The rate per bin is based on the number of bins you need to have shredded. The more you have to shred the lower the cost per bin. We have a one bin minimum. For our ongoing scheduled service, we also charge a rate per container. We provide the containers free of charge you only incur a cost when we destroy documents.

Our mobile document destruction service is the most secure way you can destroy your private papers because they never leave your Connecticut location without being completely destroyed. One of our powerful mobile units is sent to your home, office, or any location you have files to be destroyed. Then your paper records are placed into a security bin to protect your files when they are taken to the waiting truck just outside. At the truck, an automated system will lift the bin and empty your files directly into the shredder. Your documents are then completely destroyed into small unreadable paper particles. You can also see your documents being destroyed with the onboard camera system on all of our mobile document destruction trucks.
You Pick The Day For Your Document Destruction Service
How about tomorrow? We offer next-day shredding appointments Monday through Saturday to our residential and business customers.

How To Prepare For Your Mobile Shredding Service
With FileShred there is not much more for you to do but decide what documents you want shredded. There is no reason to remove staples, paper clips, rubber bands, and just about any paper fasteners because our powerful shredders will tear through them all. We will shred sealed envelopes, whole files in their jackets, and red-well expanding files. If your documents are in boxes leave them in the cartons. If you have to pull files you can put them in boxes, trash bags, or any containers you have available. We will empty whatever your documents are in, into our bins so they can be shredded. If you have full file draws to shred we will empty them for you into our bins. We can shred 3 ring binders up to one inch thick. If your binders are thicker we will open them and empty the binders into our bin. If your documents are only accessed by stairs leave them there we are happy to carry them for you, just let us know in advance.

Why Document Destruction Services Are Important
Why shred your documents, files, and paperwork if they are no longer needed, no longer important, or just very old? Isn’t tossing them in the trash easier? With the focus on protecting yourself online people forget about the threat of identity theft from paper records. The majority of information theft that occurs is non-digital. On-site shredding is the best way to protect confidential and personal information on documents. Our industrial shredders turn documents into tiny unreadable particles so the printed information is no longer legible. Securely shredding documents before disposal should be a regular routine regardless of how often you discard documents or whether you’re a business or an individual.
Use A NAID AAA Certified Shredding Service
When you use a NAID AAA certified document destruction company like FileShred to destroy your papers you know that your information was eliminated in a manner that meets the strictest security requirements in the industry. Your confidential records were shredded in compliance with Federal and State privacy regulations which you are mandated to follow. This reduces your risk of fines and penalties that can be imposed for non-compliance. It also instills confidence in the people that have entrusted you with their private information. It’s important to note that being a member of NAID does not automatically mean a company is AAA certified. AAA certified companies have had and continue to have their policies and procedures independently audited to verify compliance with NAID’s rigorous security and professional standards.
Certificate of Destruction – Make Sure You Get One
The certificate of destruction is a formal document that evidences the secure destruction of your paper records and hard drives. This document is important to keep on file to be compliant with Federal and State Privacy Laws. The certificate of destruction should include the following information;
- The client’s name and address
- Date of the Destruction
- Location the destruction was performed
- Shredding company’s representative that performed the destruction with signature
- Client’s representative that was present with signature
- Description of how the destruction was performed
- Description of what was destroyed
It is important to note that you should have some type of supporting documents, in addition to the certificate of destruction, that give specific detail of what paper records were destroyed such as “Payroll Records 2009”. It will not be necessary for hard drives since the certificate of destruction will list the hard drives by serial number.
