Why Buffalo
Buffalo's health systems, a regional bank headquartered downtown, a cancer research center, and the university generate regulated media year-round. We reach Buffalo along I-90 through Erie and can pair the two.
Buffalo is in our extended range. We schedule it with additional planning, and job minimums are higher than in our next-day metros because of the travel involved. If a neighboring organization has drives to add to the same run, everyone's cost comes down. Every on-site job is quoted individually, so tell us what you have and we will send a custom quote.

The rules in New York
SHIELD Act
New York's SHIELD Act requires reasonable safeguards for private information, including disposing of it within a reasonable time after it is no longer needed by erasing electronic media so the data cannot be read or reconstructed.
Federal standards we destroy to
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 for every job. NSA/CSS 9-12 for classified and national security media, and DoDM 5205.07 for Special Access Program material. HIPAA, CJIS, GLBA, FACTA, CMMC, IRS 1075, and FERPA depending on who you are. See how we match method to standard.
Questions from Buffalo
What does extended-range scheduling mean for Buffalo?
Buffalo is about four hours from Mansfield. We schedule it with additional planning, carry a higher job minimum because of the travel, and pair it with Erie or Rochester runs to bring the cost down for everyone.
How soon can you be in Buffalo?
Extended-range visits need additional lead time. Tell us your window and we will build a route around it, sooner if the truck is already headed your way.
Is there a minimum?
Yes. Extended-range visits carry a higher job minimum because of the travel. For a handful of drives, Shred by Mail is the better fit; for a large decommission, the truck is worth it.
What does it cost?
Every on-site job is quoted individually based on item count, media types, the standard you need, and travel. Here is what moves the number, or tell us what you have and we will send a custom quote.
Do you offer free pickup or free recycling in Buffalo?
No. Free recycling makes its money by reselling your hardware whole, online or overseas, which is exactly how retired drives end up in a breach. Our fee pays technicians to disassemble your equipment, inspect every part that could hold data, and destroy those parts on your site with a certificate. If nothing sensitive was ever on the equipment, free may be fine. If your data is regulated or classified, it is not. Why free is not free.
Do you handle classified media in Buffalo?
Yes. We are one of very few providers able to meet NSA/CSS 9-12 and DoDM 5205.07 destruction requirements on-site, with NSA-listed equipment and your cleared personnel supervising, under your security officer’s conditions.
Can our staff watch?
Yes, and we encourage it. Witnessed destruction is the point of bringing the truck to you.
What about paper records?
We do not shred paper. We concentrate on electronic media, and we can point you to a paper-shredding partner we trust.
