Shred a Box combines the benefits of other services into 1 single product. With Shred a Box, you get the best of all worlds with a convenient, secure and cost-effective solution while other services can typically only offer one of these features. Drop off centers and services offered at retail locations are somewhat secure but they require you to transport your materials to them. Mobile shredders are convenient but can charge hefty fees, and at-home shredding units can be a cheaper alternative but are inefficient and a hassle to use. Here’s a chart comparing Shred a Box with the competition.

Keeping your private information secure is our #1 priority. Here is how we make sure it is kept safe every step of the way:
At Shred a Box, we realize your time is valuable. We don’t expect you to transport heavy boxes of files, stand in line or wait around for a mobile unit to show up. Not to mention trying to handle that clumsy office shredder that makes a mess.
Instead, the entire Shred a Box process can be managed without ever leaving the home or office. With your online account, you have 24x7 access to buy boxes, watch videos, download certificates of destruction, add notes to orders and much more. When your boxes are full, scheduling a pickup can be done at your convenience and according to your schedule. Plus, our helpful customer care staff is available by phone or email if you ever need a hand.
With our optional auto-renewal feature we will automatically send you boxes according to your chosen preferences. Our time-based option will resend you boxes every week/month/quarter, or our stock-based option will resend you boxes as you run low on inventory. Enable and set up your auto-renewal preferences on the My Cart page by clicking the icon and take the hassle out of remembering to re-order boxes.
The average retail price on today’s market for secure destruction is approximately $.89 per pound which doesn’t account for your time and gas to transport files, or even provide confirmation that your materials were destroyed. Mobile services don’t require you to transport but instead charge a hefty fee for showing up on top of their per pound price. Depending on your location, Shred a Box is available for a very reasonable average price of $.95 per pound... WITH shipping! See the chart below for more details.
