Services

Destruction built for archives — and for everyday paper.

Our niche is analog film media that most mobile shred trucks are not set up to finish: microfilm, microfiche, and aperture cards. Paper is destroyed and fully recycled. CDs, DVDs, and USB flash drives are accepted. Computers, hard drives, SSDs, and phones are not.

Microfilm

16mm and 35mm roll film from records programs, newspapers, and conversion vendors. Destroyed so frames cannot be read or duplicated.

Microfiche

Jackets and fiche sheets from personnel, patient, student, and financial files that have passed retention.

Aperture cards

Engineering and facilities card decks with film chips of drawings. A common leftover after CAD conversion projects.

Paper documents

Office files, tax records, HR and client paper. After destruction, material enters a full recycling stream for environmental protection.

CDs, DVDs and USB drives

Optical discs and flash drives from closed projects. We do not accept SSDs, spinning hard drives, phones, or whole computers.

Purge or scheduled

One-time vault cleanouts or a standing pickup for offices that keep generating paper and leftover film.

How a job runs

Quote

Tell us formats (film, fiche, cards, paper, discs, USBs), approximate volume, and city.

Intake

Material is received with a simple chain-of-custody note.

Destruction

Film formats and paper are destroyed on the correct process. Paper goes to recycling.

Certificate

A Certificate of Destruction is issued for your records or compliance file.

What we will not take

Hard disk drives, solid-state drives, phones, tablets, laptops, or other IT hardware. If a mixed pallet includes devices we cannot take, we will separate and return them rather than process them.

Questions

Why film and cards instead of hard drives?

Microfilm, fiche, and aperture cards are still sitting in Mid-Atlantic vaults after scanning projects. Few local shredders treat them as a specialty. IT hardware is a different machine class, so we leave it to shops built for that work.

Is the paper really recycled?

Yes. After destruction, paper fiber is sent into a full recycling stream rather than a landfill. That is part of the standard paper workflow, not an add-on.

Can film and paper ride on the same job?

Yes. Most archive cleanouts are mixed. List both on the quote form.

Do you publish prices?

No. Volume, format mix, and location change the number. Use Request a Quote.
