Secure Phone Shredding in Blaine, Minnesota
Secure phone shredding for Twin Cities businesses retiring devices in volume, with pickup within about 100 miles of our Blaine facility, witnessed destruction, and drop-off or mail-in for residential customers.
A drawer of old company phones still holds texts, contacts, email accounts and saved logins, and the same goes for the SIM cards and memory chips inside them. Recycle Technologies takes those devices out of circulation at our Blaine site on 99th Lane NE. Phones are wiped or physically destroyed, whichever makes the data unrecoverable, and you can watch it happen. We built this for offices and organizations clearing out phones in bulk, with commercial pickup across the metro. Every completed job comes with a Certificate of Destruction, giving your organization documentation of the service. Our operations are NAID AAA certified and follow R2v3 and RIOS standards.

Devices We Destroy in Blaine
From a bin of retired staff phones at a Fridley clinic to a box of field devices from a Brooklyn Park contractor, we handle:
Cell phones and smartphones, working or broken
Other handheld mobile devices that store data
SIM cards
Memory chips
Why a Factory Reset Isn't the End of It
Resetting a phone clears the screen you see, but it doesn't guarantee the data underneath is gone. SIM cards and memory chips can carry contacts and files of their own, and a phone with a cracked screen or dead battery can still hold everything it stored. When the device leaves your hands, you want proof that nothing on it can be read again.
Data Wiping or Physical Destruction
Each device is either wiped or physically destroyed, depending on what it takes to make the data unrecoverable. Damaged phones that can't be wiped are destroyed. Either way, the remaining material moves on to recycling instead of a landfill.
Watch Your Phones Being Destroyed
If you'd like to see it for yourself, you can witness the destruction of your devices at our Blaine facility. Ask for witnessed destruction when you book, and we'll set a time.
Certificate and Standards
You receive a Certificate of Destruction once your devices are processed. Our operations are NAID AAA certified and follow R2v3 and RIOS standards, which are audited by outside reviewers, and the standards shown across our services include NIST SP 800-88, HIPAA, and GLBA. Your organization's own compliance duties remain with you, but the paperwork gives you a clear record.
See our main phone shredding page for more on how devices are handled.
