Hard Drive Destruction
There are many different ways to destroy a hard drive. It depends if you wish to reuse the disks again?
Pure Planet Recycling offers a choice of hard drive destruction methods. We either crush or shred hard disks.
Our most popular method of destruction is shredding. We find that customers like the visual evidence of the shredded drive. This said, we can accommodate your required destruction method.
We process all types of external and internal hard drives in both 3.5″ and 2.5″ sizes. Whatever the technology whether IDE, SATA, SCSI, SSD or SAS we have a solution for destruction.
Our collections are secure, with our staff and satellite tracked vehicles. Once the disks enter our Authorised Treatment Facility, we scan the serial numbers. After we destroy the hard drives we issue a certificate of destruction. This contains the individual serial numbers for each disk.
The destroyed hard drives are then recycled to recover the materials contained within.

Media & Server Tape Destruction
Media tape destruction must be performed on any redundant or faulty backup media tapes and server tapes. Whilst tapes provide a good disaster recovery solution by storing company data, disposing of them incorrectly is a disaster waiting to happen.
As with hard drives, media tapes are usually magnetic storage devices, so our technicians shred them to ensure that the media tape destruction and server tape destruction is thorough and that data is completely irretrievable.
Once the media tape destruction has taken place, a destruction certificate is produced.

CD/DVD Destruction
Pure Planet Recycling’s method for both DVD destruction and CD destruction is to shred the CD or DVD. Our shredder enables the CD or DVD to be reduced down to 1mm chips, thus ensuring complete destruction of the information held on the device.
Upon completion of the CD shredding or DVD shredding, we issue a destruction certificate. The DVD or CD, case and paper are recycled. This process enables us to have a 100% recycling rate on our CD shredding and DVD shredding service.
