Paper Shredding Services in Matthews, NC
Matthews Shredding, Run From Our Own Yard
For once the honest answer to paper shredding near me in Matthews is genuinely nearby, because our headquarters and shred fleet are based here, on Independence Commerce Drive. Records Reduction has operated from Matthews since 1998. Trucks leave from this yard every working day, so a Matthews address can usually be fitted into the schedule quickly, and walk-in drop-offs are welcome at the office.

Matthews Shredding Questions
What Matthews callers ask most: whether you can drop paper at the office, which nearby towns the route covers, what shredding costs by the pound, and how purges are handled.
Both ways work here, because this is home. Our Matthews office at 2032-F Independence Commerce Drive takes walk-in drop-offs during business hours, which is the simplest route for a box or two. There is no need to book anything — bring it in and we will handle it.
For anything larger, a mobile shred truck comes to your address and destroys the paper on site while you watch. The fleet is based in this yard, so Matthews jobs slot into the schedule easily. Call (704) 351-0949 and we will tell you which is the better use of your time.
Matthews sits in Mecklenburg County on the Union County line, so the route runs in every direction. It covers Matthews, Mint Hill, Stallings, Indian Trail, Weddington, Wesley Chapel, Pineville, Waxhaw and Monroe, plus Charlotte itself, Harrisburg and Concord to the north, and Fort Mill over the South Carolina line.
Because the trucks are based here, this is the densest part of our schedule — scheduled service, one-time purges and community shred events all run from this yard. Volume still sets the price rather than distance, but Matthews addresses are the easiest to fit in at short notice.
Paper shredding runs 15 to 30 cents per pound, with the rate dropping as volume goes up — for comparison, retail shipping-store shredding starts north of a dollar a pound. Larger jobs are usually quoted by the container instead: one 95-gallon Defender holds eight to ten banker boxes, up to about 300 pounds.
Locked containers and executive consoles are free with scheduled service, and every job ends with a Certificate of Destruction for your compliance file. You do not need to pull staples, paper clips or rubber bands, and file folders, binders, manuals and old media can go in the same bin. Quotes are free, and if you are weighing that against keeping a shredder in the office, our shredding calculator puts a number on what the staff time actually costs you.
Yes, and being local makes big jobs simpler to stage. Matthews medical practices, law offices, contractors, dealerships and light manufacturers all use purge visits when a records room or a storage unit finally has to be cleared, and the truck can run repeatedly through the day for volumes that do not fit a single load.
This is also where the rest of the service list is easiest to combine. Hard drive and e-waste destruction, uniform shredding, X-ray film, offsite storage and document scanning all run out of this building. Call (704) 351-0949 and we will quote it as one project.
