How Our On-site Shredding Service Works
Mobile shredding is convenient and more secure and you will be able to witness your confidential papers being shredded. One of our commercial shredders will come to your home or business location. Your documents are locked in a 96-gallon bin by our staff and taken to our mobile unit and destroyed right away. The bins are lifted and the documents are shredded by an automated system on the truck. Each bin holds about 300 pounds of paper. We invite you to come to our truck and watch your papers going through the cutting blades at a viewing station on the truck.

Hard Drive Destruction
A hard drive never stops storing data on those old computers you are no longer using. Those hard drives are just sitting there with all of your private and confidential information. So, when a computer is decommissioned, the hard drive should be removed and destroyed. Shredding or crushing hard drives is the only way to be sure the date can never be retrieved. We will come to your Connecticut location and shred or crush your hard drives and give you a certificate of destruction listing each destroyed hard drive by serial number.
Cost – We charge a price per hard drive. The more hard drives you have to destroy the lower the cost per hard drive. Minimums may apply
What Documents You Should Have Shredded
You will find many different recommendations and lists of what documents should be destroyed for security reasons. It is logical that any paper record that has any private or confidential information should be shredded. What you may not be aware that more than 50% of every document has some piece of information that privacy laws mandate that they be shredded when they are being disposed of. The most prudent course of action is to shred every document you are discarding.
Why is Document Shredding Important?
All documents should be shredded before disposing of them to prevent your confidential information from being stolen by identity thieves or your competition. Private and confidential information is on more documents than people realize, so it is recommended that all documents should be shredded instead of just throwing them away.
We Recycle Destroyed Documents
We are committed to being GREEN to protect the environment and save our natural resources. After FileShred destroys your documents, the shredded paper particles are recycled. That means 100% of the paper we shred is recycled and used to make other paper products. It has never been easier for you to have a positive effect on the environment.
