Why Lansing
Lansing is Michigan's capital, so state agencies set the tone. Add the university, an insurance and financial services sector, and an auto plant, and there's steady demand for documented destruction.
Because Lansing 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 Lansing
Hard drive shredding in Lansing is state government work first. Michigan's agencies, the insurance and financial services headquarters, Michigan State University, and the health system retire drives that carry citizen records, and the Identity Theft Protection Act applies to every one of them.
Secure IT recycling in Lansing
Secure IT recycling in Lansing handles state and university fleets: storage destroyed on-site, parts with no data risk returned to service, boards smelted domestically. The GM plant retires industrial hardware on its own schedule.
IT asset disposition in Lansing
IT asset disposition in Lansing is agency-scale: hundreds of identical workstations at a time, each needing a serial-number record. We inventory, destroy, and document in one pass, and IRS 1075 documentation is included where tax data is involved. 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 Lansing
How is Lansing scheduled?
Lansing is about three and a quarter hours from Mansfield and scheduled within the week, often paired with Ann Arbor or Battle Creek. Agencies with recurring purges can book a standing date.
How soon can you be in Lansing?
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 Lansing 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 Lansing?
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 Lansing?
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.
