Shredding
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.
Boxes are not provided by Iron Mountain for shredding orders. Customers must procure boxes individually. If you do not want to procure your own boxes you can look at our Flex Bin Shred product.
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. Also be aware that Drivers are not permitted to enter the residence. All material for residential accounts must be staged ground level outside or in a garage/shed for service. All material for business should be on ground level or having elevator access.
Service can be completed at most residential locations; however, our drivers are able to deny service if they do not think it can be completed safely. If this is the case we will notify you and you will receive a full refund.
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.
The following can be securely shredded:
Depending on your needs, you can select from any combination of 32-gallon shred consoles or 65-gallon shred bins when you speak to a Customer Support Representative after purchase.
You may schedule the pickup service using the Contact Us menu option in the Customer Portal Dashboard or by contacting a support representative via support@express.ironmountain.com or at (888) 703-8127.
You have 30 days starting on your purchase date to fill the bin and schedule the pickup service.
Included in the price, you have a flexible 30-day period to fill up the bin and call for pickup. If more time is needed, no problem - for an additional $50 per bin per month, you can keep the bin for an additional 30 days.
The additional time rental fee is charged in increments of 30 days for $50. There is not a prorated option.
