Shredding dragging you down year-round?

Shredding on your own every few months can get really time-consuming. For businesses with ongoing document shredding needs, we offer services on a recurring basis. Stay secure, compliant, and shred all year round.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I need to prepare my materials for shredding?

Let us know your volume; we can deliver secure totes in advance or bring them the day of service to transfer contents directly from storage.

How long does a one-time service take?

The time required depends on the volume of materials and site accessibility. Most one-time services are completed within a few hours on the scheduled day. We’ll provide a time estimate when booking to ensure minimal disruption.

How soon can you come to clear out my documents?

For urgent one‑time shredding, choose our Express (2‑day) or Priority (5‑day) service options. If your needs are less time‑sensitive, or if you require recurring service, we’ll schedule a pickup at the date and time that works best for you.

Does Shred-it provide boxes and bins to pick up our documents?

Yes. We offer secure containers that you can fill at your convenience before scheduling a pick-up. If you already have closed or sealed boxes, our team can move them at your direction. However, please note that we do not provide labor to empty file cabinets, shelves, or other storage areas.

Why should I securely shred my documents?

Secure shredding helps protect your company from data breaches by making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access sensitive business information. It supports compliance with privacy regulations, reduces the risk of corporate fraud, and allows for responsible disposal through recycling.

What types of materials can be shredded?

We primarily shred paper, but our technology allows us to securely destroy a wide range of materials. Unlike conventional strip-cut shredders, we use cross-cut technology to reduce paper to fine, confetti-like pieces. Contact your local Shred-it representative to discuss your specific destruction needs.

Is the shredded paper recycled?

Yes. After secure shredding, paper fragments are baled and sent to trusted recycling partners to be repurposed into new paper products, supporting environmental sustainability.

What is a Proof of Service?

Our Proof of Service certificate (formerly referred to as a Certificate of Destruction) is provided to your business after every material pick up to acknowledge that your documents have been collected by a secure destruction company for proper disposal.
