Physical Data Destruction

Physical data destruction provides absolute assurance that sensitive information is permanently eliminated at the hardware level, serving as an ideal option when regulatory certainty is required

How We Physically Destroy Data-Bearing Devices

Hard Drive Crushing

Our SEM Model 0101 hard drive crushers apply 20,000 lbs. of force to permanently punch out spinning platters and internal components.

Drives are rendered completely unreadable—compliant with HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and GLBA requirements. This provides immediate, visible destruction for organizations requiring the highest levels of regulatory assurance.

Hard Drive Shredding

For high-volume or bulk destruction, we operate an Allegheny shredding system that reduces entire drives into small, unrecognizable fragments.

Shredding provides maximum security by physically eliminating all data-bearing components beyond recovery. Materials are then responsibly recycled for environmental stewardship.

Physical Destruction

Physical data destruction provides absolute assurance that sensitive information is permanently eliminated at the hardware level, serving as an ideal option when regulatory certainty is required

Logical Destruction

Choosing logical data sanitization that exceeds NIST 800-88 purge standards allows organizations to securely eliminate data while extending the usable life of hard drives through responsible reuse, making it a more environmentally sustainable alternative to physical destruction.

Certificates of Destruction

Evolution E-Cycling’s certificates of destruction provide customers with detailed records of their destroyed devices, capturing required device identifiers such as serial numbers, asset tags, manufacturer, and model numbers.
