Off-Site Shredding: Your Documents
Destroyed at Your Doorstep
We drive to your New Hampshire home or business, collect your sensitive documents in locked security containers, and shred everything at our certified facility the same day. No trips across the border. No waiting for a quote. Just secure, documented destruction — with a Certificate of Destruction in your hands by the end of the day.
What Is Off-Site Shredding — and Why Does It Work?
Off-site shredding is the alternative to mobile shredding trucks — without the sticker shock. Instead of bringing an industrial shredder to your parking lot (and charging a premium for the convenience), we collect your documents in locked, tamper-evident security containers and shred them at our certified Tewksbury, MA facility the same day.
The result is identical security at 40–60% lower cost. Your documents are never accessible once our employee takes possession. The chain of custody is documented at every step. And the notarized Certificate of Destruction we issue satisfies HIPAA, FACTA, SOX, and NH RSA 359-C compliance requirements just as fully as any on-site service.
For NH businesses, medical practices, law firms, and households with more material than is practical to transport, off-site pickup is the most efficient and affordable path to certified document destruction.

From your first call to your Certificate of Destruction — four steps, no surprises.

How the Bin Program Works
We deliver 96-gallon lockable security containers to your office and position them wherever document accumulation is highest — beside copiers, in file rooms, at reception.

This is the most cost-effective and compliance-ready solution for NH medical practices, law firms, accounting offices, and any business with continuous weekly or monthly shredding needs. Call (978) 636-0301 to set up a bin program at your location.
