I know someone who worked at a recycler who was paid to physically destroy and certify media as destroyed. It took time and money to destroy media so it just sat in a warehouse for months and the paperwork was lies. Eventually they went bankrupt and another company bought the stock and sold it on eBay by the palette load as is.

The only companies that do a proper job are the ones that turn up to your office and shred the hardware in front of you. Paperwork is worth shit otherwise.
