CLASSIFIED EQUIPMENT DESTRUCTION Service Option
CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT DESTRUCTION
Equipment cannot simply be sold or recycles at the end of its useful life or when no longer needed. Responsible companies use certified equipment destruction to keep their proprietary equipment safe, even after disposal.
RECALLED PRODUCT DESTRUCTION
A product recall can happen to any company, regardless of its size or experience. Mitigate your company's losses by destroying recalled products with recalled product destruction services offered by a licensed company.
Overstock Product Destruction
Anyone who has worked as a buyer or business forecaster will tell you that predicting future stock needs is not easy. If overstock has become a problem, choose overstock product destruction to avoid flooding the market.
Returned Product Destruction
When products have been returned, you do not want to see them in another customer's hands. Returned product destruction ensures that products that have been returned will be destroyed: once and for all.
Classified equipment incorporates two major subsets of items: equipment that is sensitive due to the personal or proprietary data stored within it, and plant or other equipment that could be physically dangerous and could cause injury or contamination if disposed of incorrectly. Whatever the type of classified equipment, responsible companies choose classified equipment destruction to permanently and completely dispose of their equipment.
What to do With Classified Equipment That Holds Sensitive Data?
Personal and sensitive data – about your company, your clients, and even your proprietary work processes – can be stored on a myriad of equipment types. From portable media like SD cards, CDs, DVDs and USB flash drives, to solid state drives and hard disk drives, and even larger equipment like tablets, laptop and desktop computers, and cell phones, most electronic equipment and portable storage devices contain sensitive information of some description.
When classified equipment has reached the end of its useful life or is set to be replaced by more modern equipment, disposing of classified equipment becomes a pertinent issue. And with many companies asking themselves what to do with classified equipment, the answer remains simple: classified equipment destruction is the only failsafe way to dispose of equipment containing sensitive data.
Data Destruction Corporation offers a range of data destruction options, from certified equipment destruction to on-site hard drive shredding that will suit every company’s needs.
What to do With Classified Equipment That Is Dangerous or Could Cause Injury or Contamination?
It is not only equipment and portable media that contain sensitive data that needs to be disposed of correctly. Classified equipment also includes classified plant, and disposing of classified plant can bring up the same concerns for company owners as any other data destruction issue.
Assetivity reported on data compiled by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors that, in the United States between 1992 and 2001, 127 people died as a result of accidents involving pressure vessels. Classified plant and equipment deserved to be treated with respect, and this responsibility continues even when the time comes for the equipment to be disposed of.
The lifecycle of classified plant, like most other company assets, ranges from its acquisition to its operation and maintenance and finally to its disposal.

The Role of Classified Equipment Destruction
When it comes to the disposal of classified equipment, safety and compliance with regulations and other applicable laws must be a company owner’s first priority. If the equipment has been registered, the appropriate authority must be notified so that the deregistration can be recorded. Any hazardous material must then be removed from the equipment itself to ensure that the risk of contamination is minimized.
Finally, proper classified equipment destruction practices must be put into place, ensuring that your company’s destruction policies are adhered to, along with any applicable laws relevant to your area. This is where the services of a licenses, NAID-certified data destruction company come in.
When classified plant or equipment needs to be disposed of, always keep in mind that your company has ethical and legal obligations to dispose of the equipment properly and completely. Disposing of classified plant need not be a hassle: simply choose classified equipment destruction. To discuss how we can take care of your classified equipment destruction needs, contact us today.
