Hard Drive Shredding FAQs

How much does a hard drive shredding service cost?

The cost of a hard drive shredding service can depend on numerous factors including the number of hard drives, the size of the drive(s), and the company you hire. 

Typically, the cost of a hard drive shredding service can range from anywhere between £5 and £15 per drive.

How long does a hard drive disposal service take?

The time taken for hard drive shredding will be affected by an array of factors, including the number and size of hard drives being shredded. Typically, the time taken to shred a single, standard-sized hard drive should take no more than ten minutes.

What will I need to do for my hard drive shredding service?

Before organising a hard drive shredding service, it’s important to ensure that any data on the hard drive that you may need to access in the future is stored or backed up elsewhere.

The purpose of the hard drive shredding is to ensure that the data on the hard drive is no longer accessible, so checking for any data you need to maintain is essential.

Lastly, be sure to locate all the hard drives you want to be wiped before we arrive. This will allow our team to operate quickly and efficiently, causing minimal impact on your day-to-day operations.

How to dispose of hard drives in London?

Using a designated hard drive shredder is the best way to ensure your safety when destroying a hard drive. These devices are specifically designed to cut up hard drives in a way that destroys all disks to make information impossible to retrieve.

Hard drive shredders are an expensive purchase, with many costing between £10,000 and £20,000 to buy outright. This is a costly and unnecessary purchase for most businesses that only need to shed hard drives on occasion.

Hiring a designated hard drive shredding company allows you to obtain this service at a fraction of the price. With Office Clearance London, you can use our services as and when required, eliminating the need for an expensive purchase and ensuring your hard drive shredding is being handled with expertise. 

How to safely get rid of old hard drives?

Most old hard drives should be recycled as per WEEE regulations. WEEE laws require that any electrical item carrying the ‘crossed bin’ logo be recycled at a designated WEEE recycling plant, or by professionals trained in WEEE recycling techniques.

While it’s possible to take your hard drive to a recycling centre yourself, locating the right one can be an unnecessary distraction that gets in the way of day-to-day business operations.

That’s why Office Clearance London provides a comprehensive WEEE recycling service alongside its hard drive shredding offering. Our trained team can take away the stress of hard drive removal by disposing of it for you at a designated centre.
