Why APD
We eliminate the middleman passing the savings on to you.
Most destruction companies are brokers — they take your product and hand it to someone else, adding markup and removing visibility. We destroy it in our own Phoenix warehouses. Direct contact, lower cost, verifiable proof.

What our clients say
Direct vs Broker
What changes when there's no middleman
Most product destruction companies in Arizona are brokers. With 80% of our products processed in-house we can offer direct, cost-effective solutions. Here's what that difference means for your load, side by side.
| Direct with APD | Using a broker | |
|---|---|---|
| Who handles your product | APD staff, in our own two Phoenix warehouses | Sold on to a third-party facility you never see |
| Cost | Direct pricing with no margin in the middle | The facility's price plus the broker's markup |
| Point of contact | One contact who can answer for the work itself | A salesperson relaying messages to the actual processor |
| Documentation | Upon request, a Certificate of Destruction issued for work we performed | Passed along second-hand from the processor |
FAQ
Product destruction questions, answered
The questions manufacturers, distributors and compliance teams ask us most often.
What areas does Arizona Product Destruction serve?
We're based in Phoenix, Arizona and serve customers across the continental U.S. Within Arizona (from Page to Tucson, and Yuma to Flagstaff) we handle logistics with our own dedicated local fleet. Beyond Arizona, we use our trusted shipping partners to service the entire lower 48. For specialty product destruction we have partnered with destruction facilities across the Southwest.
How much waste does Arizona Product Destruction divert from landfill?
In 2025, Arizona Product Destruction recycled 26,000 tons of old corrugated cardboard, diverted more than 800 tons of metals, and routed over 180 loads to approved waste-to-energy facilities. Across all materials received, more than 72% has a downstream second use, and zero beverage product enters the public sewer.
What sort of custom solutions do you offer?
We can process almost any product. We test our process on a small shipment, determine whether machinery updates or new equipment are needed, and write an SOP for an efficient, cost-effective quote. Turnaround can be as little as a week, depending on product complexity.
