For the past 8 years we have successfully provided FREE Electronic Recycling for all of our many customers but due to some changes in the Recycling Industry and our ability to refurbish and donate to local non profits, we will have to charge for the items listed below. We have been absorbing most of the costs of these items for our clients since our first day, but as the cost of properly recycling these items have risen we need to adjust how these changes impact Our Vision Recycling.

Data Sanitization Standards
The D4 System
“Our Vision” of a greener future includes making sure our customers believe and trust in our resources. Here at Our Vision Recycling, we take your data protection seriously. Our number one priority is peace of mind for our clients. We understand the biggest concern for our customers, is what happens to the information on their hard drives. For this reason, OVR has developed our own personal data destruction system called the D4 System.
The D4 System is made up of 4 steps to ensure proper destruction of client information:
Step 1. Data is wiped using a D.O.D. standard 3-wipe pass
Step 2. Each HDD is degaussed using a large electromagnet degaussing machine
Step 3. Hard drives are then completely dismantled.
Step 4. Finally, the hard drives are shredded to ensure 100% data eradication.
No other electronic recycling company can provide this level of data destruction, much less do so at no cost to the client. On request, each client receives a complete inventory list of every hard drive destroyed, including the serial number for reference.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Data Destruction Records can be provided on request.
All hard drives are wiped fulfilling all NISP and D.O.D. 5220.22-M (3-Pass) standards for basic data sanitization. We wipe all hard drives to this standard, with no exceptions.
For especially sensitive media requiring more than these standards (i.e. Banking, Accounting, Legal, Political, Medical, etc.), hard drives can be wiped to D.O.D. 5220.28-STD standards, a 7-Pass wipe-over, followed by the final three remaining steps in the D4 system. This ensures the drive itself, as well as all data previously contained on the drive, is physically destroyed through magnetic degaussing, disassembly and physical shredding. While this does not allow us to complete “Our Vision” of reuse and recycle, it is the best way to ensure the drives cannot be read and that the destruction of high value information is guaranteed.
