A New Arrival at Electronic Recycling




A big welcome to our new Ulster U45 Shredder, which will enable us to process larger volumes of equipment at faster speeds and provide an even more secure hard drive destruction service to our clients



The new shredder was purchased to replace our older single shaft shredder, which was originallypurchased to shred high value printed circuit boards and struggled with any sort of volume of hard drives.


The ultimate security method for making certain that your valuable or sensitive data is destroyed is for the total destruction of the hard drive. The end product is then sent to our smelting partners where the various metals are recovered for reuse



In previous BLOGS we haveconstantly emphasised the importance of data security and as the amount of data stored electronically grows by the day, it is more important than ever to make certain that your valuable informationdoes not fall into the wrong hands.



Managing and protecting sensitive data is very important and companies need to be extremely careful when disposing of IT equipment that contains sensitive data. There are many reports of computers, with their hard drives intact, being found in open markets around the world or on eBay and there is also a market for used data tapes. Deleting files or even reformatting a hard drive does not remove the information, as this can be restored using readily available software.
