Think tossing old bank statements or credit card bills in the trash is harmless? Think again! Identity theft is a growing concern in today’s digital age, and throwing away sensitive documents without proper disposal puts your personal information at risk.
According to The Identity Theft Research Center (ITRC) Annual Data Breach Report, 2023 had a record-high number of data compromises in the U.S. in a single year. A staggering 72% increase from the previous record set in 2021, with at least 353 million individuals impacted. This alarming trend highlights the importance of safeguarding your personal information, not just online but also through physical document disposal. Scavengers can easily sift through bins, potentially stealing documents containing your name, address, Social Security number, and other sensitive data. This stolen information can then be used to open fraudulent accounts, rack up debt in your name, or even damage your credit score.
Here in Michigan, ElectroCycle offers a secure solution to protect your privacy: onsite document shredding.
Why Onsite Shredding Matters?
Onsite shredding eliminates the risk of information theft entirely. Our secure shredding trucks come directly to your location, a business, or a residence in Michigan. Our professional technicians witness the entire destruction process, ensuring your documents are shredded into confetti-sized particles, rendering any personal information unreadable and un-reconstructable. This complete security provides the ultimate peace of mind.
Here at ElectroCycle, we understand the importance of safeguarding sensitive information. We’ve been a trusted shredding partner for Michigan businesses and residents since 2011. ElectroCycle holds the prestigious NAID AAA Certification, demonstrating our commitment to adhering to the strictest data destruction standards set by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID). This certification signifies that our processes have been rigorously audited and meet the highest industry benchmarks for secure document destruction.
About ElectroCycle:
Owner and operator Nicholas Wehrmeister started the company in 2011, recycling computer equipment out of his garage. Electronic recycling pickups were done in his family SUV.

Today, ElectroCycle has a fleet of 4 vehicles and 6500 sq ft of warehouse space. Nicholas Wehrmeister is the owner and operator of ElectroCycle. He has a strong understanding of data security and best practices for electronic waste shredding.
