Why Detroit
Automotive engineering data is some of the most valuable intellectual property in the country, and it lives on ordinary drives. Detroit also has large health systems, mortgage and fintech headquarters, and Wayne County government. The Army vehicle programs in Warren have their own page.
Because Detroit 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.

Hard drive shredding in Detroit
Hard drive shredding in Detroit protects the intellectual property of an entire industry: automotive engineering data on ordinary workstations and servers at the OEMs and their suppliers. Health systems across Wayne and Oakland counties, mortgage and fintech headquarters, and Wayne County government send drives on the same runs.
Secure IT recycling in Detroit
Secure IT recycling in Detroit handles engineering-center refreshes and hospital fleets: storage destroyed on-site, chassis and peripherals sorted for reuse, boards to a domestic smelter through R2-certified partners. The Army's programs in Warren have their own page and their own rules.
IT asset disposition in Detroit
IT asset disposition in Detroit is often a supplier's engineering refresh with CAD workstations and test-bench PCs, or a health-system cycle. We inventory by serial, destroy on-site, and document to the standard that applies. 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 Michigan
Identity Theft Protection Act
Michigan's Identity Theft Protection Act requires notice when personal information is compromised — including data recovered from discarded or resold equipment.
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 Detroit
Do you serve the automotive suppliers, not just the OEMs?
Yes, and the suppliers often hold more sensitive engineering data than the OEMs realize. Witnessed destruction on your lot with a serial log is the same whether you have fifty drives or five hundred.
How soon can you be in Detroit?
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 Detroit 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 Detroit?
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 Detroit?
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.
