Our Data Destruction Services

How Our Data Destruction Services Work

At GreenCitizen, we provide comprehensive hard drive and hard disk data destruction services at our Burlingame Eco Center or through scheduled business pickups. 

Our secure data destruction process includes:

  • Tracking for Accountability: We record the make, model, and serial number of each hard drive and HDD in our secure database for full accountability.
  • Physical Destruction: We physically destroy each hard drive using our state-of-the-art hard disk destroyer, ensuring all data is permanently erased.
  • Certification: Once your hard drives have been destroyed, we'll send you a Certificate of Destruction listing each individual drive by serial and model number. You'll have a record, and so will we—because when it comes to destroying data, we believe that accountability is key.

On-Site Hard Drive Data Destruction

For businesses requiring extra security, we offer on-site hard drive and HDD destruction services. Here's how it works:

  • On-Site Service: We bring our portable hard disk destroyer directly to your facility or office.
  • Inventory Documentation: We log each hard drive's model and serial number for tracking purposes.
  • Witnessed Destruction: Your staff can observe the physical destruction of the hard drives, ensuring full transparency and security.
  • Certification: Upon request, we provide a Certificate of Destruction for your records.
