What is Hard Drive Destruction?
Hard Drive destruction is a professional method of safeguarding business and personal information. It is the only way to guarantee company, employee, and customer data is not released to unauthorized individuals.
It’s not enough to simply erase information from a drive and expect that the data cannot be accessed. Once files have been erased on a drive, they can still be accessed by an individual skilled in information retrieval. Even if the drive is formatted, some of the information may still be accessible. The only way to ensure that information cannot be accessed once the hard drive leaves your premises is to engage the use of a hard drive disposal service.

Why Consider Hard Drive Destruction?
Industry and Regulatory Compliance with Hard Drive Destruction
There is set legislation in place regarding how records are kept, their privacy and confidentiality, as well as their appropriate disposal. These regulations can be government specific, or specific to a certain industry.
Turning to PROSHRED® for your hard drive destruction needs, will assist your business in remaining compliant with the regulations that apply to you. In doing so, your San Francisco Bay Area organization will remain in good standing with a reputable and trustworthy reputation by the public. You’ll also reduce your risk of experiencing hefty fines which stem from non-compliance.
Recycling Regulations and Hard Drive Shredding
Computers contain valuable parts and materials that can be collected for recycling. They also have toxic and hazardous parts that should not enter our waste stream and need to be disposed of safely. There are government regulations that outline the proper disposal of these electronics as well. Partnering with a professional hard drive shredding company like PROSHRED®, gives companies the peace of mind that through proper hard drive recycling and disposal methods, information is entirely secure, and disposed of in a sustainable manner.
Methods of Hard Drive Destruction
It’s critical to note that while there are optional methods of Hard Drive disposal available to you, not all are 100% reliable. Secure, hard drive shredding is the only form of data destruction that guarantees your security and safety.
Overwriting
Overwriting the content on your hard drives can be executed with specific software; however, it’s not only tedious and time consuming, most importantly it is not 100% effective.
Data Removal
It’s not enough to simply erase information from a drive and expect that the data cannot be accessed. Once files have been erased on a drive, they can still be accessed by an individual skilled in information retrieval. Even if the drive is formatted, some of the information may still be accessible. The only way to ensure that information cannot be accessed once the hard drive leaves your premises is to engage the use of a hard drive disposal service.
Degaussing
Simply put, degaussing is a procedure carried out to eliminate the hard drive’s magnetic field. Unfortunately this form of data removal leaves room for error, and can’t be trusted as a permanent means of hard drive destruction.
Shredding
Hard drive shredding is the only form of permanent data destruction. For complete peace of mind that your confidential information is obsolete, choose professional hard drive shredding provided by PROSHRED®. Our mobile shred trucks have been designed to shred both your documents and critical hard drives; all at the convenience of your location.

When I contacted Proshred, I just wanted better security protocols for my company but what I got was someone who cared about our company. I got the president of the company to contact me directly. He was the one who sent me the estimate, scheduled the time and showed up at my door. He was so cheerful and passionate about his business. And; that is so rare to find. He gave me a brief overview of the protection that my company should have, delivery details and a quick contract. If I have any issues? I have the direct contact information for the President of the company. That is beautiful!!! It is a small business, but it is definitely worth looking into. I love, love, love the fact that I got a response so quickly and my company feels valued. Thank you!!!! From your friends at Stella & Dot, San Bruno, CA. read less
