Deposit Documents

Employees use Shred Ace’s locked security container for the retention of confidential documents. You can utilize different types of containers and multiple containers in any combination.

Will I be provided with a key to the container? Yes. Ultimately it is your information, so you should always have access to it in case something was deposited by mistake.

Do I have to pay a separate fee for the shredding containers? No, the containers are provided at no cost to you.

Pickup

Shred Ace shredding technician arrives to collect your confidential materials and securely transport them down to our shredding truck, which is parked at your location.

What happens if I fill my container earlier than the scheduled date? No problem, just give us a call and we will come at an earlier time for the same price as always. We can then reset your schedule from there, no penalties or urgency fees.

Can you shred extra materials from time to time? Sure, that is never an issue- just let our technician know which materials need to be destroyed and we’ll take it from there.

On-Site Destruction

How fast are your shredding trucks? FAST! Our mobile shredding trucks can shred up to 4,000 lbs. of paper per hour, which is the equivalent to approximately 120 file boxes.

Signed Certificate

Once the shredding is completed, we issue a Certificate of Destruction verifying that all materials were securely destroyed.

Can I pay with a credit card? Yes, you can pay online with a credit card or provide your information over the phone. We also accept cash, checks, and bank drafts.

Does the Certificate of Destruction cite that you are NAID AAA Certified for mobile shredding? Yes, our NAID AAA Certification status is noted on the Certificate should you ever need to show documentation that your items were destroyed.

Recycling

What items can/cannot be shredded? There is no need to remove staples, binder clips, paper clips, rubber bands, or hanging file folders. Due to recycling restrictions, however, we cannot shred 3-ring binders or large amounts of plastic or metal along with the paper, those items must be addressed separately.

    Professional, courteous service. The Shred Ace representatives showed up on time and made shredding our documents easy; they … More removed items from binders and sifted through items that were not able to be shredded. We really appreciated their service.
