Digital & Data Destruction
Can hard drives be shredded?
Absolutely. Physical hard drive destruction is the most reliable way to make data unrecoverable. Unlike basic wiping or degaussing, which can leave traces behind, it leaves nothing to read.
We have destroyed roughly 10,000 hard drives, and our largest single job was about 300.
We provide secure data destruction services for:
- Hard drives and SSDs
- USB drives
- Backup tapes
- Discs
This process protects your business from data breaches, identity theft, and regulatory noncompliance. It is especially important for industries that handle highly sensitive information such as healthcare, finance, government, and legal sectors.
Drives are shredded onsite as standard. Some jobs go to our Maple Ridge shop. Every destruction is carried out with strict security protocols, and every job gets a Certificate of Destruction as proof of compliance.
Jobs have a $100 to $150 minimum, and larger batches drop to about $6 a drive.

Why Document Shredding Matters in Vancouver
What happens if you don't shred sensitive documents?
If sensitive information is leaked, even by accident, the consequences can be severe:
- Regulatory fines under BC's Personal Information Protection Act
- Loss of professional licences
- Damage to your reputation in Vancouver's competitive business landscape
- Legal liability for data breaches affecting customers
And it’s not just paper. Hard drives, USBs, and backup tapes can hold years of client and business data. Simply deleting files won’t erase them. They can often be recovered.
Vancouver's Unique Document Disposal Challenges
From the high-rise towers of Coal Harbour to the industrial spaces of Mount Pleasant, Vancouver’s businesses operate in varied environments: heritage buildings in Gastown, modern offices in Yaletown, and tech hubs in False Creek.
This diversity means one-size-fits-all shredding won’t cut it.
INFOshred offers secure document destruction services built for Metro Vancouver’s unique needs, helping you stay compliant wherever you are.
Eco-Friendly Shredding and Document Recycling in Vancouver
Is shredded paper recyclable?
Yes, and at INFOshred, we make sure it is. After secure shredding, all paper is sent for recycling.
Document Waste Management
We help businesses meet sustainability goals by recycling their shredded paper, which is particularly important in environmentally conscious Vancouver.
Cardboard and Binder Removal
Even cardboard can carry sensitive shipping details. On clear-outs, we can remove cardboard and binders as an extra.
What's the best way to store documents before shredding?
We provide locked, secure collection bins and consoles for your office, available in various sizes, from 32 gallon bins to 95 gallon bins for high-volume use.
Document Purge Services
When it is time to reduce your file storage while staying fully compliant with privacy and security regulations, we make the entire process simple and secure.
We provide secure collection bins based on the amount of storage you need. These bins are placed at your location, making it easy for your team to safely deposit documents that are no longer needed. Once the bins are ready, the truck comes to your address and shreds them there.
Our service includes:
- Safely destroying files that are eligible for disposal
- Providing a Certificate of Destruction for your compliance records
This approach helps you clear space, maintain full control over sensitive information, and stay compliant with industry regulations. It is ideal for offices, legal firms, healthcare facilities, and financial institutions that need secure and reliable document disposal.
Our biggest single purge was about 2,500 boxes, from a business that was closing down.
