Data destruction refers to the destruction of both physical media, such as USB drives, paper documents, or CDs, as well as the destruction of data stored on media, hard drives, or other types of electronic memory.

In today's world, technology is advancing incredibly fast. Digitization is now a part of all areas of life – it's possible to work, learn remotely, handle official matters online, or receive an e-prescription from a doctor after just a phone conversation. As a result, computers and laptops have become essential in everyday life. While the number of computers in use is continually increasing, so too is the growth of electronic waste, i.e., equipment that is worn out and no longer fit for use. A used computer cannot simply be thrown into one of the communal waste bins near residential blocks. Electronic parts may contain hazardous chemical compounds – for this reason, many components need to be disposed of and recycled. A computer for disposal should be taken to an appropriate place.

Each of us follows waste segregation rules in our household every day. However, some people have no idea about data carrier destruction, where sensitive information is stored, and for example, where to dispose of a CD. You will find answers to these and other questions in our guide.

Private individuals and companies accumulate a lot of unnecessary electronic equipment over the years, including computer equipment. Old hard drives that are lying around in basements, garages, or offices - if they contain personal or other sensitive data - it is safest to destroy them by engaging a professional company. On the other hand, other media that do not contain any confidential content can be given to a scrap collection point and earn money from it. We offer both hard drive destruction and electronic waste collection.

One of the branches of our activity is the collection of computer and  electronic scrap. What parts and components does our Krakow collection point  accept and how does it operate? Why is it so important for electronic waste to  reach the right and designated point for this purpose?
