    The best method, by far, is when you have your electronic media destroyed at your site. We have all our paper shredded at our site and our electronic media aswell ..Hard drives,back-up tapes,cell phones,thumb drives,cd’s,dvd’s. The truck comes to our loading dock and shreds the media into small pieces, while we watch, the whole process which is recorded on a dvd .
