Failure to securely dispose of digital records or old IT equipment can expose your company to data exposure and put it in violation of data protection laws. Whatever your industry, the growing threat of identity theft makes it more important than ever to destroy electronic equipment when disposing of it.

We advise our customers not to sell their hard drives for reuse or refurbishment based on our years of experience. The hard drives can easily fall into the hands of the wrong people, leaving your company’s sensitive information vulnerable to theft. Physical destruction is the most secure method and the only way to ensure the safety of your data.
At the same time, we’re conscious of our environmental impact and pledge to recycle all shredded or destroyed hard drives whenever possible. Our goal is to recycle 100 percent of all non-contaminated waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Show FAQs
What is hard drive destruction?
Hard drive destruction is the physical destruction of a hard disk or SSD so that stored data cannot be recovered by any method. It is commonly used for PDPA compliant disposal of highly sensitive or failed drives.
Why physically destroy a hard drive instead of wiping it?
Physical destruction is the most secure option for drives that are failed, highly sensitive, or where you do not intend to resell or reuse the device. For working drives you plan to resell or redeploy, data erasure may be a better fit as it lets you recover value. We can advise on which suits your situation.
Does this work for SSDs as well as traditional hard drives?
Yes. We destroy both HDDs and SSDs. The physical destruction method is different from degaussing, which only works on magnetic HDDs.
Do you offer one-time destruction as well as scheduled service?
Yes, both. One-time for a single clear-out, or a recurring schedule for ongoing IT refresh cycles.
What proof do we get for our compliance records?
A Certificate of Destruction stating quantity and date, issued after every job.
How much does hard drive destruction cost in Singapore?
Pricing depends on quantity and drive type. Send us your volume for an accurate quote.
