We understand that no two bulk shredding projects are alike, so we have listed the following items below to help address any questions you may have regarding your one-time shredding project:
What Can and Cannot Be Shredded
Customers are often surprised to find out exactly how powerful our shredding units are, but, there is a much more important consideration when determining what can and cannot be shredded: recycling. Because we recycle 100% of the material we shred, we have to avoid contamination of the shredded paper for the recycling process. In an ideal world, we would shred paper and paper only. But given the way that documents are filed/organized/stored, this is not realistic. In order to provide the most efficient and convenient shredding service to our customers, Shred Ace has worked with our recycling partners to allow for certain levels of non-paper items. To that end, we have certain tolerances for smaller, less substantial items such as staples and paper clips, but items such as 3-ring binders and x-rays cannot be shredded along with paper. It is often a fine line between the two camps, so please refer to the list below as a reference:
Can Be Shredded
Staples
Paper Clips
Rubber Bands
Binder Clips (seriously!)
Envelopes
Manila File Folders
Hanging Field Folders
NCR Forms
Cannot Be Shredded
3-ring binders
Magazines (Glossy Paper)
Newspaper
Cardboard
Plastic
Trash or Food Items
X-Rays
CDs, Disks, Tapes, other plastic/metal media
*It might seem strange that magazines and newspapers are on the “cannot” list, but those items are constructed of a different type of paper fiber that must be recycled separately.
If You Have CDs, Disks, or Tapes
Because Shred Ace prides itself in being a one-stop information security solution, we do offer an off-site solution for the destruction of CDs, disks and tapes. When you call or email to schedule a bulk shredding appointment, just mention your plastic media and we will be happy to describe how the process and pricing works. And of course, if you require on-site shredding of hard drives or media, learn about our NAID AAA Certified process here.

Prompt service, professional young man came and gathered my things, which were not nearly as much to destroy as I had estimated,… More but nonetheless, Shred Ace did what needed to be done, and got rid of a full container, which I could never have lifted nor gotten to a dump, in a matter of minutes. Very courteous young man showed me how to calculate what I need to be destroying. I highly recommend this service.
Easy breezy, efficient and low priced service. They worked with me on timing and date. Gentleman who came to my office… More was courteous and quick. No fuss, no muss ! Wonderful to work with. Highly recommend.
I called another company a few years ago to do some shredding of sensitive documents at my office. I left messages, spoke… More with someone and no one ever showed up. I called Shred-Ace and they have been my go to shredding solution ever since. Every time they have provided a service for me they have always been professional, responsive and dependable. When I need shredding done I call Shred-Ace and I know I will received exceptional service.
