Integratechs can properly dispose of your old computer equipment, protecting your business from data loss and protecting the environment from hazardous materials.

Disposal

Proper disposal of aged IT equipment is important in order to maintain security of your sensitive data and to protect the environment.

Old computer disks, including hard drives, can often be used for many years to extract old data that was once held on the hard drive. Even most methods of "formatting" do not completely erase all of the data. This is because of the way in which data is actually stored on the disk. The only way to be certain that your data has been completely removed from the drive is to physically reset every single data point on the drive to either 0 or 1. After the drive has been completely overwritten, if it's not going to be reused, it should be destroyed using an industrial shredder. Integratechs can wipe and shred your old disks to ensure that your data never falls into the wrong hands.

Computers and monitors also contain several substances which are harmful to the environment. Power supplies and monitors, especially old tube style CRT monitors, can be particularly toxic and harmful to the environment. In many cases you cannot legally throw away aged computer equipment. Your business may be subject to fines for disposing of hazardous materials if you are caught. However, all computer equipment can be properly recycled. Integratechs has relationships with several computer recycling companies to properly recycle and dispose of your aged equipment
