Hard Drive Shredding in Monroe, WA

Deleting files does not wipe an old drive. A computer in the closet can still hold tax files, photos, and passwords.

What we can take

• Hard drives and solid-state drives
• USB drives
• CDs and DVDs
• Backup tapes

Ask before you bring a phone or anything with a loose battery. Batteries stay out unless we say a device can stay intact. X-rays stay out.

Many paper-only drop-off bins will not take drives or discs. That is why these come to the counter, separate from the paper.

What to do before you leave home

Copy anything you still need. Photos, tax PDFs, and password lists do not come back. We do not keep a copy of what is on the drive.

Take the drive out of the computer if you can. A loose internal drive, a USB stick, or a stack of discs is enough. If the drive is still screwed into a laptop and you are not sure how to remove it, call first.

What happens next

This is a drop-off. We do not cut the drive at the counter while you wait. Pacific Northwest Shredding picks up what we have collected, once a month, and destroys it. They are NAID AAA certified for information destruction. The Mail Station is the drop-off.

Do not assume a certificate comes with every drive. If you need proof for your own records, ask before you leave the device with us.

Paper has its own trip. See where to shred documents in Monroe and paper shredding near me.
