About KARD Shredding
KARD, established in 1975, was created in a garage in Waukesha County, WI serving commercial and governmental offices and printing businesses. In the 1990s, KARD bought its first shredder and joined the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID). This accrediting body certifies shredding companies, and after obtaining NAID's AAA+ Certification, KARD changed its name to KARD Recycling and Shredding.
In 2017, KARD sold its industrial recycling businesses in New Berlin and Madison to focus solely on its core shredding and destruction services. KARD is now known as simply KARD Shredding, the premier commercial, governmental, and residential data destruction company throughout southeastern Wisconsin.
Sustainably shredding and recycling the byproduct, KARD Shredding takes pride in serving customers around the region with pick-up services, on-site shredding, and walk-in services. Visit our New Berlin, WI facility, and we'll greet you with a smile and a promise to meet your sensitive shredding needs!
We look forward to seeing you next time you need information destroyed - paper, disk drives, magnetic and medical media, or licensed products!
Accepted Materials
All paper products, books, folders, and papers with a minimum amount of paper clips, rubber bands, and staples are acceptable for shredding. Non-paper items must be declared before acceptance by KARD and submitted separately from paper for shredding. Only paper items for shredding shall be placed in collection bins, while non-paper items shall be separated into different containers for physical destruction.
Unacceptable Materials
Ring binders, steel posts, hanging file cabinet folders and edge binders, stone, metal, ammunition, liquids, wood, concrete, plastic bags, and containers are unacceptable and considered contaminants. If found among the shredding materials, these items are considered refuse and subject to separate fees by weight. Patient records cannot contain X-ray images.
Electronics
Non-paper items must be declared before KARD accepts them. Data storage components, like hard drives, memory cards, SIM cards, compact disks and video disks, micro media, tapes, reels, and CDs, are accepted for destruction services but must be separated from paper shredding products and will be destroyed in accordance with our NAID accreditation for a separate fee. E-waste, i.e., bulk electronics without data storage, will be processed and charged as recyclable refuse by weight. Any computers, tablets, phones, thumb drives, and other devices storing information found in the e-waste will be destroyed in accordance with our NAID accreditation for a separate fee. E-waste is not eligible for mobile, on-site destruction.
