​Off-Site Hard Drive Destruction for Great Security
Our hard drive destruction service is designed to make secure data disposal simple, reliable, and worry-free. We provide locked collection containers or sealed bins that remain at your business until pickup. When it’s time for destruction, our state-licensed security guards come directly to your location, collect your drives or storage media, and transport them safely to our off-site destruction facility.
At our facility, hard drives are shredded using advanced industrial equipment capable of processing up to 650 drives per hour, reducing them to small, unrecoverable metal fragments. This off-site method allows us to handle large quantities efficiently while maintaining a documented chain of custody from collection to certification.
Flexible Destruction Frequency Options
Every business manages data differently, which is why The Shredders offers flexible destruction schedules to match your needs. Whether you’re disposing of old IT equipment, decommissioning servers, or regularly retiring office devices, our hard drive destruction services can be customized to fit your operational workflow.
• Weekly Service – Ideal for companies upgrading hardware or performing data center cleanouts.
• Bi-Weekly Service – Perfect for organizations that routinely replace or decommission devices.
• Monthly Service – Convenient for businesses that handle irregular volumes of drives.
Our team will assess your equipment inventory, data compliance requirements, and logistics to recommend the service frequency that best fits your business operations.
