Crime Scene and Trauma Cleanup in Boyers, PA

Boyers is a small unincorporated village in Marion Township, Butler County, in western Pennsylvania.

Boyers was a large mining community around the turn of the twentieth century, served by the Hilliards branch of the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad, whose rails were removed in the early 2000s.

U.S. Steel excavated the limestone mine beneath Boyers from 1902 to 1952 to supply its Pittsburgh-area steel mills.

Since 1954, Boyers' abandoned limestone mines have been reused as high-security underground storage, more than 200 feet below the surface.

Iron Mountain has operated the Boyers underground facility since 1998, and the complex covers more than a thousand acres underground with up to two million square feet of developed storage space.

Stored at Boyers are the Corbis photographic collection — one of the world's largest photo archives — and original records of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management runs a secure facility in the Boyers mine holding security-clearance records, and federal employee retirement claims are famously still processed there by hand, on paper, in file cabinets.

Despite the hundreds of people who work underground at Boyers, the village itself is tiny: the Census Bureau first defined Boyers as a census-designated place in 2023 and estimated its population at only about 155.

Boyers sits at an elevation of about 1,210 feet and is served by the 16016, 16017, and 16018 ZIP codes.
