At OceanTech, an electronics recycling and data destruction services firm based in Minneapolis, helping companies recover value from their electronic hardware and storage media is all in a day’s work.
“When a company calls us, they often have a large mix of equipment and digital data storage that they want to get rid of. It’s not unusual to pick up several pallets of equipment and storage media from one location,” says Alex Sumetsky of OceanTech.
One of the benefits of working with a professional electronics recycler is the return on investment that is available. Digital data tapes that still have value are purchased, whether they are older LTO tapes or newer forms of digital storage media.
OceanTech can either shred hard drives or erase data through a secure data sanitization that renders the tapes unreadable.
The entire process is handled in a secure, closed-loop system that is documented with certificates of destruction or sanitization. Many clients require videotaped evidence of the destruction process for documentation purposes, and OceanTech is happy to oblige.
“Our business is about providing value to a company by ensuring the security of any destruction or recycling procedures. Best of all, companies consistently tell us that we pay more for their unused and outdated equipment than any other electronics recycling company out there,” Satter says.
