Redundant, out-of-date IT holding you back? The average lifecycle of IT these days is a mere 3 years
With technology advancing at what appears to be a rapidly increasing rate these days, it is not long before ‘the latest thing’ is classed as ‘out of date tech’. But, what do you do with your old IT? Take it to the local tip? Get charged for the privilege and take the chance that someone, dare we say it, unscrupulous gets their hands on your hard drive or any data holding element of your IT, and subsequently starts using it for ill-gotten gains.
Not only could this land you in the midst of a vast PR disaster, but also in hot water for breaking GDPR compliance regulations… as well as some pretty unhappy customers should their personal data be leaked and subsequently used for dodgy purposes.
The best course of action would be to find a reputable business, with an up-to-date waste carriers licence that can shred your hard drives, and any data holding device, rendering them useless and downstream the remainder of your IT which can be tracked and traced down to each component part if required.
Here’s where we come in. We have a waste carriers licence so we can collect from your business, we have a specialist shredder for Hard drives on-site. We can shred and recycle pretty much anything with a plug on the end of it, from laptops, hard-drives, monitors, keyboards, towers, and cables to consumables, phones, and printers.
For larger businesses for complete transparency, we can provide a downstream recycling report. We have the capability to provide a full audit trail/ WEEE Compliance, including noting part numbers for the certificate of destruction, when your IT is broken into component parts to be put into its recycling stream.
We also have the capacity for you to be able to watch your data-bearing devices being shredded if it is a requirement for you. You will receive a certificate of destruction for your records. This is a much safer way of getting rid of your surplus to requirements technology and gives you the peace of mind that your data and that of your clients are safe from any harm.
