About Erase Data

For two decades we've helped South African businesses protect what matters most - their confidential information - while leaving the smallest possible footprint behind.

Built on trust. Run on integrity.

Erase Data was founded to solve a single problem: South African businesses had data destruction obligations under POPI, but no transparent, certified, recyclable way to fulfil them.

Today we operate from four regional depots - Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Gqeberha - with a fleet of mobile shredding trucks, secure collection vehicles and a high-capacity warehouse shredding plant. We shred for law firms, banks, hospitals, government departments, hotels and corporates of every size.

And every kilogram we shred is recycled into new paper products. Closed loop. Zero landfill.
