What we destroy at your site

The truck's shredder handles hundreds of drives per hour. Media that doesn't suit a standard shredder is degaussed to erase the stored data.

  • Hard disk drives (HDDs)
  • Solid-state drives (SSDs)
  • Backup and data tapes
  • Server and storage array drives
  • USB flash drives and cell phones
  • CDs and DVDs

Drives still inside computers or servers? Say so when you book, since pulling them adds time to the visit.

  1. Book the visit

    Share a rough drive count, the site address, and any badge, escort or dock rules. We confirm a date and time window.

  2. Watch the shredding

    Our crew parks at your dock, inventories the drives with your team, and shreds them on the spot.

  3. Keep the certificate

    You get the Certificate of Destruction before we leave. The shredded material is then recycled through ISO 14001-certified downstream vendors.

Book a shredding visit, or call to pick a date that works around your dock schedule.

  • No transport step to account for

    The drives are destroyed before they leave your property, so custody never passes out of your team's sight.

  • Documentation to your standard

    Service tiers run from a basic certificate to DOD 5220.22-M and NIST 800-88 documentation listing the make, model, method and serial number of each drive.

  • One-time or on a cycle

    Book a single cleanout, or set a regular visit for the drives that build up between hardware refreshes.

A little bit off the beaten track in Natomas, but Modern Waste quickly and efficiently helped me recycle my broken Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries at a reasonable $/lb fee (Sac county e-waste will not accept these items). Ramiro and Vincent were very friendly and helpful.

Chris was awesome! He came in and picked up all of the e-waste we had ready for him. He was polite and professional throughout the entire process. He handled the equipment with care, including the site equipment that was already in place. I am very happy with his service and appreciate the great job he did.

We have answers.

Hard disk drives, solid-state drives and data tapes. Phones, USB flash drives and CDs or DVDs that don't suit the shredder are degaussed to erase their data.

If drives are still inside laptops, desktops or servers, mention it when you book, because removing them adds time to the visit.

Yes. The truck parks at your loading dock, the drives are inventoried with your team present, and your staff watch the shredding as it happens. Tell us about badge rules, escorts or dock hours when you book so the visit fits your security process.

There is no flat rate. Drive count has the biggest effect, followed by how often you need service and how far your site is from our Sacramento base. Serial-level certificates take more preparation than a basic certificate.

Businesses on a regular shredding cycle often get better per-visit pricing than a single appointment.

Chevron down

A Certificate of Destruction, issued before the crew leaves your site. Service tiers range from a basic certificate up to DOD 5220.22-M and NIST 800-88 documentation that lists the make, model, method and serial number of each drive. Pick the level your auditors expect when you book.

Minimums depend on your location and whether the visit fits a route we already run. Share your drive count and address and we'll confirm.

The truck travels throughout California and to the Reno and Sparks area of Nevada, and every visit is run by our own crew.
