Optical Media Shredding
At PC Survivors, we help businesses of all scales and in a variety of highly regulated industries as well as government agencies and military entities dispose of their data securely. While this process is most commonly associated with the wiping and physical destruction of electronic devices like hard drives – shredding forms optical media like CD-Rs and DVD-Rs is of equal importance. Unlike hard drives which rely on their magnetic charge to retain data, optical media is laser etched and can retain data for significantly longer periods of time. Our ability to safely and effectively dispose of these materials with unbeatable service and value has helped position us as the go-to optical media shredding company in Massachusetts, throughout New England and across the country.
We understand that what works for one client may not for another. You will consult directly with us so we can design and implement a custom plan for data destruction that reflects your unique goals. You can choose to have your optical media hauled away and disposed of at our facility or we can take care of the entire process on-site while you supervise. Materials are accounted for during every step of the process. We transport using GPS enabled trucks and keep detailed documentation to create a viable legal chain of custody.
When you choose PC Survivors as your optical media shredding company, you can be confident your operation is in compliance with the guidelines set forth by GDPR, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley and all other major national and international standards. We are independently audited every year to ensure our practices are current.
At PC Survivors, we process your optical media with industrial, high-security OMDD shredders. These devices shred up to 2,500 discs per hour into 43/50 x 157/1000 pieces (the size recommended by the NSA and National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual for classified information).

E-Waste Recycling
In the US, over 2.9 million tons of electronics are disposed of each year with only 20% ending up being recycled according to the EPA. Unfortunately, the other 80% usually ends up in landfills. More than 300 million computers and 2 billion smartphones were manufactured in 2014 but the rare and precious metals necessary to manufacture these devices is in limited supply. We help companies manage e-scrap responsibly and preserve the environment while enhancing worker safety, the economy and their bottom lines.
