Solid State Drives accepted for recycling at 1PC

Description

SATA, NVMe, M.2, and external solid state drives are accepted for secure handling.

Considerations before bringing it

Keep tiny screws, adapters, or enclosures only if you need them. Label drives if your organization tracks assets.

Data and privacy prep

Back up needed files first. SSDs can require specialized sanitization or physical destruction; ask during drop-off if you need documentation. Fee applies.

Best way to bring it to us

Bring SSDs in a small bag or container so they are not lost during transport.

What happens after drop-off

SSDs are routed for secure processing, reuse only when appropriate, parts recovery, or downstream recycling.
