North American Shredding is a nationwide paper-shredding service that will either shred your stored documents or help you with regularly scheduled service. This paper-shredding service will visit your home or office on a weekly basis and shred everything you need destroyed. It is a terrific and secure option to help you protect your and your customers' private data. However, there are fewer shredding options for other information-storage items, such as X-rays, than there are with some other similar companies.

Whatever your reason for looking for a paper-shredding service, security and convenience are some of the most important factors in selecting one. This is why a group called the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) certifies paper-shredding services. NAID will ensure that the paper-shredding service you use follows state and federal regulations for document destruction. North American Shredding is NAID certified.

One option that this paper-shredding service does not have is different sizes in paper shredding. Also, other similar services have a certificate of destruction that they give you after destruction, but this paper-shredding service does not have that option.

The price we received from this document-shredding company for a one-time shred at our location in a metropolitan area for 30 pounds, or about two boxes, of paper was around $35. This price will change depending on your location and amount of documents to shred. When the shredding truck arrives at your home or office, you can load your paper into a box that the employees will directly empty into the shredder. No one will view or touch the documents. This is done to protect the privacy and security of your documents.

The regularly scheduled paper-shredding service price was around $25 each visit. This was based on a weekly pickup in a metropolitan area with one box of paper being shredded every week. This service can be scheduled for whatever interval you need. When you sign up for this service, you will be given a secure box to store in your office where you can deposit your papers. When the truck stops by your office, the employees will load the contents of the box directly into the shredder.

This paper-shredding service will help you destroy some information-storage devices, such as laptops and hard drives. However, other options that similar companies offer are not available. For products such as casino chips and video cassettes, it's best to find another company.

When we contacted the customer-support team, we were connected after a couple of business days. The customer-support representatives were helpful and friendly, but it took longer to connect with the team than it did with the customer-service departments at similar services.
