Advanced Shredding Technology
Equipped with two shredders
For secure on-site hard drive shredding, Data Recycling of New England operates two high-performance shredders mounted on our mobile shredding truck. Our AMS 300HD hard drive shredder destroys traditional HDDs (hard disk drives) into 1.5-inch pieces with ability to shred up to 500 hard drives per hour, while our specialized SSD shredder reduces solid-state drives to ultra-small 0.16 x 0.6-inch particles. Both units are powered by a 10,000-watt generator and include a 4G-connected camera and tablet, allowing customers to monitor the shredding process conveniently from indoors.
Receive a Certificate of Destruction On-Site
Mobile Printing and Scanning on truck
We understand the importance of accurate reporting for on-site hard drive shredding. That’s why we generate and print a detailed report with serial numbers of the shredded drives while still at your facility, ensuring immediate documentation for your records.
Preparing for On-Site Hard Drive Shredding
Simple Steps to Prepare for On-Site Hard Drive Shredding
To ensure a smooth and efficient shredding process, follow these simple steps before our arrival:
- Gather Your Hard Drives – Provide an accurate count and remove them from computers, including any attached caddies.
- Plan for Additional Services – If you need assistance with removal, contact us in advance so we can discuss how we can help.
- Confirm Availability – Let us know if you’d like to witness the shredding. While our shredder processes up to 500 hard drives per hour, scanning and preparation may take extra time.
Proper preparation helps us securely and efficiently destroy your data while minimizing downtime at your facility.

FAQ: Your On-Site Hard Drive Shredding Questions Answered
What types of data-bearing media can you shred on-site?
Our mobile shredding unit is equipped with advanced, dedicated shredders for both Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and Solid State Drives (SSDs), ensuring complete physical destruction for all standard computer and server hard drives. If you have other specific media (e.g., magnetic tapes, CDs/DVDs), please inquire during scheduling.
How long does an on-site hard drive shredding service take?
The duration of your on-site shredding service depends on the volume of drives and any additional services requested. Our AMS 300HD shredder can process up to 500 HDDs per hour, with our specialized SSD shredder operating at comparable speeds. However for those that need a Certificate of Destruction extra time is required for scanning and inputing serial numbers. Our team works efficiently to minimize your downtime.

Absolutely. Our on-site hard drive shredding service is designed for complete transparency. You or your designated representative are welcome to witness the entire shredding process from setup to completion, providing you with immediate assurance and peace of mind.
What documentation do we receive after the on-site shredding is complete?
Immediately upon completion of the shredding process at your location, we provide a comprehensive Certificate of Destruction. This certificate includes critical details such as the date and method of destruction, and a detailed list of all scanned hard drive serial numbers, crucial for your compliance records.
Is your mobile shredding unit noisy, and does it require external power?
Our 26-foot box truck is equipped with advanced sound-proofing technology to significantly reduce operational noise. While our powerful 10,000-watt generator ensures the shredding operation is fully self-sufficient, requiring no external power hookups from your facility. We also offer ear protection for any on-site witnesses for added comfort.
How should we prepare our hard drives for on-site shredding?
To ensure a smooth and efficient process, please gather your hard drives and provide an accurate count. Drives should be removed from computers or servers, including any attached caddies.
