Hard Drive Destruction

A hard drive never stops storing data on those old computers you are no longer using. Those hard drives are just sitting there with all of your private and confidential information. So, when a computer is decommissioned, the hard drive should be removed and destroyed. Shredding or crushing hard drives is the only way to be sure the date can never be retrieved. We will come to your Stamford Connecticut location and shred or crush your hard drives and give you a certificate of destruction listing each destroyed hard drive by serial number.

Cost – We charge a price per hard drive. The more hard drives you have to destroy the lower the cost per hard drive.  Minimums may apply

What Documents You Should Have Shredded

You will find many different recommendations and lists of what documents should be destroyed for security reasons.  It is logical that any paper record that has any private or confidential information should be shredded.  What you may not be aware that more than 50% of every document has some piece of information that privacy laws mandate that they be shredded when they are being disposed of.  The most prudent course of action is to shred every document you are discarding.

Why Document Shredding Important

All documents should be shredded before disposing of them to prevent your confidential information from being stolen by identity thieves or your competition.  Private and confidential information is on more documents than people realize, so it is recommended that all documents should be shredded instead of just throwing them away.

On-site Document Shredding is Better Than Offsite Shredding

Onsite document shredding is superior to offsite shredding because it offers greater security, convenience, and compliance assurance. With onsite shredding, confidential documents are destroyed immediately at the client’s location, eliminating the risk of information exposure during transport. This process provides transparency, allowing clients to witness the shredding in real time, ensuring peace of mind. Additionally, onsite shredding helps organizations meet privacy laws and regulatory requirements by guaranteeing secure, verified destruction, making it a more efficient and reliable solution for sensitive data disposal.

We Recycle Destroyed Documents

We are committed to being GREEN to protect the environment and save our natural resources. After FileShred destroys your documents, the shredded paper particles are recycled.  That means 100% of the paper we shred is recycled and used to make other paper products.  It has never been easier for you to have a positive effect on the environment.
