As Philadelphia’s leading computer recycling company, TBS Industries is proud to provide our clients with sensible environmental solutions and complete data security.  To protect the personal information contained in confidential student records, computer data security is more important than ever for today’s educational institutions.

TBS Industries works with many colleges and universities to help them manage their computer disposal needs and to comply with data security and privacy laws. Computer upgrades can become a headache, especially when trying to comply with the applicable laws pertaining to computer and information disposal. Let us eliminate that headache.  When it comes to computer recycling and secure data disposal, TBS is your one-stop shop.

Confidential Records Disposal for Colleges and Universities 

Our proven solution to your data security requirements is a thorough removal of data, using the Department of Defense (DOD) 5220-22-M “7-times overwrite” method.  This method ensures that your institution complies fully with all HIPAA laws.  When followed correctly, the information on your old drives is irretrievable, allowing obsolete systems to be recycled, resold, or disposed of properly, in an environmentally-friendly way.
