For data security measures, we shred all harddrives and storage media.

If an item is deemed not working, we will attempt to fix it and if that fails, it will be broken down to its base components and recycled.
It’s a simple process! Once we have your storage media secured, it is then screen and bonded by a professional for immediate, on-site destruction via machine shredders. During shredding, all storage media are rendered indecipherable, so confidential data cannot be accessed again. The whole process takes place in a matter of minutes while you watch. After the process is complete, you are given a Certificate of Destruction.
You should destroy them. A recent study by the National Association of Information Destruction (NAID) found that 40 percent of used electronic devices sold on the secondhand market contained personally identifiable information (PII). The risk of identity theft isn’t worth the money you might make from selling your drives.
Even if you delete files from your drives, there’s no guarantee you’ve removed all traces of sensitive data from them. With the right tools, whoever buys your deleted hard drives can still access sensitive data left behind. The only way to be absolutely sure your data isn’t compromised is by using a hard drive and digital media destruction service.
Many provincial and federal laws require expired digital media to be disposed of in a secure and environmentally-friendly manner. If you do not choose to physically shred your storage media, your data may be stolen or used by third parties.
