NAID AAA-Certified Hard Drive Shredding in Sacramento

On-Site Hard Drive and Electronics Destruction

On-site hard drive destruction involves physically destroying hard drives and other electronic devices at the customer's location. The process typically involves using specialized equipment to shred the hard drive into small pieces. Our low-emissions, industrial-level shredding trucks can come directly to your location in Vallejo, Stockton, Santa Rosa, San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, Redding, Oakland, Modesto, Fremont, Chico, Berkeley, and surrounding areas. We request that a representative from your organization observe the shredding process, which is also filmed by a CCTV camera mounted on the side of the truck. Once the process is complete, we will provide you with a Certificate of Destruction (COD) for your records.

Off-Site Hard Drive and Electronics Shredding

This involves transporting electronic devices from a home or business to a secure facility, where they are then shredded and destroyed. We use off-site hard drive shredding when on-site isn't possible due to logistical constraints or the volume of devices that need to be destroyed. We secure your items at our facility, placing them under lock and key that's only accessible under dual control until they're ready for destruction. All shredded material is aggregated and recycled under Calrecycle and Federal guidelines, and 95% of shredded materials are turned into household products like toilet paper, napkins, and paper plates.
