As with our Data Destruction Service,the Computer Destruction service offered by us is Environmentally sound. Each computer is broken down into component form. Cases are stripped bare of motherboards, memory, optical drives, add on cards and hard drives. Components are assesed for useability. Any useful components are fully tested. Where found to be faulty or beyond re-use, they are disposed of as follows:
Computer Cases and Power supplys are mainly steel. Plastics are removed and the metals recycled though our scrap metal contacts. Modern cases are retained and re-used in supplying low cost computer schemes.
Computer Motherboards, add on cards, memory and all circuit boards associated with drives are removed and melted down for metal extraction. Modern boards and motherboards under 3 years in age are re-distributed to allow for the maintenance of existing computer systems.
Faulty or Obsolete Hard Drives are Degaussed and then stored for sending of to be Shredded
|
Cables are removed and melted down for metal extraction. A percentage of cables are retained for re-use, reducing the need for new components to be manufactured.
Heat sinks are melted down into component alloy form through srcap metal merchants.
Processors are stripped and melted down for metals extraction. Newer processors are re-used to reduce the need for new component manufacture.
Hard Drives and storage devices: See Hard Drive recycling for the destruction of Confidential Data.
