Our Document Shredding Services in Evanston

We use industrial strength shredders to quickly and thoroughly destroy your documents. Our cross-cut shredding techniques create a smaller shred that is impossible to reconstruct. We also monitor the chain of custody throughout handling and include a copy for your records on the certificate of destruction. 

We offer mobile, offsite, and drop off shredding services to fit the size and frequency of your shredding needs. Mobile shredding comes to your location to complete your shredding onsite. Offsite shredding picks and transports your documents to a shredding facility. 

Record Nations can also assist you with: 

  • Scheduling shredding services on an ongoing basis
  • Shredding your documents after scanning
  • Managing and disposing of inactive or past-retention documents
  • Cleaning and disposing of non-critical documents in preparation for scanning or offsite storage

Our Hard Drive Shredding and Degaussing Services

Hard drives are targeted by thieves and hackers because they are often not disposed of properly, leaving important information at risk. Professional hard drive destruction ensures that your data will be properly destroyed and unrecoverable. Here is a list of services we offer to destroy electronic media:

  • Hard Drive Shredding: This method completely destroys your devices by breaking them down into component parts, shredding the pieces, and recycling the remains. It makes your data irretrievable because your device will no longer exist. 
  • Hard Drive Degaussing: This method uses high-powered magnets to scramble the data stored within your hard drives. It makes it very difficult for your data to be recovered. 
  • Hard Drive Crushing: This method punches holes into your hard drives and crushes them. Your drives will be shattered into pieces and your data will be destroyed.
