A Certificate of Destruction is a critical legal document that confirms your materials have been received and permanently destroyed.

CRI's destruction floor is at 1750 W. Fullerton Ave. in Addison. For Addison facilities, the chain of custody from your dock to certified destruction is the shortest in the network, fewer handoffs to document, shorter audit trail, less time material spends in transit.
