Computer Disposal and Data Destruction Now a Must

United States federal laws like FERPA, FACTA, HIPPA, GLB Act and Sarbanes-Oxley are some of the main reasons companies should be worried about how they dispose of old computer systems and client records.

In addition, the United States Environmental Protection Agency is stepping up enforcement, as millions and millions of computers become obsolete over the next few years, while changes in technology make it impractical to just donate these old machine.

Technology Directors, office managers and business owners seem to agree that now it is just faster, safer and cheaper to have someone else handle their data destruction and computer disposal needs.

"This is a good way for them to avoid messing with it." Said Phil Kuhlenbeck, President of Scrapitout.com, a data destruction and computer disposal service based in Austin, Texas.

In order to conform to all these federal regulations regarding the environment and the need for keeping private personal information from falling into the hands of identity thieves is making donating old computers to charity a thing of the past.

"Companies choose to work with us because this is all we do. We are the specialists. We are set up to properly handle data destruction and computer disposal so it makes sense to work with us. Computer makers, charities and other organization probably mean well in their computer recycling efforts, but this is our core business." Said Scrapitout's V.P. of Marketing, J.C. Howard.

Kuhlenbeck then went on to say, "Although computers contain toxic materials they also contain many materials that can be recycled into new items. Also, before getting rid of old computers it is important to erase, remove or destroy storage media where data is kept. This includes; hard drives, CDs and DVDs or any other type of storage devices."
