Secure, confidential, and convenient document shredding, direct to your front door.
It only takes a few pieces of junk mail to open the door to identity theft. Residential document shredding makes 100% certain they never get the chance.
Few of us think twice before tossing away a credit card solicitation or an old letter, but all of us should. Documents that contain personally identifiable information (PII) create the risk of identity theft when they’re improperly thrown away.
Residential shredding services protect you and your family by making sure that your information is securely destroyed and recycled. Secure Shredding & Recycling is proud to serve households across Louisiana with confidential, friendly, and professional service.
Residential Shredding Services
Residential shredding allows you to guarantee the safe disposal of your personal information without interrupting the rest of your day. The on-site, in-person shredding means that you can watch the process immediately as it happens, allowing you the opportunity to personally verify that each and every paper has been cross-cut to satisfaction.
The document destruction service you’ll receive is performed according to precisely the same industrial standards mandated by state and federal privacy regulations, which means that you’re not just having your papers shredded – you’re having them shredded according to the same standards that protect banks, financial institutions, and government agencies.
What Items Should I Be Shredding?
- Old Tax Records
- Receipts
- Pay Stubs
- Mail Containing PII
- Bank Statements
- Outdated Forms of ID
- School Report Cards
Why Do I Need Residential Document Shredding?
When your identity is stolen, it costs an average of $1,343 and 7 hours of time to get it back (or, at least, to get it back from that particular individual). More often than not, once your identity is compromised, it’ll happen again. Residential document shredding prevents your papers from being lost or stolen in the first place, and you can choose how often the shredding occurs based on the volume of items you have to shred. In thirty minutes or less, your documents will be destroyed past the point of any reconstruction or retrieval, and you’ll be able to carry on with your day as usual.
The only thing you have to do is gather the materials you’d like shredded. Don’t worry about removing staples, rubber bands, or paper clips; our equipment is strong enough to process those as well, and all non-paper materials will be sorted out from the cross-cut particles before recycling.
How It Works
Experts Arrive On-Site at Your Home
After the details of your residential shredding appointment have been finalized, one of our uniformed shredding technicians will arrive at your door with one of our state-of-the-art shredding vehicles. Simply direct them to the materials you’ve set aside for shredding – they’ll handle the rest.
Our Document Shredding Process
- Our uniformed representative will greet you, introduce themselves, and collect the items you’ve set aside for shredding.
- Your documents will be emptied directly into the internal shredding system of our truck.
- In minutes, your papers will be cross-cut into tiny, confetti-like pieces. Exponentially more secure than “spaghetti strand” shredding and nearly impossible to reconstruct, you’ll be able to watch our shredding process in person if you wish.
- After your papers have been processed, we’ll provide you with a Certificate of Destruction, verifying that you entrusted your documents into our care and that they were destroyed according to the latest privacy regulations.
Peace of Mind With Residential Shredding
When all it takes for a thief to make trouble is a name and an address, your best bet to prevent identity theft is good stewardship of your personal information. When you call Secure Shredding & Recycling for residential service, you’ll be able to relax with the knowledge that the papers you shredded – and the information they contained – are gone for good. You can also be proud of the fact that by choosing us, you’re making the decision to have your items recycled locally, instead of contributing to landfill buildup.
Give us a call, gather your documents, and relax.
