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?

Recycling your company's IT equipment should be a simple task. You just contact a recycler to pick up the old computers and office equipment, and the company recycles the electronic waste 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.

Companies find themselves in trouble with public opinion and the law when their old computers are discovered in landfills or a 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).
