No matter your reason for choosing a paper-shredding service, security and convenience are two very important factors. This is why a non-profit group called the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) monitors and certifies paper-shredding services to ensure that it follows all regulations and necessary practices for secure shredding. NAID will make sure the service you use follows state and federal regulations for document shredding. Shred Connect is a NAID-certified company.

One option that this paper-shredding service does not have is different shred sizes. This may not be the most important factor when selecting a paper-shredding service, but it could be a factor to consider if you have especially sensitive information that you need to destroy.

Obtaining a price estimate from a paper-shredding service is often difficult. The pricing structure varies widely based on many factors, including how much you need shredded, where you are located and how often you need the service to come and shred your documents. To obtain a price quote from a service, it is best to speak directly with a sales representative at that service.

The prices we obtained and listed are for a single shred of 30 pounds of paper, or about two boxes, and for a weekly shred of about 15 pounds, or one box, of paper. These price quotes are for a metropolitan area and may be different if you are located in a rural area.

The price for a single shred is about $35 to $40 at our location. The paper-shredding service will come to your office or home and shred your documents as a one-time service. You can load the documents directly into a box which will empty into the shredder in the truck. This is done to protect the security of your documents and to ensure that no one will view or handle any of your documents.

The price per visit for a regularly scheduled paper-shredding service is around $25. You can schedule recurring shredding services for a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or custom duration pickup. Shred Connect will give you a box to store your documents to shred between pickups. When the truck stops by to shred the papers, the documents are loaded directly into the truck and shredded.

Along with paper and documents, this paper-shredding service can destroy other data-collecting devices. It can destroy laptops, hard drives, data discs and many other products that store information. The price for these services can vary widely, so you should contact the company directly to obtain a price quote.
