Saylor Recycle / Secure Data Destruction

Secure Data Destruction & Hard Drive Shredding

DoD-standard wiping or physical destruction, with a certificate.

Deleting a file does not remove it, and formatting a drive does not either. Anything that held business records, customer details or financial information needs to be wiped to a verifiable standard or physically destroyed. We do both, and we can document it.

How we destroy data

• DoD-standard multi-pass overwrite for drives being reused
• Physical shredding or drilling for drives that are retired
• Works on HDDs, SSDs, flash drives and memory cards
• Verification pass after wiping, so it is not taken on trust
• Certificate of destruction available on request

Who needs this

• Businesses retiring or replacing computers
• Anyone handling customer records, card data or health information
• Offices closing, moving or upgrading in bulk
• Individuals selling or donating a personal machine
• Anyone who has to show a paper trail for compliance

Drop-off or on-site

• Drop the drives with us and collect the certificate
• On-site service where the data cannot leave the building
• Bulk handling for office clear-outs
• Recycling of the leftover hardware included at no extra cost

Common questions

Is wiping enough, or should I destroy the drive?

If the drive is being reused, a verified multi-pass wipe is enough. If it is being retired, physical destruction removes any argument. We will tell you which applies.

Can you do this while I watch?

Yes. For sensitive material we can destroy on-site so nothing leaves your premises.

Do SSDs need different handling?

Yes. SSDs do not overwrite the same way traditional drives do, so we use the manufacturer's secure-erase command or physically destroy them.

Do I get proof?

A certificate of destruction is available on request, listing the devices and the method used.

What happens to the hardware afterwards?

It goes into our free recycling stream — refurbished, harvested for parts, or responsibly recycled.
