How does Corodata charge for shredding services?

Pricing:

  • Off-site shredding: averaging at $6.70 per box (minimum $89-$109)
  • On-site shredding: averaging at $7.20 per box (minimum $99-$119)
  • Recurring service: Starts at $39/month

How should I prepare my materials for shredding?

Preparing your materials for shredding is simple, and we offer flexible options to meet your needs:

  • Banker Boxes: If your documents are already packed in standard banker boxes, you're all set! Our team will pick up the sealed boxes directly from your location and shred the contents securely.
  • Loose Materials or Trash Bags: If your materials aren’t boxed and are instead in trash bags or loose, we recommend using our secure 64-gallon shredding bins. We'll deliver the bins to your facility, and you can fill them up at your convenience. Shredding is then billed per bin.

If you’re unsure how to prep or want guidance on what option works best for you, our team is happy to help. Contact us.
