Scheduled Shredding Programs for Offices
When you stop and think about how many times over the course of the day you or your employees throw documents in a trash can, you might be surprised.

A consistent schedule is more effective, such as weekly, bi-weekly, every four weeks, or monthly.
How We Charge – First, we never charge a rental fee for the secure containers we provide. You will only incur charges when we come to service the containers. You will pay for each container when serviced. That rate is determined by the type and number of containers you have at your location. We do require that each container we supply be serviced once per calendar quarter.
