At Recycle San Diego you can watch us physically destroy your hard drive right in front of you. If you are a business we can destroy hard drives at your location. There is no other better way to ensure that the information on your hard drives are not exposed to fraud or theft.
What is the Cost?
The cost of not having your hard drives destroyed is much greater than the cost to use our services. Protecting your identity and the identity of your customers is paramount .
The cost to destroy a few hard drives is just $20 per hard drive. If you are a business that has a large quantity of hard drives please contact us for a price quote. Often our prices are much lower for large quantities.
How do we do it?
We use a mobile hard drive crusher called the “Sledgehammer”. The hard drive crusher delivers a staggering 12,000 pounds of force to a conical punch causing catastrophic trauma to the hard drive chassis while destroying the internal platter.
Where do I go to watch my hard drives get destroyed?
You can come by our location Monday – Friday 8:30am to 5:00pm. Visit our location page.
What regulations are satisfied with our method?
Our destruction process meets: HIPAA, FACTA, and NIST Special Publication 800-88 requirements. We provide our customers with a Certificate of Assured Destruction which documents the quantity of hard drives destroyed. We can also include serial numbers for an additional fee.
