People throw around the word "certification" without understanding what they are talking about. There is no rule that says you need a special certification to destroy hard drives. You do need to follow HIPAA guidelines to destroy them though.

Yes, I have repeatedly read about the "certified"HIPPA facility requirement here on the forum. After hours of reading of HIPPA regulations I am convinced that the requiements of the customer's liability insurance company is the end all answer.Originally Posted by AuburnEwaste
This is my personal opinion on this subject and I would ask if someone REALLY knows what a HIPPA certified recycler is please share this information.
By the way I currently do not have any medical related customers. Mike

It seems logical that a person could take the board out of the hard drive and send the rest off to the crusher. Hard drive boards are what, $10 per pound. Would it be worth the trouble to get just the boards out? I will have to ask if my friend would be comfortable letting me take the boards out. Thanks for the replies.
The answer to this question is the same every time its asked, "It's up to you".
For me it is worth it but my life is very differient than your's. Mike
