Secure, Green Computer Disposal for Business, Government and
Not-for-Profit Organizations.
Protect Yourself and the Environment
We all know recycling computers is critical to protecting the
environment, and keeping tons of waste and toxic chemicals out of
our landfills. The province of BC is so concerned about this threat
that is has created an Electronic
Stewardship Association, a
free recycling program and has even
implemented new laws that make it illegal to dispose of
computer equipment in the garbage. This program is a huge step
forward in protecting our environment, but it fails to reuse older
equipment, and protect the organizations who send their equipment
for recycling.
We have put together a program specifically for businesses and
not-for-profits that:
- Enables you to safely dispose of your
equipment
- Protects your organization from having data
stolen from disposed hard drives
- Reduces waste by helping donate useful
computers to people in need
- Ensures that unusable equipment is disposed of
safely through the governments program, in compliance with
the Electronic Stewardship Association
How it works
Once your computer equipment arrives at NewGen it is stripped of
all media which may contain data including hard drives, disks, and
even printer components. This media is then placed into securely
locked bins which are sent out for secure shredding and
incineration. Your data is protected during transfer in the secure
bins. The bulk of the equipment we receive is then sorted by one of
a couple of local not-for-profit organizations, such as the Electronics Recycling
Association, who then refurbish the equipment, and donate
it to schools, charities and people in need. All remaining
equipment is disposed using environmentally friendly processes
overseen by the Electronic
Stewardship Association of British Columbia through BC's Return-it
Electronics Recycling program.

Optional Redundant Data Destruction

Destruction which performs a multipass format (to NSA standards) on
a hard drive before the drive is shredded and incinerated. The cost
for this is an addition $50 per hard drive in addition to the per
