Have a Question?
With over 30 years of secure document destruction experience, we know that large-scale clear-outs often require flexibility, speed, and complete confidentiality.
Whether you’re emptying archive rooms, clearing storage units, or managing a full office move, our team will design a tailored, compliant, and fully certified bulk shredding solution that meets your exact needs.
The protection of your confidential information is — and always will be — our top priority.
Why should my company shred old computer Hard Drives?
Because deleting files isn’t enough. Even after formatting or wiping, sensitive data can often be recovered from old hard drives — creating a serious data protection and compliance risk.
Physical shredding is the only guaranteed way to ensure that confidential information is permanently destroyed and cannot be retrieved by anyone. It protects your business from data breaches, GDPR violations, reputational damage, and potential fines.
Certified hard drive shredding also supports your company’s information security, ISO 27001, and ESG objectives, providing verifiable proof that data-bearing assets have been securely and responsibly destroyed.
Can we witness the destruction?
Yes. All hard drive shredding can be carried out on-site at your premises, allowing your team to supervise the process from start to finish. Our mobile shredding units are equipped with CCTV monitoring for added transparency, and a Certificate of Destruction is issued immediately after the service.
What happens to the shredded material afterwards?
Once Shredded, All destroyed drives and media are 100% recycled into the metals recycling industry here in Ireland. Metal and plastic components are processed for recovery. This ensures your data is eliminated and your materials are handled responsibly in line with your WEEE and environmental compliance requirements.
Do you provide documentation for compliance and audits?
Yes. Every job by default is backed by a Certificate of Destruction, confirming the date, time, method, and quantity destroyed. We can also provide a detailed Asset Trace Report listing individual serial numbers— a key requirement for ISO 27001 and GDPR audits.
How many drives can you shred at once?
Our mobile shredding units are equipped with industrial-grade shredders capable of destroying hundreds of hard drives in one sitting. Our Data Centre customers often will have thousands of hard drives shredded per session. No job is too big or too small. Cyclone Shredding delivers a fast, scalable, and fully certified solution.
