Off-Site Shredding Services

Off-site shredding is exactly as the name implies. Your papers are picked up and delivered to a secure shredding plant for destruction. This process complies with every current federal and New Mexico privacy law, including HIPAA. Off-site shredding is popular because it is generally cheaper to shred at a facility with a larger shredder that can be accommodated in a truck.

Uniformed security drivers transport your files in a locked truck, guarding them until they are delivered to a locked shredding facility. Upon the arrival of the files for destruction, the boxes are inventoried. The boxes are lined up to start the shredding process. The material is dumped directly into the industrial shredder, which can process about 20,000 pounds per hour. A certificate of destruction is issued with the total weight, verifying that the papers were destroyed.

Once the materials are shredded, they are compacted and sent directly to a paper mill, where the material is turned into pulp and recycled into new paper.
