No drive leaves your site before destruction is complete.

Grand Rapids Mobile Shredding FAQ
Everything you need to know about witnessed on-site digital media destruction, compliance documentation, and hard drive shredding in West Michigan.
What is mobile hard drive shredding?
Mobile shredding uses a certified destruction unit that travels to your Kent County or West Michigan premises and physically shreds hard drives on-site — eliminating the chain-of-custody gap that occurs when drives are transported before destruction. All media is shredded to 1/4 inch particles meeting NSA/CSS EPL standards, with witnessed destruction and same-day Certificate of Destruction available.
Do you perform mobile shredding at our business in Grand Rapids?
Yes — STS deploys mobile shredding units across Grand Rapids and throughout Kent, Ottawa, and Allegan counties. When your organization needs witnessed hard drive destruction without off-site transport risk, STS serves businesses, healthcare facilities, schools, and government agencies. Call (616) 333-0419 to confirm same-week availability.
What's the difference between mobile shredding and in-facility destruction?
Mobile shredding eliminates off-site transport before destruction — drives never leave your premises intact. In-facility destruction occurs at our 600,000 sq ft processing facility. On-site shredding is ideal for organizations requiring witnessed destruction, strict chain-of-custody requirements, or environments where transporting unshredded media creates compliance risk.
What does a Certificate of Destruction include?
STS Certificates of Destruction are serial-number-specific — not batch certificates. Each CoD includes device identifiers, destruction method, date and time, technician credentials, and your facility location. Documentation is formatted for HIPAA, NIST, SOX, FERPA, and GLBA compliance, issued on the day of your shredding event.
Who in Grand Rapids needs mobile shredding services?
Mobile shredding serves healthcare systems managing PHI under HIPAA, manufacturers with proprietary IT data, financial institutions subject to GLBA, and educational institutions under FERPA.
