FAQ
Our hours of operation are Mon-Fri 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM and Saturdays 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM. Whereas the large corporate shredding companies often require you wait several days or weeks for an appointment, Altitude DocuShred can typically accommodate same-day service requests, if necessary. Should you require our on-site service outside of regular business hours, please submit an online request HERE, and we’ll make every effort to find a scheduling solution to meet your needs.
In addition to all paper products, our state-of-the-art mobile shredder securely destroys hard drives, USB flash drives, X-ray films, CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and DVDs, and microfiche.
There is no need for you to remove your files from hanging folders prior to shredding. Additionally, you need not worry about removing staples, paper clips, binder clips, or any type of spiral notebook binding. We do ask, however, that you refrain from including 3-ring binders with your materials.
Absolutely! Altitude DocuShred is pleased to provide on-site secure shredding at your business or residence.
Sometimes referred to as scheduled shredding, Recurring Service provides your business the convenience of a regularly scheduled service agreement. We start by delivering locked and secure stationary (or rolling) bins to your place of business. We then work with you to build a service solution that best meets the needs of your business. Options for recurring service are as follows:
- Weekly
- Every 2 weeks
- Every 4 weeks
- Every 8 weeks
- Every 12 weeks
Never. We believe that providing fair pricing and trusted service is a better way to keep your business than locking you into a contract.
Altitude DocuShred will issue you a Certificate of Destruction following every service visit. This document serves as evidence of secure destruction of your materials, and as proof required for GDPR, HIPAA, FACTA, and GLA compliance audits.
On-demand shredding can be thought of as a one-time service, whereby we provide your material destruction on an as-needed basis.
Yes, we will. Keep in mind, if you’re moving out of a storage unit, you’ll need to plan for the removal and disposal of storage boxes and containers.
Yes! While most shredding providers do not transport boxes up or down stairs, we understand the value of offering “above and beyond” solutions to our customers. Understandably, this added convenience demands additional time and risk considerations for our on-site service representatives and therefore necessitates a per-box stair fee.
Don’t worry that your material isn’t packed neatly into boxes. Simply gather it together in one accessible area, and we’ll take care of the rest. Because cardboard boxes rarely present a privacy concern, we don’t typically shred them. We’ll gladly return your boxes to you upon completion of service.
Never! Altitude DocuShred guarantees the strictest chain of custody when it comes to your private documents. Because we operate on-site only, you can rest assured the confidentiality of your records is maintained throughout the shred project.
Absolutely! The control panel on our mobile shred truck is equipped with a display screen allowing you to watch as your materials are shred in live time.
At Altitude DocuShred, we are committed to environmentally responsible business practices. 100% of your shredded paper is securely transported to a recycling facility. There, it’s baled and delivered to a paper mill where it’s mixed with water and chemicals inside machines called pulpers. Mixed-paper fibers are smaller than cardboard, for example, so they are recycled into lower grade post-paper products such as brown bags, toilet paper, tissue paper and newsprint.
Manual shredding is a tedious, time-consuming process. Your employees’ time is far too valuable to be spent feeding documents one-by-one into a shredder that jams, requires multiple emptying, and often ends up as an unofficial “waiting-to-be-shred” area where sensitive documents sit unattended. Factor in the costs of purchasing and maintaining your own shredder coupled with disposal expenses, you’ll likely find Altitude DocuShred’s service is a more cost-effective, efficient, and secure solution to your shredding needs.
At Altitude DocuShred, there’s no service call too small. We don’t impose a minimum weight or quantity requirement in order to schedule on-site shredding.
There’s no service call too big, either. Our Altitude DocuShred state-of-the-art mobile shredding truck can pulverize 8,000 pounds of paper in a single service - up to 4 cubic tons. If we should reach volume capacity before your service is complete, we’ll transport your shredded material to the recycling center, and return promptly to finish the job.
