🔐 Our Data Destruction Policy

At T.R.S. Recycling, your data security is our top priority. We follow strict, industry-recognized protocols to permanently and irreversibly destroy all data-bearing devices — so your information never ends up in the wrong hands.
We proudly adhere to the NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 “Clear and Destroy” standard.

🚛 1. On-Site or Off-Site Destruction — Your Choice

We offer flexible destruction options based on your needs:

• On-site destruction – We come to you and destroy your data-bearing devices at your location, giving you full transparency and peace of mind.

• Off-site destruction – Prefer a hands-off approach? We’ll securely collect your devices and destroy them at our secure facility.

🧼 2. Certified Software Wiping

We use KillDisk Pro, a trusted NIST-compliant tool, to wipe all hard drives and SSDs.

• ✅ Multi-pass overwriting removes all recoverable data

• ✅ Complies with NIST 3-pass overwrite standards

• ✅ Secure, efficient, and fully trackable

🔨 3. Physical Destruction

After wiping, devices are physically destroyed to ensure zero chance of data recovery.

• 🛠️ Techniques include drilling, crushing, or dismantling

• 📱 Embedded storage in mobile devices is also removed and destroyed when applicable

📄 4. Certificate of Destruction

You’ll receive an official Certificate of Destruction with each job, which includes:

• 📦 Device type and serial number

• 🔁 Wiping method used

• 🔧 Destruction technique (e.g., 2-hole drill, shred)

• 📅 Date of service

• 📸 Photos of destroyed devices (available upon request)

✅ Compliance

We meet or exceed standards set by:

• NIST 800-88 Rev. 1

• IRS Publication 1075 (data disposal requirements)

• U.S. Department of Homeland Security best practices
