Good to know

How much does paper shredding cost at local print shops?

Pricing typically ranges between $0.99 and $2.49 per pound for loose pages. If you bring filled standard banker boxes (10x12x15 inches), shops usually charge a flat rate of $12 to $30 per box. While city community drives occasionally offer free shredding events, retail print locations charge by weight or volume.

Do I need to remove staples or paper clips before drop-off?

Standard steel staples and thin wire paper clips are easily processed by commercial shredding machinery and do not need to be removed. However, you must strip away heavy binder clips, plastic page protectors, spiral bindings, and hardcover binders before submitting your paper.

How are documents stored and destroyed securely?

Documents are placed directly into locked, tamper-evident consoles at the store counter in your presence. These locked bins are serviced on a set schedule by NAID AAA-certified destruction providers, who transport the contents to industrial cross-cut shredders and issue formal Certificates of Destruction.
