Apple Data Destruction

Service Description

Eco-Tech's Apple Data Eradication Service provides a secure and cost-effective solution for removing confidential information from Apple laptops and desktops. Using a USB-based Linux Live OS and industry-standard tools, we completely wipe user data, including macOS system volumes, APFS and HFS+ partitions, recovery partitions, and personal files. Basic Erasure is performed on-site at Eco-Tech using GParted for fast and effective data removal, while On-Site Advanced Erasure is performed at the client’s home or office using a single-pass zero-fill overwrite with the dd CLI command for enhanced security. Due to the nature of a full disk overwrite, this process can take several hours to complete, typically around 2.5 hours for a 1TB 5400 RPM hard drive. To use this service, the device must power on and be in proper working condition. Basic Erasure may be supervised at Eco-Tech for transparency. For the On-Site Advanced Erasure option, the overwrite process is initiated by Eco-Tech staff but is not supervised to completion; clients are required to take a photo of the completed process and send it to Eco-Tech to confirm successful erasure. This service provides a reliable, non-invasive way to securely erase Apple devices while promoting responsible recycling. Pricing is $20 CAD per device for Basic Erasure and $140 CAD per device for On-Site Advanced Erasure ($20 CAD per additional computer). Volume discounts are available for multiple devices. By choosing Eco-Tech, customers ensure their sensitive data is removed safely while contributing to a more sustainable approach to electronics disposal.
