We recommend that the public erase all their data on their data storage device before dropping it off for recycling. From our end, E-Waste SG ensures that the E-Waste will be collected, sorted, and transported to qualified recyclers. These recyclers have been audited and have specific data sanitization mechanisms put in place when processing the E-Waste.
We offer different levels of data sanitization measures based on the different medium types like computers, laptops, mobiles, and tablets. Costs vary depending on the type of solutions. Write to us at enquiries@e-waste.com.sg for more details.

All data especially for HDDs are cleared/deleted through a degaussing equipment and later sent for crushing/shredding. During degaussing, the hard drive is rendered inoperable and cannot be reused. As for SSDs, they are sent for puncturing for data destruction. We recommend for the public to erase all their data on their data storage device before dropping them off for recycling.
