Why Johnstown
Johnstown built a defense manufacturing base after the steel mills closed: Concurrent Technologies, JWF Defense, Kongsberg Protech Systems, and Lockheed Martin all make or engineer hardware here for the Army and Navy. It is a CUI town with SAP work in the mix, and a natural stop between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.
Because Johnstown 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.

Questions from Johnstown
How does Johnstown fit into a route?
Johnstown is about three and a quarter hours from Mansfield and pairs with Pittsburgh or Harrisburg. We schedule it within the week, next-day when the truck is already east.
How soon can you be in Johnstown?
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 Johnstown 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 Johnstown?
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 Johnstown?
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.
