How On-Site Shredding Works
Many clients prefer or require having their IT assets destroyed on-site as opposed to sending them to our facility for destruction. ERI supports this need through a national fleet of state-of-the-art electronic destruction vehicles.
Instead of sending IT assets to ERI’s facility, clients can request and schedule one of our secure electronic destruction vehicles to arrive at their location. These vehicles are equipped to handle the destruction of hard drives, cell phones, computers, tapes, CDs, and other data-bearing equipment.
To support secure collection, ERI provides clients with lockable, steel-plated data bins to collect and store any assets awaiting destruction. Once our team arrives, devices are collected, counted, and their serial numbers recorded to ensure full traceability. Each device is then destroyed on-site inside the mobile shredding unit.
Since the assets are destroyed inside the vehicle, clients can have keep a watchful eye on their assets throughout the process to ensure the destruction is done properly. After shredding is complete, ERI provides official certificates of destruction for every serialized device. Shredded material is them transported to an ERI processing facility, where recyclable components such as aluminum, glass, and metals are responsibly extracted.
Witnessed Security
Security You Can Trust
Destroy data-bearing devices at your site.
Many organizations worry sensitive data could be compromised while IT assets are transported for destruction. On-site shredding removes that risk because destruction happens at your location, so no data-bearing devices leave the premises intact.
Built to meet strict federal expectations.
ERI’s shredding process meets or exceeds U.S. federal standards for data destruction, including guidance associated with the Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Our staff also undergoes comprehensive training and background checks to support consistent security and professionalism.

Erase with Confidence
On-Site Data Erasure Services
Options beyond physical shredding.
In addition to physical destruction, ERI offers on-site data erasure solutions. Clients can choose on-site sanitization so devices can be reused internally or prepared for resale, while remaining in the client’s possession after erasure.
Support for remote employees.
For distributed teams, ERI can provide a bootable USB drive that enables a remote employee to wipe their drive independently. The USB automatically generates a detailed report identifying each drive erased. After the report is retrieved, ERI can provide a certificate of data destruction to the client.
