Mobile Hard Drive Shredding for Charlotte Businesses
STS Electronic Recycling dispatches a certified mobile shredding unit to your Charlotte address, where technicians perform NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 compliant destruction while IT or compliance staff witnesses each drive shredded.

Why Does Chain of Custody Matter for Charlotte Organizations?
When Charlotte IT teams need zero transport risk for sensitive media, on-site mobile shredding closes the custody gap entirely. Traditional off-site services create a transport interval where security depends on logistics controls alone. Our technicians execute NIST-certified destruction at your Charlotte address, and no hard drive leaves in a recoverable state.
Per R2v3:2020 certification requirements, all downstream materials must be tracked through final processing at certified smelters. STS provides complete chain-of-custody documentation from your premises through final disposal, satisfying SOX Section 404, HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312, GLBA, and NIST SP 800-171 compliance requirements.
