Destruction of smartphones

We pick them up or we destroy your phones on site

We come to you with our Mobile hard drive shredder. Under your watchful eye, your end-of-life cell phones are shredded into 9-millimeter pieces. We do this lightning-fast and extremely safely. Before we put them in the shredder, we first remove the battery—both to comply with environmental regulations and to prevent fire hazards. The shredded phones are collected in a container and later responsibly recycled by IT Recycling. The batteries are processed through the battery recycling program.
Alternatively, we can come by and load your discarded phones into a specially sealed container. The old phones are later destroyed at our secure facility in Veghel.

Within 5 days of our visit you will receive from us the full documentation which you can use to prove that the phones have been destroyed. This means a record of the phones (if possible) and a data destruction certificate. This set of documents is accepted by auditors for all ISO standards. As soon as you place your order online, you’ll receive confirmation of when we’ll come by. Would you like to know how much this costs? Click here for prices.

How do we handle confidential data?

Destroying a phone is crucial to prevent sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands. Business phones often contain confidential data, such as financial information, customer data and confidential documents. If this information falls into the wrong hands, there can be serious consequences. That is why it is important to apply certified destruction to old phones. At IT Recycling, we offer professional phone destruction / smartphone erasure, so your data stays safe and you don’t have to worry about data breaches.

Second life for your smartphone: risks

Giving a second life to your smartphone by reselling or donating it is environmentally friendly and it still makes some money. However, there are risks involved. Even after a factory reset of your device, traces of personal data such as contact information, photos and passwords may remain. This information can be misused, which in turn leads to identity theft or other forms of fraud. To minimize these risks, it is wise to have your smartphone professionally destroyed by a certified service provider such as IT Recycling. Let us destroy your phone!

Can I also destroy data myself?

While it is possible to destroy data yourself, it is strongly recommended that you have a certified party do it. Destroying confidential data yourself carries risks, such as not completely erasing all the information. And as mentioned, a factory reset is really insufficient. Not properly wiping a phone can lead to a data breach.

IT Recycling has the right knowledge, equipment and techniques to securely and thoroughly destroy data and phones. We use certified software from AIKEN and this ensures that all sensitive information is completely irretrievably deleted, ensuring you maximum security and compliance with privacy laws.
