Frequently Asked Questions
What types of media can you destroy?
We destroy virtually all media types: CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, LTO/DLT/DAT backup tapes, USB drives, floppy disks, microfilm, microfiche, hard drives, and SSDs.
What is ITAD and why do I need it?
IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) is the process of securely retiring old IT equipment in a compliant and environmentally responsible manner. Proper ITAD protects you from data breaches and ensures e-waste is handled correctly.
Do you provide documentation for compliance purposes?
Yes. We provide a Certificate of Destruction for every job, listing each item destroyed, the destruction method used, and the date. This is essential for HIPAA, FACTA, and SOX compliance audits.
