Mobile e-waste pickup, professional data recovery, and certified hard drive destruction — all handled locally, with a certificate and your peace of mind.
Retro Data Recovery is a locally owned and operated service based in La Porte, Indiana. We started because we saw a real gap — most people have no idea what to do with old electronics, and even fewer know how much personal data is sitting on the drives inside them.
We come to you. We handle the heavy lifting. And we make sure every device is either safely recycled, every file is recovered, or every drive is destroyed beyond recovery — with documentation to prove it.
Our drive destruction meets the federal standard used by government agencies and healthcare providers. You get a signed Certificate of Destruction with every wipe or shred.
Every device we collect goes to a certified municipal recycling facility. Nothing we pick up ends up in a dumpster or landfill — ever.
From clearing out old electronics to keeping your network and website running, we handle the IT stuff most people would rather not deal with — all local, all hands-on, no call centers.
We come to your home or business, load up your old electronics, and drop them at the La Porte County municipal recycling facility. No haul, no hassle.
Deleted files, corrupted drives, accidentally formatted storage — we use professional-grade software to recover what you thought was gone.
Software wipe or physical destruction with a signed Certificate of Destruction — meets NIST 800-88 standards. Ideal for businesses, medical offices, and legal firms.
Wi-Fi dead zones, new equipment installs, or a small office network that needs to actually make sense — we design, wire, and set it up right the first time. Business installs are scoped to the number of access points, cable runs, and IDF/MDF connections required.
A clean, fast website for your business — built and set up start to finish. Domain registration runs about $20 for the first year (varies by provider and how many years you register).
A local backup appliance that quietly protects your files, plus scheduled offsite drive rotation — so a fire, theft, or ransomware attack in one location doesn't cost you everything.
Call or text with a rough inventory of what you need picked up or serviced.

We show up, handle the heavy lifting, and get drives wiped or destroyed on the spot if needed.
Electronics go to certified recycling. You get your certificate if applicable. That's it.
Whether you deleted something by accident, your drive stopped showing up, or you're getting a file system error — logical data recovery is often possible without replacing any hardware.
We do an initial diagnostic and give you a go/no-go before charging for recovery work.
Deleting files isn't enough. Formatting isn't enough. We wipe drives to NIST 800-88 standards — or drill them into scrap — and give you a signed Certificate of Destruction listing the serial number, method, and date.
Ideal for HIPAA-covered practices, legal offices, and any business disposing of old IT assets.
