Kavanagh Recycling and Recovery Limited is an IT Services Company specialising in IT Asset Disposal and secure Data Destruction and was established in late 2012. It is located at 69 Cookstown Industrial Estate, Tallaght, Dublin 24, which is a 15,000 sq foot facility. Since its introduction Kavanaghs have built up a strong reputation as one of Ireland’s leading players in the computer recycling, scrap computer, IT disposal and data destruction fields. The company was founded by Eoghan Kavanagh who identified a major market opportunity in secure IT Asset Disposal following over thirty years in the high tech and communications industries.

The difference between this business and some of the charities operating in this sector is that Kavanagh Recycling & Recovery is a professional IT Services Company specialising in IT Asset Disposal with emphasis on Data Destruction and Security. It is no longer good enough to rely on non IT specialists such as charities manned by volunteers to manage your data on end of life IT equipment. To emphasis this point, the penalties for offences under the Data Protection Act issued by the Data Protection Commissioner, in the event of a data breach via end of life equipment, can be up to €250,000.

Kavanagh Recycling and Recovery specialises in IT Asset Disposal, Computer Recycling, WEEE Recycling and Secure Data Destruction. The company, from its base in South Dublin, can provide enterprise with a safe, secure, compliant solution for the management of all types of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

Kavanagh’s Data Destruction service is a certified software process that erases all data from Server, PC and Laptop hard disk drives. This service provides a certifiable secure service for clients while maintaining the integrity of the hard disk drive for Reuse.
