The One-time shred service on our website is currently all we offer at this time.

Secure shredding allows businesses to safely destroy unnecessary paper based documents that may contain confidential information. Shredding can help prevent identity theft or data breach, free up space, and recycle documents.

Once you place your order online, you will be contacted by one of our Customer Service teammates to schedule the service date.
All material that needs to be destroyed should be placed in a dry box with a lid or in bins/bags easily accessible for pickup.

We do service some residential locations, so please contact us to verify that your location is accessible.

All material that needs to be destroyed should be easily and quickly accessible. If the material is in bags or storage bins, you will need to place it into a Iron Mountain shredding bin that the driver will provide on the day of service. There is no need to purchase boxes.

Paper is picked up from your location and transported to a shredding facility for final shredding. You can request a final "certificate of destruction" once the service is complete.

• Iron Mountain’s InControl® ensures the protection of your information while it is in transit with patented security, real-time tracking, and auditable chain of custody. Our drivers follow strict guidelines and careful instructions during the loading and transport of records.

Protecting our customers’ assets begins the minute we receive them, and doesn’t end until we either return them or securely destroy them. In order to ensure the security of federal agency information assets, we rely on a series of tightly-linked safeguards, which we refer to as a “chain of custody.” This chain of custody is a set of procedures that assigns a unique identifier to each customer asset in Iron Mountain’s possession, enabling it to be tracked constantly, no matter where it is.

A secure Chain of Custody is an important core capability at Iron Mountain because it assures our customers get:

• Secure chain of custody while material is in transit
• Systematic products and processes to detect and correct potential human error
• Real time electronic signatures and receipts
• Audit trail of item level transactions
