FileBank provides certified destruction for hard drives, tapes and other data-bearing assets, so the information on them can never be recovered. Every job follows a documented chain of custody from collection to destruction. We serve businesses, schools, municipalities and healthcare providers up and down the East Coast.

Deleting files or reformatting a drive doesn’t always remove the data. Information can often be recovered from old computers, servers, copiers and backup tapes long after they’re retired. Physical destruction makes sure sensitive data is gone for good.
Tell us what you need destroyed and how much.
We collect your media with a documented chain of custody.
Smaller jobs are shredded and drilled at our facility so the data can’t be recovered. We shred larger jobs at scale and send them to our trusted recycling partner.
You receive a certificate of destruction for every job. Serialized certificates that list each device’s serial number are available for an added fee.
All destroyed materials are recycled through a certified electronics recycler, so nothing ends up in a landfill.
Laws like HIPAA and FERPA require organizations to protect sensitive information through the moment it’s destroyed. FileBank’s media destruction follows NIST SP 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization and is designed to meet and exceed legal and regulatory requirements, protecting you from liability. Advanced chain-of-custody protocols show who handled your devices and when, so your sensitive data is handled with unparalleled care and accountability.
For 40 years, FileBank has managed the lifecycle of records for government, education, healthcare and corporate organizations. In addition to hardware destruction, our services include shredding paper records on-site and off-site and helping you build retention plans for stored physical and digital records, deciding what’s ready for destruction with Records Retention Services. Every strategy is tailored to your organization’s needs and scales with you. FileBank is a GSA Schedule contractor and COSTARS supplier.
Tell us what you need destroyed, and we’ll recommend the right approach.
No. FileBank only destroys hardware and data-bearing media. We don’t store, refurbish or resell devices.
NIST SP 800-88 is the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s guideline for media sanitization. It describes how to clear, purge or destroy data on storage devices so it can’t be recovered, and it’s widely used to show that data was disposed of properly.
Cost depends on the type and quantity of media. A transportation surcharge may apply for smaller pick-ups. Contact us for a free quote.
