What is a shred console?

A shred console is a locked cabinet with a paper slot, placed in an office so staff can drop confidential paper in it until the shredding company empties it.

Consoles and bins

Consoles look like office furniture and sit near desks and copiers. Wheeled bins (often 32, 64 or 96 gallons) hold more and suit records rooms and busy offices. Both are locked so only the shredding company can open them.

Tracking them

Shredding companies need to know how many consoles and bins are at each site, of which type, and when they were delivered, swapped or removed. That count usually drives pricing, since service is often priced per container.
