At Ucan Recycling, we take your data very seriously and can recommend the best solution for your business. All hard drives are either:
Because all companies have different security policies, we offer either an on-site or a back at base shredding service. For those companies where their policy is to keep all hard drives on-site until destroyed, we can bring our hard drive shredder to you and carry out the destruction supervised by your staff. Offsite hard drive shredding is where any hard drives brought back to Ucan Recycling will be securely stored, then shredded, a certificate of destruction is provided when requested for your files. We will also issue a Waste Transfer Note which is signed by both the transferor and the transferee. Call 0113 242 4421 for a hard drive shredding quotation today.
As we are in the business of IT recycling, the plastic and the metals that are inside the hard drives themselves is recyclable so we have waste streams for these so, therefore, eliminating excess WEEE for landfill.
We offer a professional and secure confidential-paper shredding service which can be used in conjunction with our IT disposal service or a stand-alone service.
Whether it is a regular collection or a one-off clear out, we can offer a fast and cost-effective shredding service. All waste paper is kept locked for transportation and unloaded under secure conditions back at base before shredding using state of the art machines. Whatever your needs, please call 0113 242 4421 for a quote.
Or otherwise known as data wiping. Using the best software packages available: White Canyon and Parted Magic we can securely delete all files from data bearing devices. This is a quick and effective method of removing data from drives and the beauty of wiping means that the drives can also be reused. We always carry out data wiping as standard when a client doesn't stipulate another method and we offer this service free of charge. For any devices that fail during wiping, they will be degaussed to ensure total data security.
With a powerful magnetic field that can completely erase data in less than a second, our degausser guarantees a secure data destruction process, carried out to military standards. Recommended by the Department of Defence and GCHQ (British Government) this fully automatic machine not only removes the hassle of manually deleting the information, but it also provides total confidence that the data can never be recovered using approved Verity Systems Datagone Machine (as shown in the video below). For a quote for degaussing your hard drives, please call 0113 242 4421

“We didn’t trust anyone to proficiently dispose of our archive of accrued PCs – until we met Ucan. I watched all of our hard drives being wiped and the data completely destroyed via an impressive on-site shredding process. The shredded drives can then be sent for recycling, so we’re still being environmentally conscious, but we have complete peace of mind regarding compliance too. It was interesting and reassuring to watch the process unfold in front of my eyes. I was very impressed with the team.”
