Secure and environmental responsible technology disposal

HMC can assist with the disposal of old computing and technology devices. This includes an assessment of the technology to determine if it needs a ‘data wipe’ prior to disposal. HMC uses the latest low-level technologies and processes to ensure that data is removed and completely unrecoverable before sending the technology off to be properly processed as e-waste.
