Why Cleveland
Cleveland's two hospital systems are among the largest in the country, and between them, the Federal Reserve bank, NASA's research center, and the banks headquartered downtown, the region generates a steady stream of regulated media to retire.
Because Cleveland is one of our next-day metros, we can usually be on-site the day after you call, and there is no minimum: a single server is a job. Every on-site job is quoted individually, so tell us what you have and we will send a custom quote.

Three services, one visit
Hard drive shredding in Cleveland
Hard drive shredding in Cleveland is dominated by healthcare. The Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals systems retire imaging workstations, PACS storage, and clinic PCs on a schedule that never stops, and every one of them holds PHI. We park at the loading dock, shred while the department watches, and hand over a certificate a HIPAA auditor recognizes.
Secure IT recycling in Cleveland
Secure IT recycling in Cleveland serves the region's banks, the Federal Reserve, NASA Glenn's contractors, and Cuyahoga County. Storage is destroyed on the truck; monitors, docks, and chassis are sorted for reuse; boards are smelted domestically. For financial clients the recycling paperwork closes the GLBA loop.
IT asset disposition in Cleveland
IT asset disposition in Cleveland often means a hospital-wide refresh or a bank branch consolidation: hundreds of identical devices, each needing a serial-number record. We inventory, destroy, and document in one pass, and we schedule around clinical hours so a shred never competes with a shift change. For a handful of drives, Shred by Mail is often the better fit.
What happens on the day
The truck arrives
We park at your dock or lot. Your staff bring the media out, or we pull it from racks and closets with you.
Everything is destroyed while you watch
Hard drives are shredded. Solid-state media is reduced to 2 mm particles. Tapes, phones, and optical media go in the same day. Serial numbers can be recorded first.
You keep the certificate
A Certificate of Destruction listing what was destroyed, by which method, and when, plus recycling documentation from our R2-certified partners.
The rules in Ohio
Ohio Data Protection Act and HB 96
Ohio's Data Protection Act gives businesses a legal safe harbor when they follow a recognized cybersecurity framework such as NIST — and documented media sanitization is part of any of them. Ohio HB 96 adds cybersecurity program requirements for counties, cities, townships, school districts, libraries, and other political subdivisions.
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 Cleveland
Do you work under a Business Associate Agreement for Cleveland hospitals?
Yes. We sign a BAA before the first drive is touched, destroy on your dock so PHI never leaves the building, and the certificate lists every serial number for your HIPAA records.
How soon can you be in Cleveland?
Usually the next business day. Same-day is sometimes possible if the truck is already routed your way.
Is there a minimum?
No. Small jobs in Cleveland are easy to add to a route. For a handful of drives, Shred by Mail may be cheaper.
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 Cleveland?
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 Cleveland?
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.
