Advanced Data Destruction: Secure and Certified

At Electronics Recycling of Minnesota, we understand the critical importance of secure data destruction. Our services include two rigorously effective methods: physical media shredding and hard drive sanitization.

Both methods adhere to stringent industry standards and regulations, providing you with peace of mind and certified assurance that your sensitive data is handled with utmost security and professionalism.

Physical Shredding:

This process involves finely shredding the hard drive into fragments smaller than one-eighth of an inch, ensuring complete physical destruction of the device. This method is foolproof in rendering data completely irrecoverable, guaranteeing the highest level of security.

Hard Drive Sanitization

For clients preferring to preserve the physical integrity of their devices, we offer hard drive sanitization. This method meticulously overwrites all existing data with a series of ones and zeros. This thorough digital cleansing ensures that all previously stored information is rendered unrecoverable and irretrievable, effectively 'resetting' the device while maintaining its physical form.

Great small business! It took me months to get here, and I am thrilled that we dropped off so many small electronics like batteries, an old iPad, old headphones, and random cords. It was so easy to pull up, walk in, dump the contents of my bag and leave. All done in a few minutes. Friendly staff too! So happy to have you in my neighborhood. Thanks.

Sara Woessner

I am so glad there is a recycling place near me where I can take electronics! The staff was so nice. It is easy to access and they took everything I had to drop off.

Jenna M.

I’m so thankful to find this place. Extremely helpful, friendly and quick service. Easy to find and worth the drive from the burbs. I will be recommending them to everyone I know for the ever so important task of properly recycling household and “more difficult” items.

Naomi Baer

I was disposing of old desktop parts that I didn't need and they took everything for practically free of charge. The staff were super friendly as well. I opted into their highest level of hard drive shredding for peace of mind and it was very cost-effective and very satisfying to watch. 11/10 will definitely be coming here again and would definitely recommend using their hard drive machine. Watching it is worth the cost alone.

Mitchell Severson

Great place with great service! Dropped off some electronics love that they’re open on weekends. It was so fast, literally one minute to drop off my items.The fee to take monitors is $10, compared to the $30 fee at Best Buy. Bring all of your electronics for recycling here.” items.
