What is off-site shredding?

Off-site shredding (also called plant-based shredding) means material is collected from the client and shredded later at the shredding company's plant.

How it works

The driver swaps or empties the client's bins into a locked truck, gives the client a pickup receipt, and hauls the material to the plant. There it's received, stored securely and destroyed in a shredding run. The certificate of destruction goes out after that run.

What to watch

Because material spends time in transit and at the plant, the chain of custody needs every step recorded: collected, received at the plant, destroyed. Material that sits too long is a risk worth watching.
