Pricing
We have a 10-box minimum which means that if you have anywhere from one box up to 10, this material is included in the minimum charge. Any box after 10, we charge a per-box price. The minimum is waived for significant box quantity. What if my material is not in a box?
Shredding quantity determines price. The more you have, the lower the price. Five boxes or less is what we consider to be small amount to shred. You can still utilize the Mobile Paper Shredding service, however, we give you some other options to save on price. For example, if have a busy schedule, you may want to consider taking your material to a Shred It for Less™ location.
Timing
Regardless of quantity, the mobile shredding equipment can make short work of intact paper. For example, it takes approximately two minutes to shred a large container of paper. Since we measure paper quantity by the box, we use our mobile containers. These are the same containers used by the truck to lift and dump paper into the shredding machine. We know that each container holds six boxes. Let’s say you have 20 boxes and somewhere to go. The total shred time will take approximately 10 minutes to shred 20 boxes.
Getting Ready
Delays in mobile paper shredding are caused by material that cannot be shredded. Before your material is dumped into the container, we do a quick scan. If your material has any of the items listed below, then we promptly separate the material from the paper and continue. Here, we look at the material for items we cannot or prefer not to shred.
The following table lists the most common items considered as contaminants to paper recyclers:
| Material Type | Description | Allowable Form |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic | Plastic overwrap, bags, folders, sheet protectors | Cut out address label |
| Hanging File Folder | Army-green color with metal arms | Remove metal |
| Cardboard | Check boxes, receipt holder | Empty checks, receipts |
| Vinyl | Check book covers | Remove vinyl cover |
| Glossy Paper | Magazines | Cut out address label |
