Scheduled Paper Shredding Services
Schedule Your Recurring Shredding Service
Sometimes paper shredding is the last thing on your mind. That’s where Shred Nations comes in! Our local network of paper shredding companies work with your business or residence to set up regular shredding services.
When it works best for you, a shredding professional will arrive at your location and either shred your documents onsite or transport them to a secure offsite shredding facility. Either way, you’ll receive a certificate of destruction each and every time. And most providers supply you with collection bins to make pre-service organization easier.
Scheduled shredding is convenient for businesses, but individuals also benefit. By scheduling in advance with one of our certified, compliance-focused shredding partners, you won’t have to worry you’ll forget — it’s already set!
How Much Does Scheduled 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 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.

What are shred bins?
Shred bins are equipped with secure hasps so that the lid can be padlocked to prevent unauthorized access to documents waiting for shredding. To avoid needing to regularly unlock containers, shred bins are designed to be like a mailbox with a one-way slot for depositing documents for shredding. To find which shred bin suits you best, you first need to calculate how much paper you collect between shredding.

Yes, your service provider will give you their options of shred bins to choose from and will give them to you before your shred day to keep your documents in.
How often can I get my papers shredded?
You can schedule your services anywhere from weekly, monthly, quarterly, or any other custom timeframe that best fits your shredding needs.
What is mobile shredding?
Mobile shredding service sends a shred truck to your location to shred your documents onsite while you watch. Your shred bin will be returned to you right away to hold your documents for the next service. Learn more about mobile shredding.
How much do recurring services cost?
If you choose mobile shredding, it can cost between $130-$175 for a project of 1-10 boxes. If you choose off-site shredding, it can cost around $110-$130 for a project of 1-10 boxes. These prices will depend on your location, the size of your project, the frequency of services, and other factors. Once you contact us with the details of your project, we can give you a more accurate price quote.
Are my paper shreds recycled?
Yes, with all shredding services, the shreds will be taken to a recycling facility to be pulped and made into new paper products.
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.
How can I calculate the size of my project?
You can use our shredding calculator to find out how much paper you have.
What is off-site shredding?
Off-site shredding services send a large truck to your location to pick up your documents and safely haul them to a secure offsite facility for shredding. Learn more about offsite shredding.
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.
