Secure computer disposal and recycling

If all computer recycling firms claim to sanitize hard drives, why does sensitive data keep showing up in landfills, auction websites and even overseas?

Electronics recycling should be a simple task. A recycler picks up the old computers and obsolete office equipment in your company, recycles whatever can be recycled and disposes of the rest in an environmentally-friendly manner. Worries for you should be few, if any.

Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Stiff competition and dwindling margins have caused many computer recycling companies to look for ways to squeeze extra profits from each sale, including shipping unprocessed PC hard drives and electronics overseas, selling computers to unmonitored subcontractors, or just dumping e-waste into local landfills.

But why should you care what happens after your equipment leaves your offices? Because companies have found themselves in trouble with the public and the law when their old computers are discovered in a landfill or developing country. Not only is this a public relations nightmare, but steep fines can be levied for violating environmental and privacy laws. For example, one company found itself in this position when a copy machine was discovered with sensitive client records on the hard drive (yes, most copy machines now have hard drives).
