Is wiping enough, or do we need to shred?

Both are acceptable when done correctly. Many clients choose software wipe with verification for reusable devices and shredding for highly sensitive media or when reuse is not desired.

Will we get proof for auditors?

Yes—Certificates of Data Destruction and Recycling tied to serial numbers and specific methods (overwrite, crypto-erase, shred).

Can you do this after hours?

Yes. We schedule early mornings, evenings, or weekends to avoid disruption.

Do you resell equipment?

If your policy allows, we evaluate devices for redeployment or ethical resale; otherwise, all items are recycled via certified partners.

What about phones and printers with storage?

We sanitize or remove storage in mobile devices and multifunction printers, then recycle the chassis through certified channels.

Trusted Secure Tech Computer E-Waste Disposal Las Vegas

Old laptops in a closet. Retired servers under a desk. USB drives with who knows what on them. For most businesses, tech disposal feels risky, and it is. The answer isn’t just drop it at a recycler. A documented process that destroys sensitive data and keeps e-waste out of landfills is the way to go, and we do it for you!

Southwest Cloud Partners provides secure, NIST 800-88–aligned data destruction and e-recycling for our Managed IT clients in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City with chain-of-custody, proof of destruction, and responsible downstream handling.

Why “just deleting files” isn’t enough

Risk: Drives and SSDs routinely hold emails, tax records, client PII, financials, and credentials—even after a simple format.
Compliance: Many SMBs fall under FTC Safeguards Rule, GLBA, HIPAA, or IRS Pub. 4557 expectations. Disposal is part of your WISP.
Modern media quirks: SSDs and NVMe drives need the right method (sanitize/crypto-erase or shred); degaussing works for spinning HDDs but not SSDs and renders drives unusable.

Off-site destruction: what we recommend

Off-site: We seal and transport media with chain-of-custody; destruction and reporting occur at a secured facility. Typically more cost-effective for larger batches.

What we take (and what we don’t)

We accept:

Desktops, laptops, thin clients, tablets, smartphones
Servers, switches/routers, firewalls, APs
Hard drives (HDD), SSD/NVMe, tapes, USBs, memory cards
Monitors (LCD/LED), docking stations, peripherals, cables, adapters
Printers/MFPs (with storage sanitized or removed)

Hazmat exclusions: Alkaline batteries in bulk, CRTs (case-by-case), leaking/compromised batteries, and non-IT appliances. Ask for the full list, there are safe options.
