Old computer devices such as laptops or hard drive parts can contain lots of confidential data and information. This means you need to think about the security of such assets when organising a disposal. Computer recycling is one of the most safe and secure computer disposal methods as long as data destruction is included in the process. However, you'll need to use a company that provides end-to-end recycling solutions for WEEE waste.
If you're looking for ways to destroy a hard drive before recycling a computer, the most important part is the disk. Even if you break the hard drive or attempt to wipe it of personal information, someone with the right technical expertise may be able to recover the data. To make things easy for you, when you book computer recycling with Gigacycle, we can complete the data destruction as part of our process.
Hard drive destruction can be selected if you no longer need the device or want it erased of confidential and sensitive data files before it's used again. If your hard drive requires a physical destruction, a data shredding service is often the most suitable option. This ensures the device can never be recovered.
Hard drives are made up of disks known as platters. When someone simply breaks a hard drive, not all of these platters may get broken, so shredding is a great solution. During this process, the hard drive is passed through a shredder which decimates it into small parts, sometimes as small as 6 millimetres in size.
Other options for hard drive destruction include degaussing, which scrambles the data on the device so that it can't be used again. However, if you want to recycle the hard drive by reusing it in other equipment or even selling your old computer, data erasure is the best solution, overwriting digital information on the equipment.
Data erasure techniques involve specialist data destruction software programs. The system will overwrite all data files on the device several times to wipe and erase it of confidential information. This ensures any data left is unreadable. After you erase the device, it can then be updated and used again. The software system will always confirm whether the erasure was completely successful. Even if just one tiny block of the data files isn't overwritten, the software will fail the process.
Yes. For all hard drives and other equipment securely wiped of personal files, an official certificate of data destruction is generated. This will show the unique serial number of the device and asset barcode so that you can see this document on your client portal audit trail that we give you access to.
Yes. Whether your old computer is broken or working, we offer secure recycling solutions. We can repair computer parts if possible, refurbishing anything from the monitor to the keyboard. However, if the computer is broken beyond repair, we can always break it down into its raw materials to recycle these individually or use in other equipment.
Please note, reusing old computers and hard drives is one of the most eco-friendly recycling options. The process of breaking the equipment down into separate parts and manufacturing new products can release more energy than performing an IT refurbishment service.
Old computer devices and printers can be safely disposed of by a secure computer recycling service. Contact us if you require a quote for any of our IT asset management services.
A secure disposal will encompass a range of strict measures to make sure the safety of your data and assets is paramount. Always pick a recycling service with some of the following benefits.

We offer a variety of WEEE compliant recycling solutions, from hard drive destruction to data security advice. Here are some of the options available.
We offer an end-to-end IT asset disposal service, leading the way in the UK computer recycling industry. All of our IT disposal services are completed in accordance with both the WEEE Directive and Environment Agency standards, using our own fleet of vehicles for every collection.
We work with a wide range of clients, both new and old, from small and large businesses to individuals and project managers. With a proven track record, companies trust us to manage the disposal of their IT equipment from start to finish.

Whether you'd like us to erase your data-carrying media devices or shred your hard drive equipment, we offer the best data destruction services. This is a great way to meet all your data security requirements when planning hard drive recycling or a computer disposal service. We use up to date, recommended techniques to destroy data, from our CPNI approved shredding machines to our erasure programs which are in-line with some of the highest government-set standards.
Our data shredding services are ideal if you don't want to reuse the device after we wipe it or the erasure process fails. It's an additional way to make sure that personal and sensitive data on your devices can never be restored. We can either perform the shredding service at our secure facility in Manchester, or you can request for us to bring our mobile shredding machines to your premises. We can even arrange for you to witness the hard drive shredding or erasure process at our data security facility if you need this in order to meet the terms of your company information security privacy policy. We shred anything from mobiles and USB sticks to hard drives and magnetic media.
Recycling computer parts doesn't always mean you take the raw materials and recycle them as individual materials. In fact, one of the most environmentally friendly options is to update or refurbish the computer so that it's like a new asset that you can use in your company. We manage some of the largest IT installation, decommissioning and relocation projects, with our skilled computer engineers attending your site to perform such services in full. We can decommission hardware for relocation or asset management and prepare new equipment with custom software. We'll then manage the installation of assets back at your premises.
As part of our IT decommissioning and IT installation services, we can manage the redeployment of assets within your businesses. This means you'll save money by reusing old equipment elsewhere, refurbishing and updating everything from windows computers to software. We also perform computer hardware repairs, replacing keyboards, system monitors and screens, using highly skilled processes. After completion, you can still decide to use our marketing channels if you'd prefer cash back on assets sold.
We have the technical ability, expertise and capacity to provide your business or organisation with excellent IT support services. Our safe and secure services continue to take place under the highest security levels, giving you access to vetted, qualified staff who can manage your computer support requirements. This includes managed IT backups, ongoing maintenance, site visits and live, ticketed support.
Worried about data security at your businesses and whether you comply with all UK regulations? Ask our team to perform a GDPR health check for you. We may even look at your processes and recommend the implementation of secure destruction services. We'll review your written agreements and assess your GDPR compliance to make sure your business meets and surpasses requirements. We can also check any data privacy policies you have in place.

There's working CCTV throughout our premises and 24-hour patrols on-site for extra measure. It would be hard to find a waste recycling facility as secure as ours!

You'll be able to see exactly what stage each of your assets is at, whether they've just been collected, have been through data destruction or sold.
