How it works

What we take

Desktops and towers, laptops, servers and network gear, hard drives and SSDs, keyboards, mice, cables and chargers, working monitors 24" and up, and working smart TVs from 50" to 65" with the remote.

What it costs. Pickup, the drive wipe and the certificate are free. Broken monitors, TVs and printers are $10 each. Three computers minimum (text us anyway if you have fewer). We don't take CRTs, loose batteries, or anything made in 2013 or earlier.

What happens to the data

Every drive comes out of the machine and its serial number is logged first. Hard drives get a verified overwrite to NIST SP 800-88, the federal standard. SSDs and NVMe drives get the drive's own firmware erase, because an overwrite can't reach all of the flash. Then you get a certificate listing every drive, its serial, the method and how it was checked.

Need the drives physically destroyed instead? That's done on request through our shredding partner, who issues their own certificate. We never drill a drive and call it destroyed.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Pickup, the wipe and the certificate cost nothing. The only charge is $10 for each broken monitor, TV or printer.
