In today's world of ever-increasing technologies, many companies are now faced with the task of disposing of old hard drives and media that are no longer used, known as e-waste.
There are different categories of e-waste from household products to items that you would only see in a work office. Office companies with e-waste such as memory sticks, disk drives and hard drives need to determine what to do with this e-waste, especially since sensitive and identifying information is stored on these devices. Recycling these old products is one of the best ways to get rid of past data in a safe and eco-friendly way.
You must be wondering how electronic waste is recycled? One of the main ways this happens is through physical destruction of equipment. The process however starts before that when a request is made to a company that wants to get rid of its e-waste. A third party e-waste recycling company will go directly to the company and collect the e-waste by depositing it in a closed container, before taking it to a destruction facility.
Once it arrives at the facility, all e-waste devices are entered into an itemized list and scanned once it is ready for shredding. The equipment is put into a machine that will physically destroy the e-waste; After that, all recycled material is collected and recycled. Once all items are destroyed and recycled, a certificate of destruction, along with a detailed destruction log, will be provided back to the company.
