Residential Shredding

Most of our first customers were homeowners. A filing cabinet full since the nineties, a closet of tax returns, a basement of a parent's paperwork. We come to the house, carry it out, and shred it in the driveway while you watch.

What people bring us

• Bank and credit card statements, cancelled checks
• Tax returns and supporting documents past seven years
• Medical bills and explanation-of-benefits letters
• Expired IDs, insurance cards, pre-approved credit offers
• A relative's entire filing cabinet after a death or a move

How much it costs

$10 per standard box, $8 a box after the seventh, plus a flat $75 travel charge within an hour of Galion. Most homes are 3 to 15 boxes. Use the calculator on the pricing page for a number in seconds.

Not sure what to keep?

Our What to Shred guide has a checklist. The short version: keep deeds, titles, wills, current insurance and anything with a current account. Shred everything with a signature, account number or Social Security number that you no longer need.

Estates and downsizing

Helping a parent downsize, or sorting out a family home, usually means a filing cabinet or two that nobody wants to go through. We work around your schedule, carry it all out, and shred it in the driveway so it's one thing off the list. See estate cleanouts.
