Why should I use ShredEX® on-site shredding services instead of a paper shredder that I can keep at my desk?
The ShredEX® shredding vehicle is capable of shredding massive amounts of papers very quickly. When it would take an in-house employee 8 hours to shred a batch of papers, our shredding service would process the paper in 15 minutes. Our services allow your employees to spend their time on valuable tasks that are oriented towards reaching your business goals while maintaining confidentiality and freeing up your resources.

How will I know if ShredEX® has shredded all of my confidential documents?
ShredEX® will present a Certificate of Destruction for each visit to your business location. Therefore, ShredEX® assumes all liability for your confidential documents the second they leave your hands.

Do I need to remove paper clips or staples from my documents?
No, the low-speed, high-torque shear process can shred paper clips, staples, binders, and even videos, reel-to-reel tapes and compact discs.

What should I shred?
Payroll stubs, account information, addresses, phone numbers, applications, background checks, budgets, memos, design ideas, legal documents, manuals, training information, trade secrets or any type of confidential information. Any paper that is being thrown away can be placed in the ShredEX® bin to be recycled. See our full list of recommended items to shred.

What happens to the papers after they are shredded?
The shredded material is compacted and mixed with other data, making it virtually unidentifiable. Then, the shredded papers are manufactured into recycled paper products. This ultimately reduces costs and waste and creates environmental sustainability.

How often does the ShredEX® operator come to shred confidential documents?
ShredEX® offers both Scheduled Services and Purge Services. Scheduled Services are for businesses that regularly generate confidential information. The volume of documents produced will determine the frequency of their services. Purge Services are for businesses that do not have a steady need for document destruction services. Their visits are determined on an as-needed basis.
