Off Site Shredding in Seattle

Off site shredding has the advantage of using a larger shredder than the one that can be transported. Where the average mobile shred truck can destroy around 5,000 pounds of paper an hour, a shredder at a plant will destroy upwards of 20,000 pounds an hour. That is ten tons of paper every hour.

Off site shredding complies with all current federal and Washington State privacy laws. However, if you do want to watch the shredding you will need to follow your documents to the plant. This may or may not be an option.
