How Does Our Mobile Shredding Work

You can have your confidential paper records destroyed at your Fairfield CT residence or office with one of our commercial document destruction trucks.  We pull up to your location and 6,000 pounds of paper shredding power per hour tears through your files and turns them into small unreadable particles of paper.  Just show our helpful staff what documents you want shredded.  They will place those papers into our 96-gallon security bins.  The bins are locked and then moved to our mobile unit.  The shredding system on the truck does the rest by lifting the bin into a tunnel that pulls out from the side of the truck and leads to the shredder.  The bin is emptied and all your papers are destroyed.  The process repeats until all your documents are shredded.  You can also watch the whole process on a TV screen mounted on the side of the truck.

Why Shredding Your Documents Is Important

The number of unscrupulous people who are looking to steal and use your confidential information is alarming.  One of the best defenses is to have all the documents you are throwing away shredded.  This way any of the information contained in those papers can’t be used ever again.  Privacy laws also require you to securely dispose of all documents containing private information and shredding keeps you compliant.

What Happens To Your Shredded Documents

The good news is your shredded documents do not become part of the waste stream.  We recycle all the papers we shred.  They are sent to paper mills that turn the shredded particles back into paper pulp.  Then they can use it to make other paper products like paper towels and napkins.  Every ton of recycled shredded paper saves 17 trees.
