Secure Data Destruction for Galleria & Uptown Firms
Free scheduled pickup across 77056, 77057, and 77046, served from our Sugar Land facility
The Galleria and Uptown district, anchored by the Galleria mall where Loop 610 meets Westheimer and Post Oak Blvd, is one of Houston's densest corporate cores. Inside its multi-tenant towers sit corporate headquarters, law firms, financial services, and consulting practices that handle some of the most sensitive records in the city. When a drive holds privileged client files, account data, or deal documents, it cannot simply be recycled or tossed. It must be destroyed and documented. EverTrade is based at 10100 Belknap Rd, Suite B5 in Sugar Land, a short drive from Uptown via US-59 and Loop 610, so we bring free scheduled pickup to your high-rise suite and start your chain of custody at the door. We also support financial services media disposal for Galleria and Uptown offices.

How We Destroy Data for Galleria & Uptown Offices
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Wiping
We use enterprise-grade software aligned to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidance to overwrite or cryptographically erase drives. Reusable drives can be remarketed while previous data is rendered unrecoverable, ideal for Uptown office refreshes across multi-tenant towers.
Physical Hard Drive Shredding
For damaged drives or maximum-security records, we physically shred storage media into scrap metal at our Sugar Land facility. This is the ultimate form of hard drive destruction for Galleria law, financial, and consulting firms.
Scheduled Pickup or Drop-Off
Schedule free business pickup across the Galleria and Uptown, or drop drives at our Sugar Land facility. Witnessed destruction is available by appointment at the Sugar Land location for firms that need to observe the process.

Our team brings free scheduled pickup to your tower along Post Oak Blvd or Westheimer, coordinating freight-elevator and loading-dock access so multi-tenant logistics stay smooth and your chain of custody starts at your suite door.
