Certificate of destruction.

A certificate of destruction is the formal record that materials were destroyed: what was destroyed, how, when, and under whose custody. It turns "we shredded it" into evidence you can show an auditor, a regulator or your board. Shreddee issues one on every job, alongside a documented chain of custody.

At a minimum: what was destroyed, the method, the date and time, and the chain of custody from collection to destruction. For hard drives and devices, ask for serial-level itemization so each unit can be matched to your asset records. Shreddee's certificates cover all of these, with serial numbers and video available on request. See hard drive destruction.

If you dispose of anything confidential or regulated, in practice yes: it is the document that shows the disposal was done properly when someone asks later. Without one you are relying on memory. It matters most for health, financial and legal records, retired drives, and product that must not reach the market. See compliance.

Yes. Every Shreddee job closes with a certificate of destruction, whether it is a one-time purge, a drive decommission or a product destruction. There is nothing extra to ask for; serial numbers and video are added when you need them. Request a quote.

Yes. Hard drives, SSDs and devices are destroyed and itemized by serial number, and electronics sent for recycling are tracked end to end, so the certificate covers the whole job. See electronics recycling.
