Does Recycle Bridge offer hard drive destruction in Toronto?
Yes. We perform on-site hard drive destruction by crushing and shredding drives, either at your location or after secure pickup. With on-site service, destruction happens in front of you, so sensitive data never leaves your premises intact.
How much does hard drive destruction cost?
On-site: a $150 CAD visit during business hours, plus $15 CAD per drive crushed in your presence. Off-site: a $65 CAD pickup, plus $15 CAD per drive. Evenings and weekends add 50% to the visit or pickup charge; statutory holidays add 100%. The per-drive rate stays the same. For example, 3 drives on-site come to $195 CAD; off-site, $110 CAD. 20 or more drives in one visit are $10 CAD per drive.
Will I get proof that my data was destroyed?
Yes. An official Certificate of Destruction is included with every hard drive destruction service.
Is Recycle Bridge a registered recycler?
Yes. Recycle Bridge is registered with Ontario’s Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority (RPRA), the provincial body overseeing electronics recycling and end-of-life obligations in Ontario.
Is Recycle Bridge insured?
Yes. Recycle Bridge carries $2 million in commercial general liability insurance, plus $500,000 in professional liability (errors and omissions) coverage that includes cyber and privacy breach. The policy covers e-waste pickup and transport and both on-site and off-site hard drive destruction. If your organization needs a certificate of insurance for its vendor or compliance file, just ask and I will have one issued by my insurance broker.
What happens to my old electronics after pickup?
Usable devices, such as some laptops, are refurbished and resold; the rest is sent for recycling.
Do you serve residential customers, or only businesses?
Both. Our primary focus is commercial/B2B electronics pickup and recycling, but residential customers and customers with smaller quantities can also request pickup. A $65 CAD pickup charge covers the first 150 lb; additional weight over 150 lb is $0.40 CAD per lb (HST applicable). Availability may depend on the type of electronics, pickup location, and handling requirements. For questions about your items, contact Recycle Bridge at (437) 344-5503 or info@recyclebridge.ca.

Do you offer pickups outside regular business hours?
Yes. After-hours, weekend, and holiday service is available by request for e-waste pickup and data destruction, subject to availability. Evenings and weekends add 50% to the visit or pickup charge, and statutory holidays add 100%; per-drive and per-lb rates stay the same. After-hours service is for loads that fit in one vehicle trip. Contact us in advance to schedule.
Can I get an official receipt for my insurance company?
Yes. Every pickup comes with a dated, itemized disposal receipt showing what was collected. Many customers use it for insurance claims, warranty records or asset write-offs. Data destruction jobs also include a Certificate of Destruction.
Do you serve areas outside the GTA?
