Data Security
We recommend for the public to erase all their data on their data storage device before dropping them off for recycling. From our end, ALBA E-Waste ensures that the E-Waste will be collected, sorted and transported to qualified recyclers. These recyclers have been audited and have specific data sanitisation mechanisms put in place when processing the E-Waste.
We offer different levels of data sanitization measures based on the different medium types like computer, laptops, mobiles, and tablets. Costs vary depending on the type of solutions. Write to us at contact.ewaste@albagroup.asia for more details.
