Wake County Shredding, Destroyed at Your Address

Your files are destroyed in your own parking lot, witnessed if you want, and the paper leaves baled for recycling.

Raleigh Shredding Questions
What Raleigh callers ask most: how on-site destruction works, which Wake County towns the route covers, what paper costs by the pound, and how large office purges are handled.
Call (919) 342-5032 and a mobile shred truck comes to your Raleigh address. The shredder is in the truck, so destruction happens at the curb and only unreadable cross-cut paper is driven away. Downtown offices, practices out along Six Forks and Falls of Neuse, and households in Five Points all get the same visit.
For a single box you are welcome at our Matthews location, though that is a drive from the Triangle. Almost everyone here uses the truck instead, and the per-pound rate improves with volume, so tell us the box count when you call.
All of Wake County — Raleigh itself plus Cary, Garner, Apex, Morrisville, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, Rolesville, Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina — and the Triangle counties either side. West that means Durham, Chapel Hill and Carrboro; southeast it takes in Clayton, Smithfield and Selma.
Scheduled service and one-time purges run on the same route, which is how a state agency on a weekly console swap and a startup clearing out a storage unit can both be routine work. Pricing follows weight, not address, so a Wake Forest office and a downtown tower pay the same rate per pound.
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.
Usually yes, and Raleigh generates a lot of this work. State agencies and contractors, law firms, universities, hospital systems and tech offices all carry retention schedules, and when a lease ends or a records room finally gets cleared the volume is large enough that per-pound pricing lands in your favour. Staff can witness the destruction, and every job closes with a Certificate of Destruction.
Tell us what else is in the room. We destroy hard drives, laptops and backup media, medical film and branded uniforms on the same visit, and records still inside their retention window can be scanned so the paper does not have to be stored. Call (919) 342-5032 to quote it together.
