Why businesses leave the national chains for us
Every differentiator below is something a client told us their previous provider got wrong. We built our operating model around fixing each one.
Flat rates. Zero surprises.
99 cents per pound is the rate. No fuel surcharges, bin rental fees, per-box minimums or administrative charges. The rate you hear on the phone is the rate on your invoice.
Notarized certificate every job
Every single service produces a notarized Certificate of Destruction. This is your legal record for regulatory audits, insurance requirements and compliance frameworks. At no additional charge.
100% recycled, zero landfill
Every pound destroyed goes to a certified paper mill. Nothing reaches a landfill. Recyclability documentation available for ESG reporting, sustainability disclosures and Massachusetts Waste Ban compliance.
Scheduled within 5 business days
Most services scheduled and completed within 5 business days of your first call. No multi-week wait lists. Time-critical jobs (office moves, audit deadlines) accommodated at standard rates.
Locally owned since 2007
Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Not a franchise. Not a national chain. You speak to the people who run the operation. No call centers, no offshore account management, no corporate layers between you and the service.
No prep work on your end
Leave staples, paper clips, binder clips and folders in place. Our industrial equipment handles all standard office fasteners at full shredding speed. Your job is to point to what needs to go. Our job is everything else.
Choosing the right shredding service
The deciding factors are volume and location. If you have less than 100 pounds of documents and can transport them yourself, drop-off shredding at our Tewksbury facility is the most affordable option. If you have more than 100 pounds, multiple boxes or cannot transport the material, off-site pickup makes more practical sense. For volumes over 500 pounds (storage rooms, full filing cabinets, years of archives), the annual purge service is designed for your situation. Call (978) 636-0301 and describe your situation. We will recommend the right service and give you a cost estimate in 5 minutes.
No minimum charge and no minimum volume for any service. A single box of personal documents costs whatever it weighs at 99 cents per pound, typically $15-30 for a standard banker box. We do not have a minimum service fee, bin rental fee or any starting charge. You pay only for the actual weight destroyed.
Yes. Every service we offer produces a notarized Certificate of Destruction documenting the date of service, weight processed and method of destruction. There is no additional charge for the certificate. It satisfies HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA and Massachusetts data privacy law requirements and serves as your legal record for regulatory audits, insurance claims and internal compliance reviews.
Off-site pickup is our standard business shredding service for regular or recurring volumes. Businesses that generate ongoing document destruction needs. The annual purge is specifically designed for large-volume one-time clearouts: storage rooms, filing cabinets, archived records. The key difference is the “You Point. We Haul.” approach of the annual purge service, where our team handles all the physical loading and transport of large volumes. Both services are priced at 99 cents per pound flat with no hidden fees. View the annual purge service page for more detail.
Drop-off service is available to anyone who brings documents to our Tewksbury facility (1215 Main St, Unit 115). Off-site pickup covers all of Greater Boston including Boston, Cambridge, Andover, Billerica, Belmont, Fitchburg, Revere and surrounding communities throughout Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex counties plus southern New Hampshire.
