The image illustrates the downstream processor end product of the shredded hard drives. This is in compliance with National lnstitute of Standards and Technology NIST SP 800-88 under physical destruction methods: http://nvlpubs. nist. gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublica

eForce Recycling, Inc., is uniquely positioned in the e-waste and universal waste industry. eForce is e-
Steward and ISO-14001 certified. Our certifications mandate all aspects of the recycling chain
and any stakeholder involved in the process of collecting, transporting, handling and processing
of material, with a strong emphasis on environmental safety and data security where all data
media is either destroyed or wiped. Hard drives, mobile Devices and tablets are physically destroyed so that all data and software are unrecoverable.
eForce Compliance uses Allegheny Shredders Hard Drive/ e-Scrap Shredder,
Model 5HD3 for physical destruction of data storage devices:
Storage devices that must have data destruction include but are not limited to: paper, microfilm/fiche, cellular phones, PDAs, routers, switches, VPNs, firewalls, copy machines, fax machines, phone system voicemail, printers, floppy disks, hard drives, zip drives, jazz drives, tape reels, cassettes, magnetic tapes, CDs, DVDs, compact media cards, SD cards, smart cards, and flash memory devices.
Data destruction processes are reviewed and validated by an independent party on a periodic basis. Reviews include competency evaluations of employees, attempts at data recovery from sanitized devices, verification of calibration schedules (where applicable) and verification of data sanitization records. Validation of the process is recorded on the Data Destruction Validation Form (EFC-F14). Records of the validations are maintained.
Physically destroyed HDs are validated immediately following processing (shredding/shearing/punching, etc.)
Note: During hard drive destruction, the circuit boards are removed before shredding. Please see Work Instructions, EFC-WI-01 under V. D-Manufacturing for specific details.
In addition to our destruction process, our downstream processor will provide additional
shredding to incineration for precious metal recovery.
If a hard drive, mobile device, or tablet is slated for reuse, our erasing and wiping methods exceed the United States Department of Defense (DOD) standards.
Hard drive, mobile device and tablet reuse are a very small percentage of our processing.
eForce takes data destruction seriously and our certifications via e-Steward are
the gold standard in recycling. A Certificate of Recycling (COR) is issued for all materials
recycled through eForce.
The software currently being utilized by eForce is Active Kill Disk Version DOD
5220.22M with the latest modified date. The Active Kill Disk conforms to US DOD 5220.22M.
