How Much Does Mobile Shredding Cost?
While rates differ by provider and location, mobile shredding costs an average of $130-$175 for 1-10 boxes of paper. The final cost of your shredding project depends on a few factors — quantity, location, service type, and any additional services you opt for.
The more paper you have to shred, the lower the cost tends to be (again, depending on the provider). The distance the mobile shredding provider must travel to reach you can also impact cost. The type of service you choose plays a part, as do any extra services you add on.

Witnessed shredding refers to being able to observe the shredding process. HIPAA requires proof of secure destruction, so witnessed shredding is the ideal solution for industries handling personal information.
How does a mobile shred truck work?
A mobile shred truck comes equipped with industrial shredders that can destroy up to 8,000 pounds of paper an hour, as well as shred CDs, hard drives, and more. The truck’s control panel opens a mechanical arm to secure your shred bin to the automatic grip lift system. Then, the bin is lifted and the materials are dumped into the truck’s hopper lid. The empty bin will go back down and another can take its place if needed. The contents of the bin(s) run through the shredder that rips and shreds your materials. Lastly, the shreds mix and compact with materials from other stops.

How secure is mobile shredding?
Mobile shredding is the most secure shredding service you can get. Your service providers will give you locking shred bins that are lifted directly into the shred truck’s shredder so the service provider will never come into contact with any of your documents. In addition, you get to watch the whole process happen and still receive a certificate of destruction for your records when the process is complete.
How do recurring services work?
With recurring or scheduled services, you can have your service provider come to your location weekly, monthly, or quarterly, depending on your needs. In addition, your service provider will provide you with locked shred bins to hold your documents until your decided shred day.
What are purge shredding services?
Purge shredding is a one-time event for shredding documents in bulk. It’s ideal for when there’s a large number of documents past their retention time, there isn’t a need for ongoing services, or individuals just need a one-time clean-out of personal documents. Our service providers are equipped to handle any size project and can complete a purge shredding service in minutes.
Are my paper shreds recycled with mobile shredding?
Yes, after your documents are shredded, the shreds will be taken to a recycling facility to be pulped and made into new paper products.
Can the shred truck also handle electronics?
Most shred trucks can handle CDs and hard drives, but you will have to confirm with your service provider what their truck can handle or has room for.
What is a certificate of destruction?
A certificate of destruction is a formal document that provides details about the destruction of your papers and ensures the shredding process complies with all state and federal security laws. It includes details such as the transaction number, chain of custody, terms and conditions, collection date, location of the destruction, and more.
