    there are several companies that charge to pick up what many of you call scrap. those companies offer security of data and compliance with all applicable recycling laws. they are licensed, insured and bonded. those same companies offer those services to the public. normally at a nominal charge.



    if you want to convince these companies to do business with you, then you are going to have to offer the same services.

    the equipment is not free. the paperwork is unbelievable. we log every hard drive serial number that comes in under contract. we have to show every move we make with that drive until it is destroyed. all of the companies we use have to be certified/licensed for auditing purpose.

    we guarantee complete destruction of all components and we agree to follow all applicable recycling laws. it is what those companies demand. so does some of the public.

    like most of these companies we receive items that are not required to be destroyed. we accept those items thru a subsidiary company and all we have to do is follow applicable recycling laws. instead of contractual obligations. which means i could sell select items on ebay. tho i can not imagine why any recycling company would.

    so, what are you offering. besides wanting to pick it all up for free. and then selling their hard drives back into the main stream.

    business requirements really should be another stuck topic at the top of the page.
