Secure Destruction Services

As part of our recycling process, we separate all hard drives from the electronics and physically destroy them with a shredding method. CEAR does not resell or reuse any data containing devices. Whether a computer comes from a fortune 500 company or the landfill, all hard drives are completely destroyed. By shredding the hard drives, any data contained on the device is completely non-recoverable and complies with data privacy acts such as, FACTA and HIPPA.

We also offer our secure destruction services for materials such as floppy disks, tapes, x-ray film, office documents, any telecommunication device including radios, CBs, pagers, cell phones, POS systems and any other sensitive data storage device.

Our standard secure destruction service includes:

• When the items arrive to CEAR, our screened destruction employees will weigh all the sealed boxes of materials for destruction as a total weight.
• The materials are then shred under surveillance video.
• The shredding is recorded with surveillance cameras that can be viewed by customer online in real-time *(a password will be issued prior to shredding, please request this from a CEAR representative at time of appointment scheduling) DVD recordings of the live destruction are also available for a fee.
• Live viewing is also available at our facility.
• Certificate of Destruction is then sent. The Destruction Certificate will include, the total weight of materials destroyed, time duration of destruction and certified destruction employee’s signature.
• CEAR can also provide custom reporting for each customer’s specific needs such as S/N, Date Code, etc. Let us know what you need and we can customize reporting

All shredded material is then 100% recycled.

CEAR is a member of the National Association for Information Destruction, Inc. (NAID).

*For new customers, we encourage you to view the first shredding live at our facility.
