Because we resell equipment rather than shred it, sanitization isn't an optional add-on here — it's a condition of the purchase. No storage device is tested, listed, or sold until it has been sanitized or destroyed, and you get documentation either way. That applies to anything holding data, not just computers.
These aren't upsells. They're part of how the transaction works, because we can't responsibly resell your equipment without them.
Every storage device is sanitized to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 standards, or physically destroyed if you prefer. You choose the method per lot. Destroyed drives are removed from the resale stream entirely.
Every device logged by make, model and serial before it leaves your building. You keep a signed copy — it's your record of exactly what changed hands, and it doubles as your asset retirement documentation.
Documents what was collected, which method was applied to each drive, and when. Suitable for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GLBA and internal IT compliance files.
Documented transfer from your site onward. If a device is resold, the sanitization record stays attached to that serial number, so there's a defensible trail if anyone ever asks.
Pounds diverted and a reuse-versus-recycling breakdown for everything we collect from you. Reuse counts for considerably more than recycling in most ESG frameworks, which works in your favor here.
For high-sensitivity environments, you or your compliance officer can observe destruction in person, or we can destroy drives on site before anything is loaded.
We used to charge per device for data destruction. Under the purchasing model that no longer makes sense — the cost of sanitization is built into what we can pay for the equipment, and it's reflected in the offer you see. There is no separate invoice.
Transparent by design: when you choose physical destruction over sanitization, you're choosing a lower offer, and you should be able to see exactly how much lower before you decide. We'll always quote both so the trade-off is yours to make rather than ours to hide.
Serial-level capture before anything is loaded, with a signed manifest handed to you on the spot.
No third-party brokers or intermediate warehouses. What we collect goes straight to our facility.
Drives are processed before testing, grading or listing. Nothing gets powered up for evaluation with your data still on it.
Working equipment is remarketed. Everything else goes to responsible downstream processing. Documentation available for both.
Tell us the standard you're working to and we'll tell you plainly whether we can meet it. If your policy requires something we can't do, we'd rather say so up front than find out at the loading dock.
