A mobile shred truck comes equipped with industrial shredders that can destroy up to 8,000 pounds of paper an hour, as well as shred CDs, hard drives, and more. The truck’s control panel opens a mechanical arm to secure your shred bin to the automatic grip lift system. Then, the bin is lifted and the materials are dumped into the truck’s hopper lid. The empty bin will go back down and another can take its place if needed. The contents of the bin(s) run through the shredder that rips and shreds your materials. Lastly, the shreds mix and compact with materials from other stops.

On average, mobile shredding costs $130-$175 for projects of 1-10 boxes. However, the price will depend on your location, project size, and other factors. Once you contact us with the details of your project, we will be able to give you accurate price quotes from service providers in your area.

Mobile shredding is the most secure shredding service you can get. Your service providers will give you locking shred bins that are lifted directly into the shred truck’s shredder so the service provider will never come into contact with any of your documents. In addition, you get to watch the whole process happen and still receive a certificate of destruction for your records when the process is complete.

With recurring or scheduled services, you can have your service provider come to your location weekly, monthly, or quarterly, depending on your needs. In addition, your service provider will provide you with locked shred bins to hold your documents until your decided shred day.
