What is the difference between onsite and offsite shredding?

On-site Shredding

We bring our mobile shredding truck to your location and shred your documents right there. It’s convenient and gives you the peace of mind of watching the process happen.
Note: We cannot offer on-site shredding for residential addresses due to legal restrictions. However, we can pick up your documents from your home and securely shred them off-site.

Off-site Shredding

We collect your documents and transport them to our secure facility for shredding. This option is ideal for larger volumes and is often more cost-effective.

Both methods are fully secure, NAID AAA Certified, and compliant with all privacy regulations.

How do I know my documents have been securely shredded?

Your security is our top priority. Corodata is NAID AAA Certified, which means we meet the highest industry standards for secure document destruction. Every shredding service is completed by trained professionals, and you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction for your records. This certificate provides proof that your documents were shredded securely and in compliance with privacy laws.

How should I prepare my materials for shredding?

Preparing your materials for shredding is simple, and we offer flexible options to meet your needs:

  • Banker Boxes: If your documents are already packed in standard banker boxes, you're all set! Our team will pick up the sealed boxes directly from your location and shred the contents securely.
  • Loose Materials or Trash Bags: If your materials aren’t boxed and are instead in trash bags or loose, we recommend using our secure 64-gallon shredding bins. We'll deliver the bins to your facility, and you can fill them up at your convenience. Shredding is then billed per bin.

If you’re unsure how to prep or want guidance on what option works best for you, our team is happy to help. Contact us.

What is IT asset disposition (ITAD)?

IT asset disposition (ITAD) is the secure end-of-life process for retired technology such as laptops, servers, hard drives, and mobile devices. An ITAD program covers asset inventory, certified data destruction, chain-of-custody tracking, environmentally responsible recycling or resale, and documentation in the form of a Certificate of Destruction. Done right, ITAD protects sensitive data, keeps electronics out of landfills, and supports compliance with regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and NIST 800-88.

How do you handle e-waste responsibly and keep electronics out of landfills?

Corodata manages e-waste responsibly through a secure and environmentally compliant process designed to keep electronics out of landfills. All assets are handled in accordance with NAID AAA and R2v3 standards, ensuring proper tracking, processing, and environmentally sound recycling practices.

I’ve had a great experience with Corodata in Corona. Their team is professional, friendly and always willing to help. They make the process easy and communicate clearly whenever there are questions or service updates. The staff takes pride in their work and it shows in the way they handle customers and their services. Whether it is records storage or shredding , they are dependable and focused on getting the job done right. Huge shoutout to Cristine as she is always helping me with my shred pick ups or if I have questions about my boxes being stored. She is amazing to work with! It is refreshing to work with a company that values customer service and builds strong relationships with its clients. I would definitely recommend Corodata to any business looking for a reliable and trustworthy partner.

Miles and Marshall provided swift, concise, and excellent customer service when I needed scanning of my documents completed. Marshall emailed me back almost immediately every time and helped me coordinate document drop off. The scans are crystal clear and had a very fast turnaround considering the number of docs. I also dropped off a packet for shredding. Kudos and thank you to whoever did they actual scanning. High quality scans that are easily searchable and they even broke them down into the individual packets i dropped the documents off in. This service is super beneficial to me and I would definitely recommend Corodata for any large doc scanning needs you may have.

Corodata was a joy to work with. They have very reasonable prices, the staff are attentive and accessible (love Linda!), and they are local and got the job done - 29 banker boxes of documents. Highly recommend them if you need shredding services for a decent price and great service.

The staff at Corodata, including warehouse and office personnel, were very helpful and accommodating. I had to review the file contents and mark dozens of boxes for shredding/destruction. It took 7 hours, and everyone helped to make our job easier. We were able to eat lunch onsite; they helped load the handful of boxes we retained into our car and gave us a modest courtesy discount on the total charges.

I searched lots of commercial shredding options for our office and they were all overpriced except for Corodata. As a small office, we were grateful for the different size options and 0 commitment to a certain time frame as the rental fee was monthly and not based on the # of bins. Jami Cabrera also provided excellent customer service and gave us multiple cost options to compare and arranged a drop off that worked for our schedule. Great experience overall!
