Shredding is specifically noted as a proper disposal method for old data by most data privacy legislation.

• Product Destruction

  SECURELY DESTROY SENSITIVE AND CONFIDENTIAL WASRE MATERIALS Sensitive, unsalable, and confidential waste poses a significant risk to your company. Throwing it in the trash is not an option. Our certified, secure destruction service eliminates this waste, minimizing your risk and providing peace of mind. MATERIALS WE ACCEPT FOR PRODUCT DESTRUCTION We accept a variety of products and materials, including: - Consumer-packaged products labeled “not to be sold” - Sensitive and classified materials, including paper documents - Prototypes, research and development materials, and retained samples - Contraband and counterfeit materials - Textiles or branded clothing - Non-hazardous special waste With our secure product destruction service, you can be confident that your company is reducing risk and liability. Businesses throughout Southern Missouri and Northwest Arkansas trust us to destroy their sensitive products and materials. SECURE PRODUCT DESTRUCTION FOR BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES Businesses and government agencies often need to dispose of faulty, counterfeit, expired, recalled, or otherwise unusable products that do not meet their standards. Only physical product destruction ensures that returned, discontinued, regulated, or unwanted products will not reenter the marketplace. This is important for protecting consumers from defective or counterfeit products, protecting a company’s brand from shoddy or hazardous product distribution, and protecting the public from materials from government agencies that should not be in civilian hands, such as gun magazines, tactical vests, law enforcement badges, and more. Computer Recycling Center provides certified destruction services to ensure your brand and business is protected at all times. Depending on your product destruction requirements, we can use a variety of destruction processes, including shredding, crushing, and manual destruction, to achieve the desired results. Destroying products with our product destruction services helps protect your organization from liability, damage to your brand, or a breach of proprietary information. RESONS TO USE PRODUCT DESTRUCTION SERVICES Sometimes products are recalled, expire, do not meet safety or quality standards, get damaged in transit, or need to be removed from the market for other reasons. While many businesses try to upcycle or recycle their off-spec and outdated goods, there are some instances in which the products must be destroyed entirely and proper disposal rules must be followed. Our Product Destruction Services are secure, confidential, and certified. BRAND PROTECTION Off-spec and outdated products that are not destroyed or upcycled by the manufacturer often end up on the gray market, where legitimate products are sold through unofficial distribution channels. The original manufacturer does not profit, and consumers who buy the products do not have access to any manufacturer’s offers, such as warranties or customer service. Since the goods sold on the gray market are usually faulty, outdated, or otherwise substandard, consumers may associate your business’ brand with these low-quality products. Secure product destruction helps protect your brand. There is also the risk of unofficial channels illegally gaining access to the products and selling them. For example, defective products sent to a landfill may be illegally taken and sold. Secure product destruction prevents this from happening. LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE There are laws and regulations governing the disposal of certain products. Failing to follow these laws can result in fines and legal penalties. Secure product destruction ensures compliance with these laws and regulations. DATA PROTECTION Some products, such as computers and smartphones, may contain sensitive data that needs to be protected. CRC’s secure product destruction service ensures that this data is securely destroyed and that the product cannot be accessed or reused, then we responsibly recycle the materials.

• Mobile Data Destruction Services

  PROTECT YOUR COMPANY FROM DATA BREACHES WITH ON-SITE DATA DESTRUCTION Data breaches are becoming more common, which is why companies are seeking ways to proactively manage digital data, both in their live environment and on retired assets. On-site data destruction is increasingly being mandated by large and small companies to remove all data security risks associated with transporting data-bearing assets. OUR ON-SITE DATA DESTRUCTION SERVICES - Computer Recycling Center provides a suite of mobile data destruction services, including: - On-site data destruction via degaussing, erasure, or on-site hard drive shredding - Inventory validation – all serial numbers of storage devices are recorded to provide audit trails and facilitate final inventory reconciliation, inventory reporting, and Certificates of Data Destruction - Secure, temporary storage of destroyed media, including shredded hard drives on truck - Certified recycling of destroyed drives at our facility in Springfield, Missouri MEET KEY DATA SECURTIY GUIDELINES With CRC, you can trust that you are working with an industry leader that will protect your data and your company’s reputation. Our services meet NIST 800-88 r1, and help meet regulatory requirements, including GDPR. We are indemnified by Downstream Data Coverage Insurance, cyber security insurance to shield you against data breach liability. LARGE OR SMALL ON-SITE HARD DRIVE SHREDDING PROJECTS Our mobile shredding trucks are equipped with industry-leading shredding technology to ensure that your data is completely destroyed. We can perform data destruction for thousands of storage devices daily, and clients can witness the secure data destruction at their location. We offer this service throughout Southern Missouri and Northwest Arkansas. LOCKABLE STORAGE BINS We offer lockable storage bins to secure accumulated hard drives until destruction services are provided. These tamper-proof bins hold hard drives, CDs, DVDs, thumb drives, mobile phones, and other data-bearing storage devices until collections are sufficient to warrant a technician coming on site. These secure bins can also be used to transport storage devices to our facility for final processing. DATA ERASURE Drive erasure can also reduce the risks and costs associated with returning leased equipment. Erasing the hard drive instead of destroying it also enables you to redeploy the hard drive internally or resell it. This is a great solution for destroying data while ensuring value recovery. DEGAUSSING For NPM-magnetic media and tapes, data can be destroyed through the use of powerful electromagnetic fields that render the data unrecoverable. Degaussing is quick and easy, but it is only effective for magnetic drives and tapes and does not destroy data on solid state hard drives (SSDs). HARD DRIVE SHREDDING Our hard drive shredding service destroys data by physically destroying the hard drive. This method is effective for all types of hard drives.
