How Much Does Offsite Shredding Cost?
While rates differ by provider and location, offsite shredding costs an average of $110-$130 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 shredding provider must travel to pick up your files can also impact cost. The type of service you choose plays a part, as do any extra services you opt to add on.

How much does off-site shredding cost?
On average, off-site shredding costs $110-$130 for projects of 1-10 boxes. However, the price will depend on the size of your project, your location, and other factors. It is typically cheaper than mobile shredding though since the truck doesn’t stay on-site for the shredding.
How do recurring services work?
With recurring or scheduled services, you can have your off-site shredding 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 is purge shredding?
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 off-site shredding service providers are equipped to handle any size project and can complete a purge shredding service in minutes.
What is HIPAA?
HIPAA outlines the legal requirements that protect personal health information. Safe destruction is required when the record retention period is complete. Shredding is an approved method that renders your files permanently unreadable.
What is FERPA and PPRA?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) require information protection of all educational records and personal data.
What is FACTA?
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) requires anyone who uses information from any type of consumer report for a business purpose must dispose of the information securely and properly. Disposal must be sufficient enough so that the data can’t be reconstructed in any way.
What is GLBA?
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) defines how financial institutions should handle and destroy private information. It regulates information sharing and implements security practices to protect financial data.
How secure is Shred Nations?
All of our service providers comply with all state and federal data privacy laws including HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and more. Mobile shredding is our most secure service since you get to witness the shredding, but all other services besides drop-off locations will provide a certificate of destruction. It details that the process complied with all state and federal regulations in case of an audit.
