Secure Shredding Without a Home Shredder

Small home shredders are slow, overheat easily and often leave readable strips of information. ElectroCycle provides secure options for household cleanouts, accumulated records and smaller appointment-based drop-offs.

Choose the service that fits your volume, location and scheduling needs. Mobile on-site shredding may be available for qualifying residential requests, while drop-off service is available by appointment at our Farmington Hills facility.

Privacy and Secure Disposal

Household documents can contain the same sensitive identifiers protected in business records. Secure destruction reduces the chance that readable information will be recovered from trash or recycling.

Identity and Financial Information

FACTA requires covered businesses to take reasonable measures when disposing of consumer information. Residents also benefit from securely destroying documents containing Social Security numbers, account details and credit information.
