How Plant-Based Shredding Works

Our step by step process:
1

Collection

We provide secure, lockable containers for your office or facility. Your team simply places confidential documents into these containers as they accumulate. Containers come in various sizes to fit your workspace and volume needs.
2

Scheduled Pick-Up

Our team arrives on your preferred schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or custom) to collect your filled containers. The same trusted local team handles every pickup – we never outsource.
3

Secure Transport

Documents remain locked and secured during transport to our facilities. Our vehicles feature GPS tracking and are operated by trained, vetted professionals who understand the importance of chain of custody.
4

Professional Destruction

At our secure facilities, your documents are shredded using industrial equipment that reduces everything to confetti-sized particles, ensuring complete destruction that meets or exceeds all compliance standards including HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and FERPA.
5

Recycling

All shredded material is 100% recycled, supporting environmental sustainability while protecting your sensitive information
6

Certificate of Destruction

You receive a detailed Certificate of Destruction documenting the date, time, and method of destruction for your compliance records and audit trail.
