Have you ever imagine that if a hard drive is not destroyed properly, it will cause great trouble?
With the adoption of the WEEE directives by the EU, the disposal of redundant IT and computer equipment has become an issue for all businesses in the UK. However when disposing of old computers care has to be taken with consideration to the absolute destruction of the data drive in the computer, the Data Protection Act requiring that “Due Care” is taken to ensure that the process of “computer hard disc destruction” is fully and correctly carried out.
This is to ensure that no personal data is ever obtainable from old computer, studies having shown that at the moment over half of the computers that are recycled have data on their hard drives, data that could be extracted. This is in contravention of the Data Protection Act and leaves the previous owners of the machine open to prosecution and fines. Which company is your best choice with this complicated issue? I think Enviro Friendly Computing Ltd can really help a lot.
