredder that can be brought directly in your company’s IT room. We service the ENTIRE Midwest with our On-site Mobile destruction service and our service area includes Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota and South Dakota.DataShield Shredded Hard Drive ScrapBoth of the destruction methods utilized by DataShield have earned AAA NAID Certification.
