Step 2 · We document it
Every item logged.
Every item logged.
Zero doubt.
Before any wipe work begins, the item is photographed, identified, and written into the record that follows it through the whole process.
- Photographed at intakeFront and back, so the record shows exactly what arrived.
- Serial recorded when availableThe drive in the report is the drive you handed off.
- Condition noted honestlyDamage, locks, and accessibility issues go in the log, not under the rug.

Step 3 · We wipe the drive
Wiped with ShredOS,
Wiped with ShredOS,
not wishful thinking.
Drives are connected to a dedicated wiping station running ShredOS and erased drive by drive. Deleting files or factory resetting is not the same thing — this is the real pass.
- ShredOS wiping stationA purpose-built machine that boots straight into ShredOS and does nothing else.
- Erase passes, verifiedEach drive runs its own wipe and verification, on its own record.
- Honest limitsDamaged, locked, or encrypted drives get documented, with options explained.

PDF certificate of destruction
A certificate of destruction lands in your inbox as a PDF — proof you can keep and forward.
Photo documentation
Intake photos tie the paperwork to the exact device you handed off, when available.
Honest notes
If a drive couldn't be wiped — damaged, locked, encrypted — the report says so, with options.
Step 5 · Drives stay with us
You keep the proof.
You keep the proof.
We keep the drive.
DriveWipers is built around taking drives in. After the wipe, the drive stays with us and is handled responsibly — you walk away with the documentation, not another thing to store.

What we keep
Off your handsThe wiped drive — it doesn't go back in a drawer
Devices handed in alongside their storage
Handled responsibly from there — recycling or parts
Drives stay with us
No hauling it back home. Once wiped and documented, the drive is DriveWipers' problem, not yours.
Recycling intake
Old tech gets a responsible next stop after the data is handled — not before.
Parts processing
Broken machines can be assessed for storage removal and separate handling.
Built for the boxes in the basement
DriveWipers is a local service for everyday people — not an enterprise IT contract. These are the jobs it's made for.
"We upgraded the family laptop three times and kept every old one, because nobody knew what to do about the photos and tax stuff on them."
"I'm not throwing a computer in the trash with my whole life on it. I just want someone local I can hand it to who'll show me it was handled."
"We closed the office and there's a stack of old towers in storage. Client files were on those machines — I need paper showing they were wiped."
…and the drawer everyone has
The external drive from the old backup routine nobody remembers setting up.
The laptop with the cracked screen that "still works, probably."
Three loose hard drives pulled out of towers a decade ago, labeled with masking tape.
The tablet the kids outgrew, still signed into everything.
The desktop under the stairs that was "going to be a project."
The USB stick drawer. Every house has one.
Illustrative situations, not customer endorsements — DriveWipers is just getting started in the area.
Every device leaves a paper trail
(and you keep it)
No vague reassurances. Each wipe closes out with a record like this one.

Quick answers
View all FAQsUsually not. Deleted files may no longer be visible, but the storage may still need a proper wipe before you can feel confident handing the device off.
Yes. DriveWipers emails a PDF certificate of destruction after processing, with photo documentation when available.
No — the service is built around taking drives in. After the wipe, the drive stays with DriveWipers and you keep the certificate and documentation.
If the storage cannot be accessed by wiping software, the issue is documented and the available next steps are explained clearly.
No. Some devices are damaged, locked, encrypted, or otherwise inaccessible — those limits get documented honestly instead of papered over.
