Our Electronics Destruction Services
On-Site Destruction Services
If you would like to witness your electronics being destroyed, Shred Nations can find you a service provider who will come to your location to destroy your devices while you watch. Note that their shredding trucks can’t handle all devices so confirm with your service provider what they accept.
Off-Site Destruction Services
If your service provider can’t destroy all of your devices on-site or you don’t need to witness the destruction, off-site destruction is when your service provider will pick your devices up and destroy them at their secure destruction and recycling facility.
Ship N Shred
If you only have a couple of electronics to destroy, you can mail them to one of our secure service providers for their destruction. All you have to do is box your devices up, schedule a pickup through FedEx, and our service providers will take care of the rest.

Electronics Destruction and Recycling Cost
The price of your electronics destruction and recycling project will depend on what devices you have, how many, the method you choose, your location, and other factors. Once you contact us with the details of your project, our partners can provide you with more accurate price quotes for your specific project.
The quote on an electronics destruction and recycling project is determined by several factors:
-Volume of E-Waste: The amount of e-waste being processed impacts the cost. Larger volumes may lead to potentially lower per-unit costs.
-Type of Devices: Different electronics contain varying amounts of precious metals, which can affect recycling costs.
-Location: The cost of collecting and transporting e-waste to your service provider’s facility affects overall pricing.
-Data Security Measures: Ensuring proper data destruction also adds to the cost of electronics recycling services.

Benefits of Electronics Destruction Services
Environmental Protection
Destroying and recycling electronics properly prevents toxic materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium from contaminating soil and water sources. This helps reduce pollution and protects ecosystems.
Data Security
Our certified electronics destruction providers ensure complete data destruction, protecting sensitive personal and business data from potential misuse.
Compliance With Regulations
There are various state and federal laws governing the disposal of electronic waste, such as the RCRA. Using proper recycling services helps businesses and individuals comply with these regulations. In addition, you’ll comply with data privacy laws, such as HIPAA with their proper disposal.
Resource Conservation
Recycling electronics allows valuable materials like gold, silver, copper, and rare earth metals to be recovered and reused. This reduces the need for raw material extraction and conserves natural resources.
