Recycle Techs offers a secure and
cost-effective way to get rid of your retired computers
and other office equipment safely while conforming to
EPA standards. Most electronics recycled through Recycle
Techs will be demanufactured a Washington State assigned facility.

Hard
drive Sanitizing:
At Recycle Techs we take data removal very seriously. We understand the importance of securely removing all data from all hard drives to keep our clients and their customer's information confidential. That is why we offer a secure way to destroy your information before disposal. We use professional software that removed the data and writes over the disk. We DO NOT format which is proven to not remove data. We have 4 different data removal options:
Single-pass quick sanitize method ($3.99 or free with $4 computer recycle):
A quick, single-pass sanitize method, that overwrites all disk data with zero characters. This type of sanitizing is able to stop all software recovery tools (un-format and un-erase tools, low level disk editors, etc.) from recovering the original data stored on disk. This is the U.S. Department of Defense approved method for clearing disks, but not for sanitizing disks with secret information.
Triple-pass
Navy standards method ($6.99 per drive):
A three
pass sanitize method conforming to Navy Staff Office
Publication #5239 and Information Systems Security (INFO
SEC) Program Guidelines, which is issued by the Naval
Information Systems Management Center.
Seven-pass
DOD sanitizing method ($9.99 per drive):
A
high security seven pass sanitize method performed to
the U.S. Department of Defense standards (DOD
5220.22-M). With
more federal regulations being passed to protect
customer information, large institutions and small
businesses will need to securely destroy all sensitive
data from storage devices using this method.
Shredding sanitizing
method ($9.99 per drive):
The
highest form of sanitizing. Each hard drive is rendered
unusable and shredded beyond recognition.
Our
donation centers include:
Goodwill, The ARC, Salvation Army, various schools and
organizations. |
