Peace of Mind for Computer Equipment Resale and Recycling
Identity theft, standards compliance, environmental liability — while every company strives to be environmentally sensitive, these concerns weigh heavily on today’s businesses. From personal financial information to highly confidential health records, the information on business servers, desktops and laptops includes sensitive and proprietary data that must not fall into the wrong hands.
Protect Data and Properly Dispose of Old Hardware
Dell™ Services can help you resell, recycle or return to lease your excess computer equipment in a secure and environmentally conscious manner that complies with local regulatory guidelines. We help you protect sensitive data by removing tags and labels from equipment, overwriting readable hard drives and shredding inoperable disks.
