Go Green Hard Drive Destruction
Los Angeles businesses, homes and organizations are collecting and storing sensitive data with ever more sophisticated technology. At the same time, handling waste in a responsible manner is getting more complex, too. Electronic waste (e-waste) is problematic for a number of reasons—especially when it comes to physical storage media, such as hard drives, Flash drives, floppy disks, CDs and DVDS, data cassettes, cartridges and other types of media. But Go Green Mobile Shredding offers an easy solution for hard drive destruction in Los Angeles. Go Green offers our customers two key benefits:
Secure Hard Drive Disposal
When you delete data from a hard drive, it’s not really gone. Rather, the system reassigns it as “free space” and leaves it untouched until another program wants to use the disk space. But if that sector isn’t overwritten, that data can easily be recovered using any number of data recovery programs available on the Internet. This can even be done on hard drives that have failed or are otherwise unusable. Because of this, physical destruction of hard drives is the only secure disposal method. Some computer owners opt to drill holes through their hard drives—but even this won’t stop a determined hacker. At Go Green, we come right to your door and shred your hard drives on-site. That way, they can’t be intercepted prior to destruction and there is no possible way that anyone could ever recover the data.
Sustainable Hard Drive Destruction
Los Angeles businesses especially understand the importance of environmental friendly business practices. Hard drives are constructed out of circuit boards, magnetic metals and other materials—but mostly, they consist of aluminum. When compared to producing aluminum from ore, recycling aluminum is 95 percent more energy efficient and causes 95 percent less air pollution and 97 percent less water pollution. And with Go Green, your e-waste never touches a landfill.
Getting start with mobile hard drive destruction is easy—we’ll come right to your door, shred your hard drives on-site and take it to a certified recycling facility. The only thing you have to do is call Go Green at (877) 821-0218 to schedule a pickup time.
