Residential Document Shredding Services

We offer two convenient options for residential shredding, and pricing depends on the option you choose:

• Mobile On-Site Shredding: Our secure shredding truck comes to your home, and pricing starts at approximately $225. This is ideal for larger cleanouts, moves, or anyone who wants the convenience of shredding at their doorstep.

• Drop-Off Shredding: If you only have a small amount (1–9 boxes), drop-off is a cost-effective choice.

Our team can help you decide which option offers the best value based on your volume.

You don’t need to use specific containers — we accept documents in boxes, reusable bags, garbage bags, or any other easy-to-carry container. If it’s safe to lift and transport to our truck, we can shred it. For mobile service, many customers use banker’s boxes or grocery bags, but we’re flexible.

Nope — you can leave all of those intact. Our industrial shredders are built to handle staples, paper clips, rubber bands, and even manila folders. There’s no need to spend time sorting or prepping your documents — just gather what you need shredded and we’ll take it from there.

Yes! If you choose mobile on-site shredding, our secure shredding truck will arrive at your location and destroy your documents right there — while you watch. It’s a great option if you want immediate assurance that everything has been securely and completely destroyed.

We handle jobs of all sizes — from a couple of boxes to full home office or estate cleanouts. Mobile shredding has a minimum charge (typically equivalent to around 10 boxes), so it’s ideal for medium to large volumes. If you only have a few boxes or bags, our drop-off service offers the same secure shredding for a lower cost.

Anything that contains personal or sensitive information should be shredded. This includes:

• Tax documents and old returns

• Bank and credit card statements

• Utility bills

• Medical records and prescriptions

• Legal papers and personal letters

• Any document with your address, signature, or account info

If you’re not sure — it’s safer to shred. Identity theft often starts with improperly discarded paperwork.

We’ll work with you to schedule a convenient day for your mobile shredding appointment. Our customer service team gives you a heads-up about an hour before our truck arrives, so you know exactly when to expect us.

Appointments are available Monday to Friday during daytime business hours.

Once your documents are securely shredded, we transport the paper to a certified recycling facility. It’s then processed into household products like paper towels and tissue. So you’re not only protecting your personal information — you’re also helping reduce waste and support sustainability.
