Your Data. Handled Responsibly.
Data security is an important part of responsible electronics recycling. Connect Computer Recycling works with each business to understand its data-security requirements and determine the appropriate handling of data-bearing devices.
"Community-driven for community enhancement."
Secure Handling for
Data-Bearing Electronics
Data Wiping
DoD 3-Pass Wiping ProcessCCR continues to use a DoD 3-pass wiping process for eligible hard drives. We use StarTech.com devices/equipment to complete the wiping passes.
The same wiping approach is used for eligible SSDs, NVMe drives, and flash drives.
Physical Hard Drive Destruction
When physical destruction is required, CCR disassembles the hard drive, removes/separates the circuit board, drills the drive, and then sends the resulting material to an R2-certified downstream recycling partner.
If a drive cannot be successfully wiped, CCR moves to physical destruction.
Phones and Tablets
Customers are strongly encouraged to factory-reset phones and tablets and remove the devices from associated cloud accounts before turning them over to CCR.
This is the best practice when getting rid of phones, as modern phones use advanced encryption to permanently destroy the encryption key during a factory reset.

Business Customers
Certificates of Destruction
Certificates of Destruction are available for organizations that require documentation. Current fee: $8.00 per hard drive requiring a certificate.
Certificate documentation may include:
- Customer / company name
- Date
- Hard-drive serial number
- Method of destruction
- Signature / authorization information
Keep / Return Hard Drives
Businesses that prefer to retain their hard drives may request that reasonably accessible drives be removed at the customer’s location and handed back before CCR leaves the pickup site.
R2 / Downstream Recycling Partner
When physical destruction is required, resulting material is sent to an R2-certified downstream recycling partner.
Connect Computer Recycling is not R2 certified, but has R2 certified partners.
