Server recycling and data destruction
Especially depreciated servers, of course, can always still contain confidential information on the hard disks. IT Recycling is the specialist in the certified destruction of hard disks, also at your location. We will come by with our mobile hard disk shredder, remove the disks from your servers and destroy the hard disks under your supervision. We can also take the servers with us and destroy the hard disks in our secure facility in Veghel. With data destruction you always receive complete registration with certificate.
Recently, we have seen a steady growth in the number of servers we collect for recycling. Servers are currently becoming obsolete very quickly, due in part to virtualization and Cloud technology.
Recycling of servers is quite possible. We recycle servers more than 80%, this is reflected in our WEEELABEX statistics. Servers consist mostly of metal and contain few plastics. They also contain high-quality circuit boards. Unfortunately, servers also contain hazardous substances that are difficult to recover. Therefore, server recycling should be done with the utmost accuracy. Certainly not in third-world countries because that is precisely where this process poses a threat to the environment.
Therefore, be careful when you have servers disposed of for recycling. Only have this done by a party that holds the mandatory WEEELABEX certification. Only then will you have 100% certainty that recycling takes place within the Netherlands and according to legal standards.
