What we do
Three services, one pipeline — and you can watch every asset move through it.
Secure Data Destruction
Every drive is wiped with verification, aligned to NAID AAA / i-SIGMA specifications — free of charge. Need media gone for good? Physical destruction is from $15/drive on request. Every job closes with a signed Certificate of Destruction.
Full Asset Tracing
Every serial number is tracked through each stage: Received → Verified → Wiped → Destroyed or Refurbished → Resold or Recycled. You get the Certificate of Destruction, Chain of Custody, and a per-batch Trace Report showing exactly where everything went.
Reuse-First Refurbishment
Working gear is tested, securely wiped, refurbished, and resold instead of scrapped. That resale revenue is exactly what funds your free pickup, wipes, and documentation — and it keeps usable equipment out of the landfill.
How it works
Request a kit or pickup
Request a $39 mail-in drive kit with prepaid 2-way shipping — we ship those anywhere in the U.S., and the kit is free when your shipment contains at least 2 TB of HDD or 500 GB of SSD/NVMe in working condition — or schedule a free bulk on-site pickup in select regions.
We collect and log custody
Every asset is serialized at intake and chain-of-custody documentation starts immediately. From that moment, each item is visible in your trace.
We wipe, destroy, or refurbish
Drives are wiped with verification, aligned to NAID AAA / i-SIGMA specifications — or physically destroyed from $15/drive on request. Working gear is refurbished. Every step is traced.
You get the paper trail
Your Trace Report, Certificate of Destruction, and Chain of Custody arrive when the batch closes — plus any resale value credited back to you.
How can this be free?
Simple: we're a refurbisher as much as an ITAD provider. When your retired equipment still has life in it, we test it, wipe it, refurbish it, and resell it. The recovered value from resale offsets the cost of the service — that's what keeps standard pickup, data wipes, and chain-of-custody documentation free.
The main thing you pay for is physical destruction: when you require a drive shredded or crushed rather than wiped and reused, that starts at $15/drive, because a destroyed drive has no resale value to fund the work. Mail-in shipping is a flat $39 kit — waived when the shipment carries enough resale value to cover it.
No catch, no clawbacks — just a business model where your old hardware pays for its own secure retirement.

The Trace difference
