These guys are great!
We recently went through a site closure and were left with a large amount of refrigerators and -80 freezers that we needed disposed of. We also had a large amount of metal filing cabinets and a good amount of other items.
Richard and his team came out to our site and handled everything, while being super friendly and courteous.
Could not be happier, highly recommended!

Combined with the physical destruction, this gives complete security in the field of data security., two standard 3.5" hard drives or even six 2.5" laptop drives /SSDs can be destroyed simultaneously in 28 seconds. The physical destruction of hard disks gives the certainty that they can no longer be accessed.
