Secure IT Disposal & Data Destruction for Cambridge, Massachusetts
Data Destruction & Hard Drive Shredding in Cambridge, MA
When a Cambridge business, lab, or university retires computers, servers, or storage, the equipment is the easy part. The data is the risk. Data Recycling of New England gives IT and facilities teams a secure, documented way to destroy that data and recycle the retired electronics. Every job runs on a signed chain of custody, ends with a Certificate of Destruction, and can include serialized reporting for your records. We shred hard drives and SSDs on-site or off-site to NIST 800-88 standards, and we recycle everything else responsibly through R2-certified downstream partners.
Whether you are refreshing a fleet of laptops, decommissioning servers, or clearing out a lab, we schedule around your operation and handle the packing and pickup. Our buy-back program recovers value on reusable gear to help offset the cost of the project.

FAQ – Cambridge MA Services
Do you provide secure data destruction for Cambridge businesses and labs?
Yes. We destroy data on hard drives, SSDs, and other media for Cambridge offices, research labs, hospitals, and universities, on-site or off-site, following NIST 800-88. You receive a Certificate of Destruction, with optional serial number capture for compliance.
Do you pick up and recycle servers and networking equipment?
Yes. We pick up and recycle servers, switches, and other networking equipment, and we securely destroy the data-bearing drives inside. We ask that equipment be unracked and staged for pickup, since we handle collection and disposal rather than on-site teardown.
What documentation do we get for compliance and audits?
A signed chain of custody at pickup and a Certificate of Destruction when the work is done. We also offer serialized reporting and itemized asset reports so your team can reconcile the project against your own inventory.
How do you handle drives with regulated data like HIPAA or PCI?
Data-bearing devices are tracked from pickup, kept secure in transit and at our facility, and destroyed to NIST 800-88 standards. Our process supports HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and the Massachusetts data protection rule (201 CMR 17.00).
Do you shred on-site, or only at your facility?
Both. Our mobile shredder can destroy drives at your Cambridge location so you can witness it, or we securely transport them for off-site shredding, which usually costs less and can be bundled with your electronics pickup.
