The Growing Need for Secure Electronic Shredding

Electronics power nearly every aspect of modern business, from data storage and communication to healthcare, education, and security. But as technology evolves, more devices become obsolete, creating a growing challenge: how to dispose of electronic equipment safely, responsibly, and in compliance with California law. Improper e-waste disposal not only threatens your organization’s data security but also poses serious risks to the environment, public health, and your company’s financial standing.

Electronic devices often contain toxic heavy metals and corrosive materials, including lithium, lead, and mercury. When discarded improperly, these substances can leak into soil and groundwater, contaminating crops and ecosystems for decades. Beyond environmental harm, damaged or carelessly discarded electronics can lead to data breaches, counterfeit product circulation, and costly regulatory penalties.

California enforces some of the strictest e-waste disposal regulations in the nation, with fines amounting to thousands of dollars per day for improper hazardous waste management. For businesses, compliance is no longer optional; it’s a critical part of operational integrity and corporate social responsibility.

Viking Shred helps organizations stay compliant while protecting sensitive information through certified electronic device shredding and recycling services in Sacramento. Our process eliminates environmental hazards, prevents data recovery, and supports your company’s commitment to a cleaner, safer California.

California’s Covered Electronic Waste Recycling Program

The Covered Electronic Waste (CEW) Recycling Program, established under California’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, was designed to ensure that electronic devices are collected, recycled, and processed responsibly. Under this initiative, retailers collect a small fee at the point of sale for each covered electronic device, which funds the safe recovery and recycling of electronic waste. Despite these regulations, millions of electronic devices in California still end up in storage or landfills every year, posing both environmental and security risks.

As a certified destruction and recycling provider, Viking Shred supports this state-wide effort by securely collecting, dismantling, and recycling covered electronic devices (CEW) in compliance with CalRecycle standards. Our e-waste shredders and on-site electronics shredding services in Sacramento go beyond basic disposal by combining data protection, environmental sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
