Confidential waste disposal

Safeguarding Your Liability and Reputation

Product Destruction serves as the ultimate solution to mitigate your liability linked to the distribution of recalled, out-of-spec, and counterfeit products, along with the misuse of outdated packaging. In a digital age where platforms like Craigslist, eBay, and flea markets have provided an avenue for unscrupulous individuals to sell such items in significant quantities, it’s crucial to take proactive measures.

By making it difficult for these items to be retrieved from your dumpster and subsequently sold, you can protect your business from potential risks and reputational damage. Count on our professional Product Destruction services to eliminate any chance of unauthorized distribution, ensuring peace of mind for you and your customers.

Don’t leave your liability to chance. Safeguard your brand, comply with regulations, and avoid potential legal repercussions by prioritizing Product Destruction as a vital part of your business strategy. Contact us today to learn how our secure and efficient processes can effectively eliminate these risks.

Liability Reduction

Protect your Business

Historically, one group of people who raid your dumpsters of recalled, out of spec products or packaging is your own employees. They know what the product is worth and everyone either knows how to or knows someone who knows how to sell the items on the internet or at flea markets. Consider what if your packaging is stolen. Anyone can put anything in the packaging. The liability will likely fall on you, even if the packaging was stolen from your dumpster.

The best way to protect yourself is to ensure the destruction of anything that could hurt you if the “wrong person” got hold of it. Another threat is your competitors coming into possession of your prototypes or models. When in doubt, destroy the products. Think of this as protection and Insurance of your Corporate brand name.
