Computer Recycling Requires Assured Destruction to Prevent Identity Theft

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- When you absolutely, positively need to know the data on your old hard drive has been destroyed, you’re welcome to watch at Recycle San Diego or your place of business.

The hard drive in a computer being recycled can be sold on the secondary market. In fact, the standard practice in the computer recycling industry is to reuse hard drives. Recycle San Diego’s data destruction system will render them useless, fully protecting their former owners.

“Our data security protocols are designed to protect your personal and business data as well as your reputation—and ours too,” says President Jeffrey Harding. “We work hard to make sure our customers feel safe and secure.”

Asset Remarketing Manager Kevin Fink adds, “We’re the only operation in San Diego County that’s using the Sledgehammer Hard Drive Crusher, and most people really enjoy watching it work.”

Recycle San Diego’s rigorous oversight of its Assured Destruction Services—all fully compliant with HIPAA, FACTA, and NIST Special Publication 800-88 requirements—minimizes customers’ risks by tracking their IT assets throughout the destruction process and by providing legal proof of destruction upon request.
