The electronics removal and technology consulting services E-Scrap Technologies launched a state-of-the-art hard drive shredder. The equipment is a welcome addition to its established recycling and destruction methods.

Such a method as secure removal of data from all viable computers is already provided by the company, but this new industrial-grade shredder will allow it to reach a new audience of organizations requiring an additional level of security when disposing of electronic materials.
This is explained by the Operations Manager Nathan Armstrong: “We have always offered our clients privacy and discretion when destroying and/or recycling their more secure storage devices. This machine allows us to offer an added level of satisfaction – our clients can be sure this machine has effectively done its job and they’ll also get a guarantee that their device has been destroyed and disposed of properly. Here, every client deals with an individual within our management team who oversees their project from start to finish. It is very important to us that every effort be made to maximize the client’s computer and electronics investment and, when it’s time, destroy the materials in a way that is environmentally responsible.”

After being destroyed, the shredded devices are scrapped for appropriate recycling of the metal and plastic components.

The shredder provides the energy efficient destruction of a variety of hard drive media including:
- IBM Data Tapes - Zip Disks
- CD's and DVD's - IBM VXA-2 SCSI Tape Hard Drives
- DAT 72 Tapes - Non Hot-Plug SATA Hard Drives
- IBM Simple-Swap SATA II Hard Drives - DLTtape III XT
- Quantum DLT Tapes - CompacTape
- Electronic Media - General Server Tapes

The electronic recycling industry is so new that only recently has the government begun to regulate the way used electronics can be disposed of. E-scrap technologies collects and sorts many types of computer and related items and recycles them by de manufacturing the components and selling the individual raw materials, or by reselling the useful parts. Located in Bolingbrook, Ill., the company E-Scrap Technologies offers electronic recycling, networking, installations and consulting services to mid-sized businesses, non-profit and governmental organizations throughout the Midwest. E-Scrap Technologies can safely and efficiently manage the disposal of any electronic device.
