Engineering Data Security in the Heart of Birmingham

At the heart of our Birmingham operation lies our industry-leading and claim-tested tools, destroying your data beyond any recovery. We utilise Certus software for multi-pass, media-specific, verifiable data erasure. To neutralise data stored on magnetic media in under two seconds, we deploy our Intimus 9000s degausser. For physical destruction, our Intimus Destroyer 360 applies 12,000 lbs of crushing force, and the Intimus FlashEx digital-media shredder reduces solid-state drives, USB sticks, and circuit boards to 4 × 15 mm particles – well below NIST’s maximum size requirement. All data destruction is performed by our specialist technicians, all rigorously trained and certified in NIST 800-88 protocols to ensure flawless, consistent execution. The result: you know every erasure, degauss, crush or shred follows the same high-precision measures.

National IT Disposal provides consistency and peace of mind through detailed audit logs, complete process transparency and verified tamper-proof certificates, proving your data has been permanently destroyed to the highest standard.

We make sure all of your old equipment gets collected as soon as possible, thereby safeguarding your data.

Your Collection

Your collection operative(s) will professionally remove all agreed items from your site and load them into the vehicle in an independent manner, ensuring no disruption to your activities.

When loaded, you will be given a waste transfer notice to ensure compliance.

Your asset report lists each item collected and includes: Brand, model, serial number, specification and a unique National IT Disposal asset number. erased using government approved software or shredded down to 6mm particles, ensuring all stored data is permanently and irreversibly eliminated. An itemised certificate of data destruction for all data bearing media is then generated for your records.

This allows you to see exactly how much revenue you will be generating so you can financially plan. After we have processed your e-waste, your itemised report will contain rebate values against all qualifying items. You can quickly see how much revenue has been generated. Your positive return payment will then be paid by secure same day transfer so you have immediate access to your funds.
