What items can I put in the shred bin and console?

You can shred any paper files that are confidential, contain sensitive information, or are no longer needed. Documents that are commonly shredded include budgets, payroll information, medical records and personal and business banking information. You can keep paper clips and staples on your documents. To learn more, go to our Shredding page.

What does “product destruction” mean?

Product destruction includes electronic media and hard drives. We can shred almost all forms of data-containing electronic media, including:

*Cell Phones
*ID Cards
*Hard Drives & Flash Drives
*CD/DVD
*VHS Tapes
*Floppy Drives
*Floppy Disks

What happens to my documents or electronic media after they are shredded?

Recycling is our mission; therefore, we work hard to repurpose all your shredded material. After documents have been securely shredded and confidential material destroyed, they are baled and sent to paper mills to become new paper products. We also partner with secondary processors that can repurpose your shredded electronic media.

We are members of the National Association of Information Destruction (NAID) and adhere to the industry’s best practices. After shredding services, customers receive a certification of destruction. To learn more about NAID AAA Certification, click here.
