Secure shredding, done in front of you.

How we can help
Pick a single cleanout or a standing pickup schedule. Either way, the shredder comes to you.
One-Time Shredding (purge shredding)
A garage full of old files, a storage unit clean-out, or a single filing cabinet — we handle it in one visit and give you a certificate when we're done.

You watch it happen
Documents go straight from your boxes into the shredder. No sorting off-site.
You get proof
A signed certificate of destruction, plus the paper is recycled afterward.
Proof, not promises
Every job — one box or one truckload — ends with a dated, signed certificate of destruction. If you're ever asked to show due diligence for a compliance audit or an insurance claim, that document is your answer.
We're a Galion-based, service-disabled veteran-owned crew — not a national franchise. The owner is a U.S. Army intelligence veteran who still holds an active TS/SCI clearance, so your documents are in the hands of someone who has spent a career protecting things that mattered.
Certificate of Destruction
Handled the way we were trained to handle classified information
Before starting Mid-Ohio Paper Shredding, owner Collin Lawrence served as a U.S. Army intelligence analyst and paratrooper with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and still holds an active TS/SCI clearance. We're not guys off the street with a truck — we treat your records with the same discipline. Read Collin's story
Hard drives and electronics? We shred paper. For media destruction and electronics recycling we recommend our partner Mansfield Technologies, a veteran-owned company in Mansfield that destroys drives on-site with NSA-listed equipment. How we work together
A hospital paid $800,000 for boxes left in a driveway.
A one-location pharmacy paid $125,000 for a dumpster. A mortgage broker was fined personally for 40 boxes of old files. None of them were hacked — it was all paper in the wrong place.
