Need a company who can come to my home and shred stuff

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a company who will shred 5-10 boxes of paper on site (either I bring it to them and they shred it right away, or they come to my house and do the same?) I’ve looked into a few shredding companies, but most of them take your stuff and lock it in a secure bin and then shred it at some point down the road. For most sensitive documents, I’d be okay with this, but my old tax returns, which also include all supporting bank statements, etc, I don’t think this is a good idea.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks very much!

How about getting a shredder and hire a teenager by the hour?

Try this place. http://www.securis.com/residential/

We have used the Chantilly location in the past for paper shredding. When we went, there was a shredding truck on location.

If you live in MoCo, they have a free public shredding event once every 1-2 months. You drive up, and somene takes the boxes out of your car and it gets loaded into an on-site shredder.

Arlington county has shredding day. Huge shredder set up and you feed your content in and watch it get shredded.

DC offers shredding the first Saturday of the month at Fort Totten. There is a limit on the number of boxes you may bring.

Get a 50 gallon drum, some lighter fluid.

I think Iron Mountain has a residential service.

Eh, I have taken it to the UPS store and they put it in the bin until they shred it and I'm fine with that.

Worst case OP you could buy a shredder and do it yourself. It's faster than you think.

It’s been several years since I lived in MD but I used to take my stuff to a place in Gaithersburg that offered free shredding for individuals. It was free if you left it with them in the bin but I believe you could pay a fee to watch it get shredded.

Newschannel 4 does a community shred several times per year.

The lines are long but very efficient. They dump it into the shredders right there.
