Residential Shredding and Purge Services

Anything carrying an account number, a Social Security number, a signature, or a medical detail. In practice that means old tax returns past their retention window, bank and brokerage statements, canceled checks, credit card offers, insurance paperwork, pay stubs, expired passports and licenses, and the prescription labels people forget about.

Curbside recycling is not a substitute. A recycling bin sits at the street intact for hours, which is exactly where identity theft starts. If you are unsure whether a stack matters, shred it — the cost difference on a few extra pounds is pennies, and we recycle every pound after destruction anyway.

No. Staples, paper clips, binder clips, and rubber bands all go through the truck without a problem, so there is no prep work waiting for you. File folders, hanging folders, manuals, books, and hardcover binders are fine as well. So are pill bottles, floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, and old backup tapes.

Just leave the boxes or bags where the crew can reach them, in the garage or by the front door. Plastic three-ring binders and laminated sheets are the usual exceptions, and X-ray film is handled as its own service. Mention anything unusual when you book so we bring the right setup.

Those are two of the most common calls we get. Settling a parent's estate often means decades of financial and medical records that nobody wants to sort page by page, and a closing date leaves no time for it. We bring the truck, destroy the load on site, and you can witness every pound go through the viewing station.

Tax season and downsizing moves follow the same pattern. There is no contract and no minimum service cycle for a one-time home visit — you book it once, it is done that day, and you keep the certificate for your own peace of mind. Call (704) 351-0949 to pick a date.
