Witnessed On-Site Hard Drive & Media Shredding in Arlington
When organizations across Tarrant County need witnessed hard drive destruction, STS deploys directly to your facility — from corporate campuses along I-20 and I-30 to healthcare campuses and government offices near the NRC Region IV HQ. Destruction occurs in your presence, eliminating chain-of-custody gaps before media leaves your building.
Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, physical destruction via shredding is the approved sanitization method for media that cannot be cryptographically erased. Our industrial shredder reduces hard drives, SSDs, tapes, flash drives, and optical media to particles rendering data irrecoverable — meeting federal standards in 40 CFR Part 261.
Hard Drive Shredding
HDD and SSD physical destruction to NSA/CSS EPL-listed particle size specifications for classified and sensitive media
Magnetic Media Destruction
Backup tapes, LTO cartridges, and magnetic storage rendered irrecoverable on-site at your facility
Flash & Optical Media
USB drives, SD cards, CDs, DVDs, and flash-based storage physically destroyed with witnessed verification
Mobile Phones & Tablets
On-site device destruction for smartphones, tablets, and handheld devices containing sensitive corporate or patient data
NIST-Compliant Certificate of Destruction Documentation
Every mobile shredding event generates a serial-number-specific Certificate of Destruction (CoD) issued the same day. This documentation satisfies audit requirements under HIPAA, FERPA, FACTA Disposal Rule, SOX Section 404, and GLBA Safeguards Rule — critical for the region's healthcare and financial sectors including Alcon Laboratories (~3,500 DFW employees) and GM Financial Corporate HQ (1,500+ employees).
According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million — proper digital media sanitization prevents exposure from improperly disposed hardware. A witnessed CoD event is the most cost-effective control eliminating residual data risk from decommissioned devices across your device fleet.

Arlington Mobile Shredding FAQ
Everything you need to know about STS mobile shredding services, compliance standards, and on-site destruction logistics for Tarrant County businesses.
What is mobile shredding and how does it differ from facility-based destruction?
Mobile shredding deploys an industrial shredder directly to your location. Destruction is performed on your premises — witnessed by your staff — eliminating the security risk of transporting unshredded media off-site. You receive a same-day Certificate of Destruction before the crew departs, satisfying NIST 800-88, HIPAA, and FERPA chain-of-custody requirements without media ever leaving your control.
What types of media can STS shred on-site in Arlington?
Our on-site secure data sanitization service processes hard disk drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD), magnetic tape cartridges (LTO, DAT, DLT), USB flash drives, SD cards, optical media (CD/DVD/Blu-ray), smartphones, tablets, and legacy magnetic media for healthcare systems, government agencies, and corporate campuses across the DFW metro.

Yes. STS Electronic Recycling serves the NRC Region IV (Arlington HQ), City of Arlington (~4,300 employees), and NCTCOG at 616 Six Flags Drive. Destruction standards meet NSA/CSS EPL specifications for sensitive government media.
