Identity theft is a serious crime that can take years to recover from, and unfortunately, it’s on the rise. According to Javelin Strategy and Research, in 2017 there were over 16 million victims—a record high.Keeping your personal information safe is important now more than ever. Residential shredding services provide an excellent means of safely disposing of old files. Bank statements, old rental agreements, receipts, and even junk mail all need to be shredded to ensure you don’t risk PII getting into the wrong hands.Weather you are moving or spring cleaning, using a shredding service that comes to your home to shred your files will help you quickly and safely dispose of identifying documents.
Residential Shredding Service Options
The service you choose mostly depends upon how much you have to shred, but you should also consider where you are located, as being farther away from the shredder can increase the price of your project.
Drop Off Shredding
For smaller shredding projects, drop off shredding is your best option. There are thousands of drop off shredding centers located throughout the U.S.—just find the one nearest you and drive your files over.
You will pay by the pound—the industry average is around $1 per pound, but prices vary.
Mobile Shredding Service
A more convenient solution is having a mobile shred truck equipped with an industrial strength shredder stop by your location and shred your files onsite while you watch.
With this service you get the convenience of the shredder coming to you and hauling your files out to the truck for you, and you get to watch the shredding process for extra security.
Offsite Shredding Service
If you don’t need to watch your files being destroyed, there are also pickup options. Having a shredder stop by and load your files into a secure truck to shred at an offsite facility is just as convenient, and usually costs a little less.
