How can I ensure my data is secure?

Aren’t all electronics recyclers the same? What makes Revolution different?
There are many companies in the market claiming to recycle, but what are they really doing with your equipment once they’ve picked it up? The only way to really know is to make sure your recycler holds the same types of certifications that Revolution does. If they don’t, they’re not being properly held accountable to industry accepted practices for managing data and environmental risk.

Once Revolution has shredded my hard drive, where does the crushed or shredded hard drive go?
After destruction, the broken or shredded hard drive material is shipped directly to an approved processor (Shift Recycling), where it is further processed to the commodity level, separating circuit boards, aluminum, palladium, and other non ferrous metals. This process maximizes value while minimizing risk.

Can Revolution issue a Certificate of Destruction?
A Certificate of Data Destruction is issued upon the completion of every secure data destruction job.

Additional information such as hard drive make and capacity, and/or the serial number of the computer or server that each drive was removed from, can be included on the CODD upon request. Additional charges will apply.

Our business is refreshing our IT systems and our used equipment is still worth something! How can Revolution help me securely maximize that value of my assets?
We’ll maximize the value by repairing and reselling what can be remarketed and recycling what can’t. Our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) department can help you determine the best options for your used equipment. ITAD services are typically custom quoted – so give us a call to discuss your needs. Generally speaking, equipment suitable for ITAD will be no more than five years old.
