Direct answer
North Shore ITAD is the IT asset disposition operator based in Silver Bay that serves Duluth, the North Shore, and the Iron Range. We pick up business electronics on published Tuesday / Thursday / Friday routes, sanitize or destroy media with per-device records, and issue certificates tied to those device records when serials exist. Start by calling or texting (612) 888-4968. Usually responds within 15 minutes.
- 01
Schedule on published routes
Duluth runs Tuesdays. Iron Range runs Thursdays. North Shore coastal route runs Fridays. We fit your dock window to the next sustainable pass, not a fake same-day promise.
- 02
Pickup with custody at the dock
Chain of custody starts when equipment leaves your building, not when it hits a bench hours later. Sealed transport, named work order, count checked against intake expectation.
- 03
Serialized intake and asset tags
Each unit gets a tag. Readable serials are captured into inventory. Lots without serials are still counted and weighed so reports stay honest about capture rate.
- 04
Method choice: Clear / Purge / Destroy
NIST SP 800-88 categories matched to media and your policy. HDD overwrite is not the same as SSD crypto-erase. Physical destroy when Purge is not enough or policy requires it. Factory reset is not Purge.
- 05
Verification recorded
Method, media type, and outcome are logged per device record. Verification is part of the work order, not a separate marketing PDF.
- 06
Reuse, refurb, buyback when viable
Reuse-first with testing when policy and sanitization allow. Recycling when the unit is end-of-life. We do not treat commercial lots as anonymous scrap.
- 07
Certificates and reports in the portal
Certificates of Sanitization or Destruction attach to device records when serials exist. Client portal holds the evidence pack for audit season.
MEDIAMethod matrix
Media vs Clear / Purge / Destroy
Notes for planners. Final method follows your policy and what the media can prove. See NIST SP 800-88 notes. Rev. 2 published 12 Sep 2025; we align methods to the guidance. We are not "Rev 2 certified."
| Media | Clear | Purge | Destroy |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDD | Logical overwrite when policy allows Clear | Multi-pass or tool-verified overwrite | Shred / crush when required |
| SSD / NVMe | Limited; vendor tools vary | Crypto-erase / sanitize command when supported | Physical destroy when Purge cannot be proven |
| Phones / tablets | Not relied on alone | MDM wipe plus verified sanitize path | Physical destroy for high-sensitivity lots |
| Tape / optical | Rarely appropriate | Degauss / vendor purge when applicable | Physical destroy is common |
CTRLProof and trust
Controls we can name on the floor
Northshore ITAD services are built for organizations that need evidence, not a logo wall. We design documentation to support HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, and FERPA conversations. We do not claim R2, e-Stewards, NAID AAA, ISO, HIPAA, or SOC certification.
Custody from pickup
Work order opens at the dock. Transport and facility handoffs stay on the same chain, not a verbal handoff at the bench.
Method logged per media type
Clear, Purge, or Destroy recorded against the media class you actually shipped. HDD and SSD are not collapsed into one wipe claim.
Certificates tied to serials
When serials exist, Certificates of Sanitization or Destruction attach to device records. Not one bulk PDF for the whole pallet.
Portal evidence
Reports land in the client portal for audit season: inventory, methods, disposition split, and certificate links.
Commercial IT lots are not Minnesota household covered electronic device (CED) Re-TRAC reporting. If finance needs ESG-ready weights and disposition splits, read the ESG reporting guide. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2: csrc.nist.gov SP 800-88 r2.

Services FAQ
Straight answers for people searching itad northshore, northshore it asset disposition, and related terms. More in the full FAQ.
- What does an ITAD company Northshore actually handle?
- North Shore ITAD handles commercial IT asset disposition: scheduled pickup, serialized intake, NIST SP 800-88 aligned Clear / Purge / Destroy by media type, reuse or recycling, and certificates tied to device records when serials exist. We are based in Silver Bay and run routes through Duluth, the North Shore, and the Iron Range.
- Is there ITAD near me on the Northshore if I am in Duluth or Virginia?
- Yes. Duluth pickups run on Tuesdays. Iron Range communities including Virginia and Hibbing run on Thursdays. Coastal North Shore stops run on Fridays from the Silver Bay base. Call or text (612) 888-4968 to match your dock to the next route.
- How is Northshore IT recycling different from a transfer-station drop?
- Transfer stations and household e-waste events are built for consumer drop-off. Our Northshore IT recycling path is commercial ITAD: chain of custody from pickup, per-device inventory, documented sanitization, and portal reporting. Reuse is tested when policy allows; we do not treat business lots as anonymous scrap.
- What does secure data destruction Northshore include?
- Secure data destruction means a method matched to the media, verification recorded, and a Certificate of Sanitization or Destruction linked to the serial when one exists. Factory reset is not Purge. Details live on our hard drive destruction page and in the work-order evidence pack.
