Why Grand Rapids
West Michigan's health system, office furniture manufacturers, and consumer goods headquarters all retire hardware at scale. We usually pair Grand Rapids with Lansing or Detroit stops.
Grand Rapids 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.

Questions from Grand Rapids
Is Grand Rapids next-day?
No; it is about four hours and in our extended range. We schedule it with additional planning and a higher minimum, usually alongside Lansing or Detroit, and tell you the number before we come.
How soon can you be in Grand Rapids?
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 Grand Rapids?
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 Grand Rapids?
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.
