Hard drives destruction
As a company or organization, do you have privacy-sensitive data or company data on hard drives or SSDs? Then as a "processor" of this data, you are responsible for the safe destruction of this data. Recycling Best helps you meet data destruction according to the privacy legislation AVG.
Hard drives or SSDs destruction via our Collection Service is easily initiated by filling out our contact form. We will then send you a no-obligation proposal for the destruction of all company-sensitive data on hard drives within one business day. Other data carriers such as backup tapes, floppy disks, USB sticks or DVDs, can also be destroyed.

How can you destroy hard drives?
There are several ways to destroy data on your batch of loose hard drives or SSDs originating from computers, servers or laptops:
Destroying the data with so-called overwriting software (wiping) is the most secure and applied way of removing data on hard drives without losing the hardware for reuse. Data carriers are overwritten several times with ones and zeros according to the NIST SP 800-88 protocol with this special software. This ensures final data removal. You receive a serial number registration including destruction certificate.
Another approach is to physically destroy the hard drive. In most cases this is done by grinding into small pieces by a shredder according to the DIN-66399 Standard. After this destruction, recovery of data is no longer possible, nor is the hard drive available for reuse.

Frequently Asked Questions
As an individual, can I also have pickup?
No, unfortunately, collection is only available for businesses. As a private individual, you can bring a batch of old ICT equipment to Best.
Where will you pick up?
Basically, we come to all companies throughout the Netherlands. Often this is in the Randstad. Additional call-out charges may apply for companies in the northern provinces.
How long does it take for you guys to come over?
After you approve our proposal, we usually pick up within 7 business days. Well in advance we will send you a proposal for a pick-up date and time frame by e-mail. After your written confirmation the appointment is fixed.
What equipment are you picking up?
Old computers, laptops, phones, tablets, printers, monitors, servers, switches, backup emergency power, adapters, plug cords and other peripherals such as mice and keyboards.
We do not accept large white goods such as washers, dryers, dishwashers. We also do not accept refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and water coolers.
What is the minimum amount?
There is no minimum amount of equipment to pick up. The same call-out fee does apply for 1 computer or 10 computers.
What does data destruction cost on collection?
We send a proposal for the destruction of data on computers, laptops or individual hard drives, for example, only in writing. This is because the costs are highly dependent on the type and quantity of equipment. A non-binding proposal will be sent within 1 business day of receiving the completed contact form.
What does free pickup mean from 200 kg?
Alleen computers, laptops en servers tellen mee voor het 200 kg gratis ophalen criterium. Printers en monitoren worden ook opgehaald, maar tellen niet mee in het gewicht.
How do I know if I have 200 kg?
If you fill out the form and include an overview photo showing the hardware recognizable, we will know by experience if you have 200 kg or more. We will then confirm this in writing.
How should we prepare or prepare it?
If you prepare everything on a pallet, that's convenient for us, but it doesn't have to be. If all the hardware is loose and accessible with a roll cage, that's fine too. Our driver packs and loads everything.
Do I have to be present at pickup myself?
You as the contact person do not have to be present yourself. This may also be a colleague who receives us and points out the equipment. We do need a signature when we finish loading.
