Why Lexington
Lexington is at the far end of our next-day range, and we run it regularly. The university medical center, an imaging technology headquarters, and the auto plant in Georgetown are regular sources of retired media.
Because Lexington 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 Lexington
Do you cover Frankfort and Georgetown on a Lexington run?
Yes. Frankfort's state agencies and the Georgetown plant are within a half hour and usually share the day with Lexington stops.
How soon can you be in Lexington?
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 Lexington 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 Lexington?
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 Lexington?
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.
