Prototypes, engineering units, R&D boards and rejected product are shredded so they cannot be rebuilt, copied or reused. You get a certificate of destruction, and your design stays yours.
A retired prototype can show a competitor years of engineering. A rejected batch with your logo on it can end up for sale online. Pre-release hardware, test boards and returned units carry the same risk.
EDI shreds this equipment so it cannot be rebuilt or reused. It is the same process we use for controlled goods, without the controlled goods paperwork.
Metal and electronics only.
What it is, roughly how much, and whether part numbers or serial numbers need to appear on the certificate.
Our truck collects in Ontario and Quebec. From elsewhere in Canada you ship to Orillia.
The load gets its own lot number and a receiving report.
The hardware is shredded at our Orillia facility. The shredded material goes on for metal recovery.
Your proof that the units no longer exist, for your quality, legal or customer file.
Some R&D groups send us a load every few weeks. Some manufacturers send one lot when a product line ends. Both are normal. If you need the same paperwork every time for an internal procedure or a customer requirement, tell us once and it stays that way.
Yes. Send your list with the load, or ask us to record serial numbers as the lot is received.
No. We also shred metal parts, housings, tooling and fixtures. Our destruction service is for metal and electronics.
If some of it is, say so when you first contact us. It changes how the load is handled and what the certificate says. See controlled goods destruction.
Controlled parts, boards and assemblies destroyed in Ontario by a company registered with Canada's Controlled Goods Program.
Hard drives, solid-state drives, phones and tapes shredded, or wiped with certified software, with every serial number recorded.
Reject boards, excess components, solder dross and rejected product, each handled for what it is.
