We have a tape shredding facility in Capitol Heights, Maryland where we operate a 6,600 pound, 4-shaft shredder which can shred approximately 1000 lbs. of metal and plastic per hour. We can rapidly and securely destroy any quantity of tapes and media for our nationwide customers.
Our tape shredder has three screen sizes (10 mm, 20 mm and 40 mm) to control the particle output size. The tape shredding process not only cuts and shreds the metal and plastic but by forcing it through the cutters and screens, it also compresses and compacts the tape rendering it completely unrecoverable.Our tape shredding process has been certified by an independent third party using classified recovery methods. No data was recoverable from media shredded with our 20 mm screen. A full copy of that report is available upon request. All residual particles are recycled in full compliance with all local, state and federal regulations and in accordance with our no landfill policy.
Access to our tape shredding facility is controlled and monitored including the use of CCTV and alarms. Our facility complies with most SCIF regulations. Premises can be completely locked down depending on our client’s requirements. Tape shredding can be overseen by our customers, recorded to DVD, monitored remotely via dedicated IP address or overseen and verified by personnel with a secret-level security clearance. We also offer on-site tape destruction and destruction of classified tapes.
All of our employees undergo a background check, sign a confidentiality agreement and are thoroughly trained in security procedures. We are a GSA contract holder – contracts # GS-25F0019T and GS10F0134V. We are active members of NAID and have numerous references from a variety of companies and agencies. We are certified by the Defense Logistics Information Service to store and transport military critical technical data - #0051382.
Our nationally recognized Certificates of Destruction will suffice for all compliance purposes.
