How Much Does Paper Shredding Cost?

While rates differ by provider and location, scheduling with a mobile shredding provider costs an average of  $130-$175 for 1-10 boxes of paper. Scheduling with an offsite shredding provider can cost an average of $110-130 for 1-10 boxes. The final cost of your paper shredding project depends on a few factors — quantity, location, frequency of service, 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). Frequency and distance the shredding provider must travel to reach you can also impact cost. The type of service you choose also plays a part, as do any extra services you opt to add on.
