PC Disposal discussed in article: Data destruction and certification has long been available to companies looking to jettison large amounts of used equipment. But making it affordable for home PC users and home businesses has proved to be a challenge. Now for $25 or so plus the cost of shipping, PCDisposal will destroy your equipment and send you a certificate confirming that the data has been destroyed or erased and disposed of in an EPA-compliant manner. "Consumers get the same level of security as Time Warner," says Bostwick.

Quote from PC Disposal: "As companies get ready to clean their closets, drive cleansing should be more than just an afterthought," said Kory Bostwick of PC Disposal.

Quote from PC Disposal: "Most people delay the disposal process until the server has absolutely no value," said Kory Bostwick, principle of PCdisposal.com based in Kansas City, Kan. The firm disposes of up to 20,000 units each month, including personal computers, servers, monitors, printers, and telecom equipment. Almost 10 percent of his business is server disposal. "The sooner you get rid of it, the more value you can recapture," Bostwick said."
