Shredding Services

Shred-Away offers a complete line of On-Site shredding services to meet your needs:

Scheduled Security Container Service:
We offer a selection of locking containers for secure storage of discarded incidental records at no charge. We then service the containers weekly, every two weeks or monthly.
Limited Security Container Service:
For clients needing only infrequent service, but wanting access to locking security containers, we offer a container rental or purchase with “on-call” service.
Purge Service (bulk clean-out):
Once stored records have met the end of their retention schedule, they need to be destroyed. We can shred any amount of stored material at your location for those needing one time or occasional shredding service. One box or 10,000 boxes, we can accommodate your needs.
Home Office / Residential Shredding:
For Home Office or Residential Shredding, we will dispatch a truck to your residence on a day when we are in your area.
In most cases we offer a 24 hour service response.

All Shredding is done On-Site by our mobile shredding trucks. No need to remove paper clips, staples, binder clips or other fasteners. We shred everything.

Off-Site Document Destruction:

Shred-Away offers Off-Site shredding as a more economical alternative for clients that do not require destruction done at their location.

Alicensed, bonded and specially insured security officer will pick yourmaterials up without interfering with your daily operations. No need to remove paper clips, staples, binder clips or other fasteners. We shred everything. The materials are destroyed beyond recognition, reconstruction and readability at our secure warehouseunder strictly controlled conditions. Upon completion, you are issued A Certificate of Destruction certifying the time and date your materials were destroyed. The obliterated material is baled then transported to a secure recycling facility where it is remanufactured into new paper products.

On-Site Versus Off-Site

On-Site/Off-Site is a decision you must make. There are advantages to either service.

• The primary advantage to On-Site shredding is that it is more convenient to observe the shredding process. This allows you to physically witness your material being destroyed.

• Off-Site Shredding is every bit a secure as On-Site. Many large companies including banks and hospitals insist that their materials be shredded Off-Site. The primary advantage to this method is cost.

With either method, you are assured of the highest level of security and peace of mind knowing your confidential materials will be completely destroyed beyond recognition and readability. At Shred-Away, we leave nothing to read - so you leave nothing to chance!

Scheduling Options:

We also offer flexible service options:

Scheduled Pick-Ups: We can pick up material as often as necessary. The great majority of our clients have scheduled pick-ups; ranging from daily to weekly, biweekly, and monthly. You don’t have to worry about your containers overflowing or remembering to call for service.
On-Call: Year end, moving, one time purges, file clean outs and more. We can shred documents directly from any container, bankers or file boxes, then return them to you for re-use. Usually, we are able to respond within 24 hours of a service request.
After Business Hours and Weekend Service: If it is inconvenient to service your organization during normal business hours, we can still accommodate you.
One Time Service: We service many clients who use us just once as well as companies who need to shred regularly.

Free Secure Collection Consoles:

To make certain your records are inaccessible while they're awaiting destruction, Shred-Away offers a full line of security consoles, free of charge, to collect and protect your documents between service calls. These attractive containers blend in with any décor and provide the ultimate protection from prying eyes and hands. Whether you need one, or one hundred containers, our security personnel will collect the contents for on-site confidential destruction. We can arrange a regular pickup schedule, offering you another valuable service to save you time, money, and increase your security.
