Secure Onsite Hard Drive Shredding FAQs

  • Why shred hard drives instead of wiping them?

    Deleting files or resetting a device can leave data that is still recoverable. Physically shredding the drive destroys it completely, which is the most reliable way to make sure the information can’t be retrieved.

  • Can I watch my hard drives being destroyed?

    Yes. We recommend shredding hard drives on site at your premises in our dedicated hard drive shredding truck, so you can see every drive destroyed.

  • Do I get a certificate of destruction?

    Yes. A certificate of destruction is issued immediately after on-site shredding. If you give us your asset list, we can record drive serial numbers so the certificate matches your records.

  • What happens to the rest of the computer equipment?

    Once the hard drives are destroyed, we can remove the rest of your redundant IT equipment for recycling at our Authorised Treatment Facility in Cheadle Hulme, in line with the UK WEEE regulations.

  • How quickly can you shred my hard drives?

    Same-day or next-day on-site destruction is often available locally for smaller quantities, and larger batches are scheduled to suit you. We can also quote for jobs outside our usual area.
