If you have old business records, financial documents, medical files, customer information, or personal papers that need to be securely destroyed, on-site document shredding is one of the safest and most convenient ways to get the job done.
Instead of transporting your confidential documents somewhere else to be destroyed, on-site shredding brings the shredding equipment directly to your home or business. With FileShred, your documents are securely destroyed at your location before our shredding truck leaves.
It’s secure, convenient, and surprisingly easy.
How Does On-Site Document Shredding Work?
The process starts by contacting FileShred. Tell us approximately how much paper you have to destroy, and we’ll explain your options and provide you with a quote.
You can then select a service date that works for you. FileShred offers shredding services Monday through Saturday, and next-day appointments are often available.
When our mobile shredding truck arrives, our trained shredding professionals do the work for you.
Your documents can be in boxes, bags, file cabinets, or another convenient container. We transfer the papers into one of our secure shredding bins and wheel the bin directly to the shredding truck.
The truck’s automated system lifts the bin and empties the documents directly into the industrial shredder. Your confidential papers are then destroyed right there at your location.
You can even watch your documents being shredded on the truck’s viewing monitor.
Before our truck drives away, your documents have already been destroyed.
Do I Have to Prepare My Documents for Shredding?
One of the best things about professional on-site shredding is that there is very little preparation required.
You don’t have to spend hours removing:
- Staples
- Paper clips
- Binder clips
- Rubber bands
- File folders
- Envelopes
- Many common document fasteners
Our powerful commercial shredding equipment is designed to destroy large quantities of documents quickly and securely.
Just identify what you want destroyed and let FileShred handle the rest.
Is On-Site Shredding Only for Businesses?
Absolutely not.
FileShred provides residential and business document shredding services.
For homeowners, on-site shredding is perfect for getting rid of old tax records, bank statements, bills, medical records, credit card statements, outdated files, and other papers containing personal information.
For businesses, professional shredding helps securely dispose of documents containing information about employees, customers, patients, vendors, finances, and business operations.
Whether you have a few boxes at home or hundreds of boxes at a business location, FileShred can provide a shredding solution that fits your needs.
What Are the Benefits of On-Site Document Shredding?
One of the biggest advantages is security. Your confidential documents don’t have to be transported somewhere else before they’re destroyed.
You know when and where the destruction takes place because it happens right outside your home or business.
On-site shredding is also convenient. Instead of spending hours feeding a few sheets at a time into an office shredder, FileShred’s industrial equipment can securely destroy large quantities of paper very quickly.
It also eliminates the need to load heavy boxes into your vehicle and drive them to a drop-off shredding location.
We come to you, and we do the work.
What Happens to the Paper After It Is Shredded?
Secure destruction isn’t the end of the process.
After your documents have been shredded, the shredded paper is transported for recycling. The material is processed and eventually used to manufacture new paper products.
That means professional document shredding helps you protect confidential information while also keeping large quantities of paper out of the waste stream.
What Is the Difference Between One-Time and Ongoing Shredding?
FileShred offers both.
One-time shredding is ideal when you have accumulated documents that need to be destroyed all at once. This is popular for office cleanouts, moving, reducing stored records, year-end file purges, estate cleanouts, and residential shredding.
Ongoing shredding service is designed for businesses that regularly generate confidential documents. Secure containers can be provided so employees have a safe place to dispose of sensitive papers until they are professionally destroyed.
Your shredding program can be set up based on your company’s needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Why Choose a NAID AAA Certified Shredding Company?
When confidential information is involved, you want to know that the shredding company you hire follows established security procedures.
FileShred is NAID AAA Certified, demonstrating our commitment to secure information destruction practices.
After your shredding service is completed, FileShred also provides a Certificate of Destruction documenting that your materials were securely destroyed.
For businesses dealing with confidential customer, employee, financial, legal, or medical information, using a professional shredding company can be an important part of an overall information-security program.
