Product Destruction Questions, Answered

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.

A broker sells your job to whoever will take it, then marks up the price. Arizona Product Destruction owns it's equipment and warehouses, and destroys 80% of the products we receive on-site. That means lower cost, one point of contact, and the ability to observe your own product being destroyed. The remaining 20% are usually products that require specialized equipment. Those are destroyed by our trusted partners who have a similar commitment to brand-protection and sustainability.

Upon request we can issue a Certificate of Destruction with your specific documentation requirements. Beyond the certificate, you can request additional documentation, or arrange to view the process live at our Phoenix facility. Compliance teams usually pick the format their auditor expects.

Cost depends on material type, volume, and how the load arrives, so every job is quoted individually.
