From: Phoenix E-Waste Solutions LLC Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 11:32 AM To: sfoss...@aea8.k12.ia.us Once again this year during Earth Week, April 20th thru April 24th Phoenix E-Waste Solutions LLC in Marshalltown Iowa will be holding an E-Cycling Drive for Schools located throughout all of Iowa. This E-Cycling drive is geared towards reducing and diverting toxic wastes from area landfills. Recycling Fee Schedule: CRT Computer Monitors: $6.00 Each Flat Pannel Computer Monitors: $5.00 each Desktop Printers: $2.00 each PC's, Miscellanious items such as: Keyboards, mice, speakers, cables, overhead projectors are accepted at no charge. Collection will take place during the week of April 20th. Items must be palletized and wrapped for trucking. Please contact Brett or Mike with Phoenix E-Waste at 1-641-753-7200 or e-mail us at pesoluti...@iowatelecom.net to schedule a pickup or for further questions. I'm sure a few of you will have questions concerning e-waste recycled through us. Hopefully I can cover them all in this short E-Mail Q. What happens to our 'stuff' once it has arrived at your facility? A. We break everything down into roughly 8 categories- Computers Computer Monitors TV's Printers Miscellaneous Items (VCR's, Radio's, Recording Device's, typewriters, things like this) Keyboards Mice Flat Screen Monitors From there, each category is once again broke down completely by de-manufacturing everything in house. By the time we are done, we have roughly 16 commodities ready for shredding/smelting or re-use. Q. I am concerned with the information that may be left on the hard drives even though we did a complete wipe, what do you do to insure me that my information is safe? A. We take this very seriously. We start by using our in house Veridan Hard drive de-gausser. This unit will 'fry' a hard drive in roughly 5 seconds, and any drive up to 500mb. This physically destroys the media disk located inside the drive. This deems the drive inoperable and unusable. From there, we cage drives up and transport to an undisclosed shredding facility right here in Iowa. We then recover the aluminum scrap for breakage. Q. What happens to our CRT Glass? Do you recycle it on site, and are you permitted to recycle these items? A. As I noted before, we de-manufacture everything in house. CRT Tubes are binned, weighed, and shipped to Doe Run, St Louis Mo for crushing and lead extraction. We call this Glass-to-Glass recycling.

Re: [info-tech] Fw:
If you are really concerned about data, I would recommend using Darik's Boot and Nuke available at: http://www.dban.org/ You create a Boot CD or other boot media. Boot the computer from the new media, and choose your option to clear the disk. Options include a DOD (Dept of Defense) level wipe. Phoenix has no computer resale so all equipment is destroyed. Unless the data is really critical I would probably skip the wipe, but if you have the time, DBAN will ensure no data can be recovered from a drive.

RE: [info-tech] Fw:
Well typically, those old 7 and 18 GB SCSI drives and 40GB ATA drives aren't worth the metal they're made from, so it's simply more cost-effective to destroy them in seconds rather than hooking them up and using software to erase to DOD standards. And if the DOD standards for erasing hard drives are anything like their standards for intrusion prevention, then I don't feel that safe (http://blogs.spectrum.ieee.org/riskfactor/2008/03/dod_admits_to_being_s everely_h.html). Besides, we don't want to assume that there isn't any data on those hard drives that would be valuable to anyone, so rather than taking the time to scan for data and information on those drives, they simply get destroyed.

I've done this 3 times in 12 years. It has the downside of not being able to use it on anything else, however I guarantee this technique will prevent any known data recovery technique. Ok, a Ouija board might help. But can you imagine doing all those 0's and 1's?

I am concerned with the information that may be left on the hard drives even though we did a complete wipe, what do you do to insure me that my information is safe? A. We take this very seriously. We start by using our in house Veridan Hard drive de-gausser. This unit will 'fry' a hard drive in roughly 5 seconds, and any drive up to 500mb. Correct me if I'm wrong, but 500 Megabyte drives really aren't an issue for any of us...

I want to move it to a new server. I have it setup correctly according to Sophos Techs but the CID doesn't update. Will not pull files from the parent to populate the Interchk/ESXP shared folder. Checked that Sophos was allowed through the firewall and it does download about 73 megs of DAT files which it uses to build the distribution package but never does the package. Folder rights are correct. It is 2008 server. Anyone seen this?
