Purge Shredding

Call us for one-time cleanouts and large projects! We offer options for us to collect and remove boxes of paper or you can use our large rolling bins. We can remove boxes from basements or upper levels without elevators. We can drop rolling containers off for you to fill or we can fill them on-site. If requested, we can provide you with a two-hour service window the day before and/or a 30-minute call ahead from the driver.

Drop-Off Shredding

Do you have items you need to get rid of now or don't have enough to justify paying for a pick-up? You can drop them off to our facility at any time between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. For a nominal fee, we will add your documents or electronics to our destruction line-up and have you on your way. We take unscheduled drop-off customers regularly and we'll ensure you don't have to wait. Most customers are in-and-out in 10 minutes or less. If you have more than 20 boxes, please call ahead to ensure we'll be able to handle it promptly.

Why Shred with Data Guardian?

It may be required.

There are many laws and regulations in place to protect people and busineses - like you, your customers, patients, and employees, from identity theft and confidential information abuse.

It's good customer relations.

Without proper procedures in place, you may be opening your company up to unnecessary public scrutiny with potentially negative implications.

It's proactive.

Even with minimal access to information, thieves, competitors, and the like can wreak havoc on an individual or business.

It's trackable.

Have the peace of mind and provable security of knowing that your documents are destroyed by a certified third party on a routine basis. We'll provide a Certificate of Destruction to prove your information was destroyed securely.

It protects everyone.

Certain documents shouldn't be exposed to employees, such as human resource and financial information. Outsourcing means you've protected everyone in your organization.

It's cost-effective.

When comparing the staff time and cost of in-office shredders, outsourcing is the most cost-effective option.
