Our process is straightforward and simple for our customers, yet highly effective. Our hard drive destruction process is highly secure, maintaining an unbroken chain of custody and physically shredding your hard drives and data storage media so the information is permanently unrecoverable.
Why do we shred hard drives and other data storage media to such a strict standard? Because recycling your old office computer and other electronics without physically destroying the hard drive could result in your confidential information ending up in the wrong hands.
That’s why MWA offers our high-security hard drive and media destruction service.

How Our Hard Drive and Media Destruction Process Works

You remove hard drives or other data storage media from electronic devices so they can be securely shredded.
Step 2: Transport to Shredding Plant
Our service technician places your media in a locked collection container and transports it to our secure shredding plant.
Step 3: Shred Hard Drives
All hard drives and media are shredded into small pieces by our industrial-strength shredder to render their information irretrievable.
Step 4: Provide Documentation
We provide you with a Certificate of Destruction and a serial number list so you have complete documentation that you have a complete chain of custody and proof that the data has been destroyed in compliance with federal and state data privacy laws.
