Artarmon is an industrial estate wedged into the North Shore, and the equipment that comes out of it reflects that. Alongside the usual office machines there are controllers, test rigs, label systems and embedded PCs driving machinery, and none of them are on anyone’s asset register.
Kinsoft collects and securely destroys end-of-life hardware across Artarmon, Lane Cove, Chatswood West, St Leonards and Naremburn.
What makes an Artarmon collection different
Industrial equipment hides storage. A PC bolted inside a machine cabinet, running Windows XP and holding years of production data, is still a hard drive. It is routinely scrapped with the machine.
Test and calibration gear holds results. Benchtop instruments with internal memory keep measurement logs that may be part of a compliance record. Those need checking before disposal, not after.
Server rooms here are real. Artarmon businesses often run their own racks rather than relying on a building’s facilities, so collections include switches, UPS units, NAS boxes and tape libraries.
Trade access is straightforward. Roller doors and yard parking mean a pallet jack and a truck work fine — no dock bookings required.
Secure data destruction
Drives are wiped to DoD 5220.22-M by default, with NIST 800-88 and the Australian ISM available. SSDs use firmware-level Secure Erase. Certificates record make, model, serial, standard and verification per device. Full detail on our e-waste removal and data destruction page.

There’s a PC inside one of our machines. Does that count?
Yes. If it has a drive, it holds data. Embedded industrial PCs are one of the most commonly overlooked items in a workshop clear-out.
Can you take UPS units and batteries?
UPS units yes. Sealed lead-acid batteries we handle separately through a battery recycler — tell us what you have and we will sort the stream.
We still have an LTO tape library. What happens to the tapes?
Tapes are degaussed and physically destroyed, and listed individually on the certificate. A wiped library with readable tapes is not secure.
