Is shipping our sensitive material to you secure? Back to Top
Yes, the process is a secure method of destruction. The items are securely and quickly shipped to the shredding facility, and there the box tracking numbers are recorded and logged. Afterwards, the papers go through the shredder and a certificate of destruction is sent for your records.

No. Materials must be shipped according to content, which you select when you print the label.

FedEx picks up at most residences but not all. However, you can always take your box to the nearest FedEx ground facility.
