The world of medical science is constantly advancing at a breakneck pace, and medical electronics that may have been top of the line a few years ago are now outdated. All of this medical waste starts to pile up and it’s hard to find proper ways to dispose or recycle them. Luckily, Arrow Scrap is here to help. 

While your first inclination might be to hire a professional or a company to destroy data, you first have to have your in-house process buttoned up.

You need to know your end goals, what your company stores locally vs what is stored on your hard drives. Provided you have a staff, you also need to know what’s on their phones, laptops, desktops or tablets. What about customer or patient data? Also, if you regularly print, those files existed somewhere before.

January 28th marks Data Privacy Day, an annual event held in order to promote both data privacy and best practices for protecting your critical data.
So this is an excellent time to get ahead of the risks that compromised data can present to a business.

Virtually every company has the need to eliminate and recycle electronic waste. And while shredding unnecessary old or archived files is usually the answer, it isn’t always the right answer. It can shred your budget too. While on the surface shredding may seem like the simpler, cheaper alternative to wiping data, that’s simply not always the case. The machines can be cost-prohibitive and ultimately, more costly than wiping software.
