Boston Records Management FAQs

Common questions about storage, scanning, and secure destruction across Boston.

The Greater Boston team handles offsite records storage, document scanning and conversion, paper shredding and one-time purges, information asset disposal including hard drives, and document workflow solutions for organizations moving off paper. Most clients here combine two or three — scanning what they touch weekly, storing what they are required to keep, and shredding what has aged past its retention period. Pathology and climate-controlled storage and Release of Information services are available through the wider VRC network but are not handled at every facility, so ask the local team what runs locally and what routes elsewhere.

Boston-area service runs from 48 Friars Dr, Hudson, NH 03051, and the local number is (603) 625-1171. Hudson sits just over the state line off Route 3, roughly forty minutes north of downtown, which keeps regular pickups running into the city and out to the North Shore without you paying Boston-area rates to warehouse boxes you touch twice a year. The team you work with is local to the facility rather than a national call center. Walk-in hours vary, so call before driving over with records.

Coverage runs across Suffolk, Middlesex, Essex, and Norfolk counties, including Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Quincy, Waltham, Woburn, Lowell, and Lawrence, and extends north into southern New Hampshire. Pickups are scheduled by address rather than by municipality, so locations not named here are frequently still serviceable — ask us to confirm before you commit to anything.

Yes, and Massachusetts is stricter about it than most states. M.G.L. chapter 93I governs disposal of records containing personal information and requires that paper be redacted, burned, pulverized, or shredded so the data cannot practicably be read or reconstructed, with electronic media destroyed or erased to the same standard. Chapter 93H covers breach notification when that fails. The federal FACTA Disposal Rule and HIPAA apply on top for consumer report data and protected health information. Shredding through a NAID AAA Certified vendor and retaining the Certificate of Destruction is how you document that disposal actually met the standard.

Yes. Massachusetts regulation 201 CMR 17.00 requires any business that owns or licenses personal information about a Massachusetts resident to maintain a comprehensive Written Information Security Program, and disposal is an explicit part of what that program must address — not an afterthought once records leave the building. The obligation applies regardless of where your business is headquartered; what matters is whose data you hold. A documented destruction schedule with certificates issued as records age out is the practical evidence that your WISP is being followed rather than just written down.

Shredding is priced by volume rather than by the page, so the real answer depends on how much paper you have and how often it needs handling. A recurring program with locked containers on site prices differently than a one-time purge of a filing room, and offsite destruction generally runs less than mobile shredding because we process in bulk at the plant. Tell the local team roughly what you are dealing with — a few boxes, a storage room, a full floor — and they will quote against your actual volume instead of a flat rate.
