​-Services-

💣 Most Popular: DegaussingFor Tapes, Data Media & Hard Drives – Available On-Site & Off-Site

We offer certified degaussing services using high-powered, industry-grade equipment that permanently disables any data-bearing device. Once degaussed, the media is unusable and unrecoverable, meeting strict compliance standards across all industries (HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and more).
This is the gold standard for government agencies, healthcare providers, and enterprises requiring maximum data security.

💥 Lower-Cost Option: PunchingHard Drives Only – Available On-Site & Off-Site

Our punching service provides a budget-friendly alternative to shredding and degaussing. Using mechanical force, we pierce a hole through the hard drive platter, rendering it unusable. While data is physically destroyed, the drive is then sent for precious metal recovery at a certified refinery.
Great for clients who want to see destruction happen in real-time while keeping costs lower.

🛠 Higher-End Option: ShreddingHard Drives Only – Available On-Site Only

Shredding offers the most visual and satisfying destruction method. Our mobile shred truck arrives at your location, turning hard drives into scrap metal before your eyes. This is ideal for companies that require witnessed destruction for compliance or peace of mind, and prefer a more physical approach than punching or degaussing.

✅ Standard Included Service: Data Wiping & BreakdownAll Media Types – Off-Site Only

​For most drop-offs or pickups, AVA Recycling includes a standard data destruction process:
  • Drives are wiped using up-to-date multi-pass software
  • Items that cannot be reused are dismantled and sent for e-waste recycling and metal recovery
This option balances cost-efficiency with data security while keeping devices out of landfills.
