Viterbi IT Degausser

You have the option to drop off the magnetic media such as computer tapes and hard drives that you want to e-waste to Viterbi IT. Viterbi IT will degauss the magnetic media to wipe out data and transfer the wiped hard drive to USC Environmental Health and Safety for proper disposal. If requested, Viterbi IT will send you an email to acknowledge the the number of hard drives received and to confirm that the hard drives have been degaussed.

You may also make a special appointment to use the Degausser. Please give 1 business day advance notice. Viterbi IT may not be able to accommodate requests with less than 1 business day. Appointments could be made by submitting a request at https://viterbi.usc.edu/servicedesk, or emailing engrhelp@usc.edu.

Magnetic media may be dropped off with the Viterbi Service Desk in DRB 205, Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm (except for University holidays).

Any type of magnetic media such as hard drives, magnetic tapes or even floppy disks.
