Why Sandusky and Norwalk
NASA Glenn’s Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility sits south of Sandusky with the world’s largest space environment simulation chamber, and its contractors and research partners are the reason this page exists. Norwalk is fifteen minutes east, Camp Perry half an hour west, and Erie and Huron County governments, the health system, and lakefront tourism fill in the rest.
Because Sandusky and Norwalk 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.

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 Sandusky and Norwalk
Do you serve NASA Armstrong contractors?
Yes. Federal contractor media is destroyed to NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 with a certificate naming the equipment and each serial, and to NSA/CSS 9-12 where the program requires it.
How soon can you be in Sandusky and Norwalk?
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 Sandusky and Norwalk 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 Sandusky and Norwalk?
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 Sandusky and Norwalk?
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.
