Why Lima
The Joint Systems Manufacturing Center, better known as the Lima Army Tank Plant, is the only place in the country that builds and rebuilds the Abrams. It is government-owned and operated by General Dynamics Land Systems, and a supplier base across Allen County supports it. Lima also has a refinery, a Ford engine plant, a Procter & Gamble plant, and a regional health system.
Because Lima 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.

Three services, one visit
Hard drive shredding in Lima

Secure IT recycling in Lima
Secure IT recycling in Lima handles the refinery, engine plant, and consumer goods plant hardware alongside the health system: storage destroyed on the truck, working parts back into service, boards to a domestic smelter.
IT asset disposition in Lima
IT asset disposition in Lima is defense-supplier refreshes with CMMC in mind and plant upgrades with process data in mind. We inventory, destroy on-site, and document under your security officer's conditions. For a handful of drives, Shred by Mail is often the better fit.

The rules in Ohio
Ohio Data Protection Act and HB 96
Ohio's Data Protection Act gives businesses a legal safe harbor when they follow a recognized cybersecurity framework such as NIST — and documented media sanitization is part of any of them. Ohio HB 96 adds cybersecurity program requirements for counties, cities, townships, school districts, libraries, and other political subdivisions.
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 Lima
Can you support the tank plant's suppliers under DoDM 5205.07?
Yes, under your CA SAPCO's approval and your PSO's conditions. Your SAP-briefed personnel handle and witness, the equipment is NSA-listed, and the certificate itemizes each item.
How soon can you be in Lima?
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 Lima 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 Lima?
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 Lima?
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.
