Our AS/NZS 5377 certification means we meet Australia's standard for the collection, storage and treatment of e-waste, so your equipment is handled correctly from pickup to recycling.
We use NIST 800-88 compliant erasure with Blancco software to clear your device's data completely, with full reporting so you can see exactly what was wiped.
Our Derrimut site handles any volume, from a single server rack to a full data-centre decommission, with 24/7 monitoring and strict chain of custody from collection to destruction.
Your data's end of life matters as much as its beginning. At ReSource we don't just delete data, we make it unrecoverable, and we prove it.
How we do it:
• On-site destruction – we bring mobile shredding to your premises so drives never leave your sight
• Off-site destruction – secure, tracked transport to our monitored Derrimut facility
• Hard drive sanitisation and destruction – NIST 800-88 erasure, degaussing or physical shredding, depending on your compliance needs
• Certified reporting – a Certificate of Destruction listing every serial number
• Responsible recycling – destroyed material is processed on site under AS/NZS 5377, not landfilled
We work with government departments, local councils, data centres, healthcare providers, financial institutions and corporates across Victoria.

Our data destruction process follows the highest security standards in the industry. We use NIST 800-88 compliant sanitising software to wipe all data, and state-of-the-art equipment to physically destroy devices, ensuring data is completely unrecoverable. Our Derrimut facility is monitored 24/7, all staff undergo background checks, and we maintain a strict chain of custody for every item from collection to destruction.
Yes. For organisations that can't let drives leave the building, we bring mobile shredding equipment to your premises anywhere in metropolitan Melbourne and destroy the media in front of your staff. You still receive a full Certificate of Destruction, and the shredded material is taken back to our Derrimut facility for recycling.
It depends on the number and type of devices, whether you need on-site or off-site destruction, and the level of reporting required. For many organisations the cost is partly or fully offset by the resale value we recover from working equipment through our ITAD service. Send us an inventory or a rough count and we'll give you a free, no-obligation quote within one business day.
AS 5377 is an Australian standard for the collection, storage, and destruction of electronic waste. Our certification demonstrates that we meet stringent requirements for secure and environmentally responsible e-waste management. This certification is important because it provides our clients with assurance that their data and devices are being handled according to best practices, minimizing the risk of data breaches and environmental harm.
Yes, we provide a detailed Certificate of Destruction for every job we complete. This document includes information such as the date of destruction, method used, serial numbers of destroyed devices (where applicable), and confirmation that the destruction process meets relevant standards.
