    Well, I've asked around and I found a company about fifty miles away that will destroy each drive and issue a c.o.d for $6 each. They claim to be HIPAA and DOD compliant. I asked them for something stating that in writing, so we'll see.



    Unfortunately, they are also competing with me for escrap from this area so I wouldn't be surprised if they start marketing to the same places I'm approaching.

    This was dated 2009 and is a less than interesting read. What little I took from it is that the organizations who have to be compliant with HIPPA regs are going to satisfy their liability insurance carrier. Perhaps in the end the insurance companies will determine what is good enough destruction, Mike.

    ps I may have found a better reference: Guidance to Render Unsecured Protected Health Information Unusable, Unreadable, or Indecipherable to Unauthorized Individuals


    Lots to read and I hope someone can locate the correct reference, Mike
