How are USB drives and memory cards securely destroyed?
We use industrial shredders designed to physically fracture and break the internal flash memory chips. This ensures the data storage components are permanently ruined, making data recovery technically impossible.
Does simply deleting files from a USB drive destroy the data permanently?
No. Simple deletion only removes the directory pointer. The data remains on the chip and can be recovered using specialised software. Only physical shredding guarantees irreversible data destruction.
Can you shred bulk quantities of small items like MicroSD cards?
Yes. Our system is designed for high throughput and can efficiently process bulk quantities of small flash media, ensuring every tiny memory card is fully destroyed during the on-site service.
Is the cost of shredding per item or per time/visit?
Our pricing model is usually based on the total volume and type of media destroyed, combined with a site visit fee. We provide a tailored, transparent quote before any on-site destruction begins.
How can I prepare my USB drives and cards before your arrival?
Simply collect all the devices you need destroyed. There is no need for pre-sorting or data wiping; our secure shredding process handles all security requirements.
