What can I expect after my online order is placed?

Shredding
Why should I shred my documents?
Secure shredding allows businesses to safely destroy unnecessary paper based documents that may contain confidential information. Shredding can help prevent identity theft and data breaches - and can help to free up space, and recycle documents.
How do I prepare for my One-Time Bulk Shredding service?
Once you place your order online, you will be contacted by one of our Customer Support teammates to schedule the service date.
If using the Offsite service, all material that needs to be destroyed should be placed in a dry box with a lid or in bins/bags easily accessible for our driver to pick up. If the material is in bags or storage bins, you will need to place it into an Iron Mountain shredding bin that our driver will provide on the day of service. There is no need to purchase boxes.
If using the Onsite service, all material that needs to be destroyed should be easily accessible by our driver when they arrive with the mobile shredding vehicle.
Can you pick up from my house or storage unit?
We do service some residential locations, please contact us to verify that your location is accessible. Services such as Onsite Shredding require larger streets, longer processing times and produce substantial noise. Please be aware if your neighborhood or street has limitations regarding these things and large vehicles.
Is the paper shredded onsite?
If using the Offsite service, 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.
If using the Onsite service, paper will be shredded onsite using a specially equipped mobile shredding vehicle.
