Services
Four lines of work, priced separately
All four run on the same custody chain and produce the same certificate. What differs is how the material is counted, how it is destroyed, and what the unit of price is.
01
Paper and records destruction
Locked collection consoles and 64-gallon bins are placed at your facility and serviced on a fixed schedule. Containers are sealed with numbered tamper-evident seals before they leave the floor, and the seal number is what ties your material to the certificate.
- Method
- Cross-cut shredding, then baled for pulping
- Unit of price
- Priced per container, per service
Typical material
- Case files and correspondence
- Personnel and medical records
- Financial and procurement records
- Printouts, microfiche, carbon forms
- X-ray film and photographic negatives
02
Hard drive and electronic media destruction
Drives and media are destroyed physically, not wiped. Each serial number is recorded against the container seal it arrived in and appears individually on the Certificate of Destruction, which is what an auditor asks for when a device goes missing from an inventory.
- Method
- Shred, disintegrate, or pulverize per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2
- Unit of price
- Priced per unit, serial-tracked
Typical material
- Hard disk drives and solid-state drives
- LTO and DLT backup tape
- Optical media — CD, DVD, Blu-ray
- USB drives, memory cards, mobile handsets
- Access badges, smart cards, credentials
03
IT asset disposition
Retired equipment is inventoried by asset tag and serial, data-bearing components are destroyed, and the remaining hardware is recycled or remarketed. You get an asset-level report, not a weight ticket.
- Method
- Media destroyed; chassis recycled through downstream audit
- Unit of price
- Priced per asset, less recovery credit
Typical material
- Workstations, laptops, and servers
- Network and telecom equipment
- Printers and multifunction devices with storage
- Monitors and peripherals
04
One-time purge
A scheduled bulk destruction project: an expired retention schedule, a facility closure, an office move, or an evidence room cleanout. Volume is counted and sealed on arrival so the certificate reconciles against your own disposal authorisation.
- Method
- On-site or plant destruction, customer's choice
- Unit of price
- Priced per project
Typical material
- Boxed records past their retention schedule
- Facility decommissioning and office moves
- Evidence and property-room disposal
- Uniforms, badges, and branded material
On-site or off-site
Where the material stops being readable
Some statements of work specify one or the other. Where the choice is yours, this is the trade: on-site buys certainty about the address, off-site buys throughput and therefore price.
| Mode | Where destruction happens | Custody | Witness | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-site | Destroyed in the truck at your loading dock | Material never leaves your address intact | In person from the dock. A camera feed is not a substitute — the CJIS glossary is explicit that cameras do not constitute an escort | CJI and evidence material, classified-adjacent holdings, and any SOW that names on-site destruction |
| Off-site | Sealed, transported, destroyed at the plant | Numbered seals and a signed transfer at every hand-off | Scheduled plant witness in person. Video is retained, but it does not satisfy a CJIS escort requirement | Routine scheduled service and high-volume purges where throughput sets the price |
