Complete physical destruction. No data survives.
Our industrial shredder handles all drive types and form factors. If data lives on it, we can destroy it. Common items we shred include:
If you have media not listed here, contact us. The answer is almost certainly yes.
Software-based erasure and reformatting leave the physical media intact. Determined recovery tools can reconstruct data from drives that have been wiped, reformatted, or even partially damaged. The only method that provides an absolute, verifiable guarantee is physical destruction.
Our industrial shredder reduces media to particles no larger than 2mm — well below the threshold specified by NIST 800-88 for physical destruction. At that particle size, there is no substrate left to recover data from. Not partially, not theoretically — not at all.
This is why HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-88, and other frameworks specifically recognize physical destruction as the highest-assurance disposal method. It is not just the most secure option — it is the only option that cannot be circumvented by advances in recovery technology.
The entire event happens at your location. You never relinquish custody of sensitive media until the moment it is destroyed.
Our self-contained mobile unit pulls to your facility. No building hookups needed. We generate our own power and operate in any parking area or loading dock.
Every drive and piece of media is individually scanned with a hand-held barcode reader. Serial numbers are logged into our chain-of-custody system before a single item enters the shredder.
Media is fed into the industrial shredder on-camera. You are welcome to observe. Surveillance footage records the entire event for your records.
You receive a detailed certificate of destruction listing every serial number, the date, the technician, and the destruction method. Your legal proof of compliance.
Shredded material is transported to certified recycling partners. We provide downstream documentation so your disposal chain is fully documented end to end.
