Frequently Asked Questions
What types of media can you destroy?
We destroy all forms of digital media: optical discs (CD/DVD/Blu-ray), magnetic tapes (LTO, DLT, DAT, VHS), floppy disks, USB drives, memory cards, and any other data-bearing media.
What is ITAD and do I need it?
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) covers the secure, compliant, and environmentally responsible disposal of retired IT equipment. If your organization replaces computers, servers, or storage regularly, ITAD ensures data security and regulatory compliance.
Can backup tapes be simply degaussed instead of shredded?
Degaussing alone may be insufficient for modern LTO tapes with servo tracks. We recommend degaussing followed by physical shredding for NAID AAA compliant destruction that meets NSA guidelines.
