On-site data destruction · West Palm Beach facility · Certificate included
Your old hard drives still contain your passwords, tax returns, photos, and banking info. Deleting files doesn't protect you — the data stays recoverable until the drive is physically destroyed. Watch it happen. Leave with proof.
When you delete a file or format a hard drive, the data isn't actually removed — it's only marked as available space. Anyone with basic recovery software can pull your photos, tax returns, bank passwords, and Social Security number off that drive in minutes.
Think about what's sitting on that old laptop in your closet: saved passwords, banking logins, Social Security numbers, family photos, medical records. Physical destruction is the only guaranteed way to protect yourself — and the only way to know it's done right is to watch it happen in front of you.
Drop off and watch it live, have us come to you in South Florida, or mail your drives to us from anywhere in the country. Every option includes video proof and a Certificate of Destruction.
Schedule in under 2 minutes. Pick a date and time, get instant confirmation, and receive a reminder before your visit.
Bring your drives to 3705 Shares Place, Unit 6, West Palm Beach, FL. We accept all brands and types — hard drives, SSDs, phones, tablets, USBs.
Stand beside our HIPAA-certified technician and watch your drives get physically shredded. Leave with a signed Certificate of Destruction.
Can't make it to us? We come to your home or office anywhere in South Florida, seal your drives in a tamper-evident Pelican case right in front of you, destroy them at our certified facility, and email you a video of your shredding along with your Certificate of Destruction — so you see exactly what happened to your data.
Not in South Florida? No problem. We ship you a locked Pelican case with a prepaid return label. Load your drives, lock the case, drop it at any shipping location — we destroy everything at our certified facility and email you a video of the shredding plus your Certificate of Destruction.
If it stores data, we can destroy it. Bring everything in one trip to our West Palm Beach location.
The more drives you bring, the more you save. All tiers include a Certificate of Destruction and the ability to watch your drives get destroyed.
* Drive removal fees may apply for drives requiring disassembly from a device. Our team will advise you before any additional charges are applied.
Most people don't realize how easy it is to recover data from a "deleted" or recycled drive. Here's how the methods compare.
| Disposal Method | Data Risk | What Can Be Recovered | Proof of Destruction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Throw it in the trash | ● High Risk | Everything — passwords, photos, tax records, SSN | None |
| Donate or sell the device | ● High Risk | All data unless professionally wiped first | None |
| Delete files / empty trash | ● High Risk | All files — deletion only removes the reference | None |
| Format the drive | ● Medium Risk | Most data — standard format doesn't overwrite | None |
| Drop off at recycling center | ● Medium Risk | Unknown — chain of custody not guaranteed | Rarely |
| Shred The Drive | ● Zero Risk | Nothing — drive is physically destroyed to fragments | ✓ Certificate Included |
