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.
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

Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
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.
