"“After searching high and low for a company to remove a large number of CRT monitors from our business, we found ARC quite by chance on the internet. That chance proved to be very advantageous. Bradd and Chris removed the monitors quickly and efficiently and with a smile! We have since used them to remove other items such as large copiers and printers/plotters. ARC is now our first stop when we need to remove or recycle any equipment according to the WEEE directive. “ "

Assessment

Equipment will be assessed into two categories:

• Suitable to Reuse: ARC will maximise use of resaleable equipment. Resaleable equipment will be taken into company stock for resale. An agreed percentage of the resale value will be returned to you.
• Suitable to recycle: Equipment classified as waste or unusable will be treated and recycled in accordance with legislation and ICER codes

Data Destruction

With the tightening of the law, concerning the Data protection Act, more and more information is protected.All of our security procedures and data removal techniques are subject to audit.

Basic data removal: De-partitioning of any hard drive, followed by overwriting, reformatting and a scan.

Enhanced data removal: Involves a specialised overwriting procedure (which is required for highly sensitive data).This service is available on request.

Liability

ARC will assume the liability for any data removal and all environmental disposal issues for all of your equipment, once it is removed from your premises.
