Certified electronics recycling means your data is safe every time. Cobalt performs data destruction to NIST 8001:88 standards and independently verifies the sanitization process. That means you do not need to do anything to prepare your data-bearing devices for recycling. Ask us about Certificates of Recycling and Destruction for additional protection.
