When you dispose of your old computer, even if you have erased or formatted your hard disk, it is possible to retrieve the information from it*, including any personal data you may have had stored on it such as on-line banking details, personal documents, financial transactions and so on.

In addition to my computer tuition service, I also provided a "Hard Disk Extermination" service whereby I will eliminate all data from your old hard disk. I carry out this service in your home or office and I guarantee that no data from your old hard disk will ever be retrieved.

My charges for this "Hard Disk Extermination" service is
£30.00 per hard disk.

An additional charge of £10.00
is charged should you wish to have the rest of your computer recycled.
