Serial Number Tracking
Every hard drive is tracked by serial number and documented on your Certificate of Destruction for complete audit trails.
Why Physical Hard Drive Shredding Is Essential
Simply deleting files or formatting a hard drive does not destroy your data. Sophisticated data recovery tools can retrieve information from drives that have been wiped, reformatted, or even degaussed. The only way to guarantee that data on a hard drive is permanently and irreversibly destroyed is through physical shredding — mechanically reducing the drive into small metal fragments.
New Jersey Shredding uses industrial hard drive shredders that crush and shear drives into pieces no larger than two inches. This level of destruction meets and exceeds the requirements of DoD 5220.22-M (Department of Defense standard for media sanitization) and NIST 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization. For organizations subject to HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, or SOX regulations, physical hard drive shredding is the most defensible method of data destruction.
Whether you have a single laptop hard drive or thousands of enterprise server drives, our certified team handles the entire process with a documented chain of custody from pickup to destruction. Every hard drive is tracked by serial number, and you receive a detailed Certificate of Destruction listing each drive destroyed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is wiping a hard drive enough to protect my data?
No. Software-based wiping can be bypassed with advanced recovery tools. Physical shredding is the only method that guarantees data cannot be recovered. NIST 800-88 recommends physical destruction as the most secure sanitization method for drives containing sensitive data.
Do you track hard drives by serial number?
Yes. Every hard drive we destroy is logged by serial number before shredding. Your Certificate of Destruction includes a complete listing of all serial numbers, providing the detailed audit trail required by DoD, HIPAA, and other regulatory frameworks.
Can you shred hard drives onsite at my New Jersey location?
Yes. We offer both onsite hard drive shredding (at your location) and secure pickup with destruction at our facility. Many clients prefer onsite service for the added security of witnessing the destruction. Call (201) 371-5900 to discuss your needs.
