Destroying computers

Professional data destruction for all your devices

Every company runs on data. That’s why it’s important that you handle your sensitive information carefully, especially when you no longer use devices. If you have old computers that you want to get rid of, safely removing the data from the hard drive is an important step. Whether you want to comply with the law or protect company information: professional data destruction prevents many problems and data breaches. At W3E, we are happy to help you in a safe and reliable way.

Sustainable data destruction and recycling

Recycling computers In our eyes, recycling is always better than destroying. At W3E, we want to maximize reuse to reduce the impact on the environment. Therefore, we prefer to professionally erase the data carriers. This allows us to safely give the PCs a second life without compromising data security. You will also receive an attractive residual value for your old computers. Together, we choose a sustainable solution that protects both your privacy and the planet. Should you still want to destroy the entire computer, we can of course arrange for this for you.

The importance of certified data destruction

Why is it smart to hire an expert for data destructionThe answer is simple: you protect your company and comply with privacy laws. Companies often work with customer data and financial documents. If you do not properly delete this data, you risk data breaches, legal problems, and reputational damage.

If you have your data certified destroyed on your computer, you have the assurance that the information is truly gone. With W3E, you always receive an official certificate at the end. This is your proof of inspections and audits that everything has taken place in accordance with the rules.

Methods for destroying computers

There are several ways to destroy hardware, each with its own advantages. Together with you, we will look at the best solution for your situation. At W3E we use the following methods:

Shred

When shredding, we physically destroy the hardware. Our machines shred the data carriers into very small pieces. Destroying a hard drive in this way means that data recovery is impossible. We disassemble the hard drives and pulverize them within seconds into a kind of confetti. Your data is thus immediately and permanently gone. Would you like to have the entire desktop destroyed? We do this in collaboration with a specialized partner.

Data removal

Would you like to have your recycling computers For reuse? Then we use our special Blancco software. With this software, we wipe the hard drive by overwriting the data several times. You receive a certificate that the hard drive is clean. This method is perfect if you want to clear your old computer but want to give the device a second life. We give a 100% guarantee that data recovery is no longer possible. 

Disposing of ICT equipment and dismantling server rooms

Which parts of a computer contain data?

Do you want to destroy an old computer? We ensure that your data does not fall into the wrong hands. When destroying the data, we pay special attention to the components that contain information:

  • Hard drives (HDD and SSD): This holds all your documents and passwords. Destroying the hard drive is the only way to ensure that no one can retrieve this data.
  • Fixed memory: Sometimes the storage is stuck in the device. We thoroughly address this and destroy the entire device.
  • Internal backup media: Sometimes there are additional small drives or memory cards in a system. These data carriers must of course also be destroyed. 

With our data carriers, your privacy is always well protected.
