What In-House Shredding Really Costs

Office shredders hide their real price in staff time. Enter headcount, minutes per day, and wage below, and this shredding cost calculator shows the cost of in-house shredding each month — before supplies or compliance risk.

Total Monthly Cost: $0.00

That is $0.00 per year in staff time alone.

We Shred It So Your Staff Doesn't Have To

That monthly number is only the wage. It does not count the shredder, bags, or the compliance risk of a bin sitting by the copier. Commercial shredding from Records Reduction puts locked containers in your Charlotte office, shreds on-site while you watch, and leaves a Certificate of Destruction.

We are NAID AAA certified and HIPAA compliant, and paper runs 15 to 30 cents a pound — less than the labor on the left. Call (704) 351-0949 for a shredding price estimate.

Watch Your Documents Destroyed, Then Take the Certificate

Our mobile trucks shred at your curb, and you are welcome to watch the whole load go through the viewing station. Every job at Records Reduction is handled under strict chain of custody by background-checked staff, and it ends with a Certificate of Destruction listing the date, the location, and what was destroyed. The shredded paper is then baled and recycled, all of it. Nothing gets stored, sorted, or hauled away intact.

“They pulled the truck right up to our building and we watched every box go in. Scheduling was easy, the price was exactly what we were quoted, and the certificate was in my inbox the same afternoon. This is how it should work.”
