Still Deciding? Take a quick look at DIY Shredding vs. Cost of Professional Services

Even with the pervasive use of technology across industries, secure paper shredding is still a necessity for businesses to ensure the safe disposal of confidential documents that are no longer needed. You may think it’s easier and more cost effective to handle your company’s paper shredding internally. However, there are hidden costs with a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach, which make it less economical than you might think.

DIY shredding comes with significant drawbacks & hidden costs:

• Limited Capacity: Personal shredders can only handle a few sheets at a time and often overheat, requiring frequent cool-down periods. This makes large-scale shredding incredibly time-consuming and impractical.
• Security Concerns: Most personal shredders offer basic strip-cut shredding, which can be easily reassembled. This poses a significant risk, especially for highly confidential information.
• Maintenance and Durability: Personal shredders are prone to jams and malfunctions, often requiring maintenance or replacement, adding unforeseen costs.
• Replacement Costs: Factor in the price of the shredder, replacement blades, electricity consumption, and your valuable time spent shredding.

Advantages of Professional Shredding Services:

• High-Security Standards: Professional services utilize industrial-grade shredders with advanced shredding techniques, ensuring your documents are destroyed beyond reconstruction.
• Efficiency and Speed: They can handle large volumes of documents rapidly, saving you significant time and effort.
• Certified Destruction: Professional services provide certificates of destruction, offering legal compliance and peace of mind.

Knowing your sensitive information has been handled securely offers invaluable peace of mind. Investing in Shred-it’s services ensures your documents are securely destroyed without hidden costs or fees.

Cost of Shredding with Shred-it

To be able to accommodate the needs of both large and small organizations, as well as individuals, Shred-it follows a standard pricing model for most of our services.

The shredding fee covers a minimum number of boxes of paper or hard drives.

If you have more than the minimum number, there is a per box/per hard drive rate that fluctuates based on the number and volume of items. So, for example, the more boxes a facility wants to destroy, the lower the per-box price. Media destruction and specialty shredding have more customized pricing models, depending on the materials involved.

Ensure your sensitive documents are securely destroyed with Shred-it's trusted shredding services. Don't leave your data vulnerable—schedule your secure document destruction today and enjoy peace of mind knowing your information is protected.
