IT Asset Disposition, Data Center Decommissioning & Secure Data Destruction
From individual IT assets to entire server rooms and data centers, DataShredder manages the complete retirement of corporate technology — including equipment removal, inventory, secure transportation, data destruction, asset recovery, resale, recycling and final documentation.
Speak with us now: (508) 906-6080Who we are now
DataShredder is not simply an electronics recycler.
We are a secure technology retirement partner. When a company closes an office, consolidates a data center, migrates to the cloud or refreshes a fleet of machines, someone has to unrack it, account for it, move it safely, destroy the data on it, recover whatever value is left and recycle the rest — then prove all of it happened.
That is the whole project, and it is what we do. Our traditional shredding and recycling services continue exactly as before, underneath a team that can now handle considerably larger work.

What we can put in writing
We publish only what we can stand behind. If a requirement is not listed here, ask us and we will tell you plainly whether we meet it.
NAID AAA Certified
Our destruction operation is NAID AAA Certified — the information destruction industry's audited standard.
Veteran-founded, family-run since 2005
Founded with a single truck and one employee, DataShredder remains family-run and locally operated in Framingham, MA.
Chain of custody
Equipment is tracked from the point of pickup through destruction or recycling, with documentation to match.
Secure transportation
Assets are moved in our own vehicles by our own personnel — not handed to a third-party freight broker.
Serialized inventory & reporting
Where a project requires it, assets are captured by make, model and serial number and reported back to you.
Certificates of destruction & recycling
Final documentation is issued for the destruction and responsible recycling performed on your project.
Chosen after a security audit
Harvard University selected DataShredder to shred their hard drives and media after a strict security audit.
Environmental responsibility
End-of-life electronics are processed through responsible recycling channels rather than landfill.
