Todd McCullough, the owner of the Lenexa, Kan.-based Proshred Security document shredding franchise in Kansas and Missouri, has acquired Lenexa-based Secure e-Cycle, a company that provides destruction and recycling of obsolete electronics.
“Paper shredding has become commonplace, and this is the next logical step,” McCullough says. “As companies upgrade their computers and other electronics, they need a responsible way to dispose of their old equipment.”
Secure e-Cycle, which has been in business for more than 10 years, offers data destruction, recycling and remarketing of electronics. The company employs an asset tracking and reporting system that can provide on-demand reports as well as a certificate of destruction and a continuity of ownership document that proves each asset is handled in compliance with all required laws and regulations, according to a press release issued by the company.
“Our rigorous process, combined with our experience with refurbishment and remarketing, give our clients the ability to generate revenue on the disposal of their equipment,” McCullough says. “Equally important, they can be confident the data [are] destroyed and the raw materials repurposed.”
McCullough says he expects to double his staff in the next year in light of the business opportunities that accompany being able to offer businesses the full scope of secure recycling services. Today, ProShred and Secure e-Cycle have a combined staff of 15 people who serve nearly 2,500 clients.
