WHY CHOOSE SECURE SHREDDING?

Cost Effective

Professional paper shredding and recycling services are more secure and cost-effective than relying on office shredders. In-house shredding wastes valuable employee time and resources, while small shredders are slow, unreliable, and less secure. Consider the cost of even one employee spending just an hour each month shredding documents—then multiply that across your staff. A-1 Shredding’s mobile, secure shredding service not only protects your information but can also save your business money every month. 

Prevents Identity Theft

Identity theft is a serious crime—but it’s also preventable. Every business has a responsibility to safeguard the sensitive information of its customers, clients, employees, and partners. Documents containing names, addresses, Social Security numbers, credit card details, and bank account information must be securely destroyed. Professional shredding and recycling permanently eliminate this data, protecting you, your employees, and your clients. 

Eco Friendly Stewardship

At A-1 Shredding, Inc., security and sustainability go hand in hand. Every 2,000 pounds of paper we recycle saves 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4,000 kilowatts of energy, and 7,000 gallons of water. That’s a 64% energy savings, 58% water savings, and 60 pounds less of air pollution.

Recycling paper also prevents harmful carbon emissions—17 trees can absorb 250 pounds of CO₂ each year, while burning that same ton of paper would release 1,500 pounds of CO₂. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling reduces water pollution by 35% and air pollution by 74% compared to producing new paper.
