When it comes to recycling your files, CDs, documents and computers it’s important that you have a secure recycling process in place. The last thing you want, as a company, is for your secure data to end up in the wrong hands. These wrong hands could be identity thieves which will put you and your customers at risk, or they could be your competitors who will be more than willing to take your clients off your hands!
You need to make sure you have a secure recycling process in place to ensure you keep your company and your customer’s private information safe. Many companies turn to an IT Recycling Company to complete this process for them, but what you should look for to ensure you’re working with a reputable IT recycling company?
You need to make sure that the IT recycling company you choose has a waste carrier license, this is a legal requirement for all IT recycling companies so this will be a sure fire way to split the professionals from the cowboys.
Although an Environmental Permit is not required by law, choosing an IT recycling company that have one will give you the peace of mind that you are working with a company that cares about the environment and therefore is a caring company to work with.
With sensitive, private and confidential data you want to make sure that the documents and CDs pass as few hands as possible, make sure the IT recycling company you choose use their own vehicles and drivers. Ideally you do not want an IT recycling company that sub out their driving work as this means your data will be in the hands of extra people. What you do want is companies that use their own staff in satellite tracked vehicles with timed collections.
