We researched mobile shredding trucks for years until finally we found a truck that met our high quality standards. Last year we purchased what we feel like is the best truck available.
- Our fully automated shredding truck destroys your documents using a “no touch” process. The lid does not open until it is tipped into the shredder. This truly locks down your chain of custody, giving you further piece of mind. (Some of our competitors shred offsite or use older shredding technology that is far less secure.)
- An external viewing monitor is available for you to witness the destruction of your documents.
- Our shredder is incredibly powerful and is run off of the truck’s main diesel motor. In fact, there is no need to even remove staples, paperclips, etc. from your documents.
- Our truck has a huge payload capability. We can handle your destruction needs quickly and easily...and in one trip.
- The speed and efficiency of our shredding truck makes our service less expensive than the competition.
- Our truck is equipped with a GPS navigation system, so getting to your location is never a problem.

Recycling is the environmentally friendly thing to do, so we are proud to recycle all of the paper that we shred. This recycled paper, compared to regular 'virgin' paper:- Reduces demand on forests
- Uses less total energy
- Uses less bleach
- Produces fewer toxic releases
- Saves water
- Reduces waste that otherwise must be landfilled or incinerated
In fact, in 2015 Shredding and Storage Unlimited recycled almost 2 million pounds of paper and cardboard. That means that over the course of the year we helped our customers save a total of:
- 17,000 trees from being cut down
- 91,000kg of CO2 (carbon dioxide) from being produced
- 64,000 gallons of oil from being burned
- 3,500 cubic yards of landfill from being filled
- 42,000 gallons of fuel from being used
- 4,210,000 kWh of energy from being used
- 7,600,000 gallons of water from being used
-
- Many of our customers have saved up to 50% on their on-site shredding costs.
- By using our service your staff will have more time to focus on more important tasks.
- No more wasted time in front of slow, finicky, office sized paper shredders.
- No more disposal or recycling charges - Shredding and Storage Unlimitedrecycles your paper at no extra cost. (The paper is truly recycled - not reused for things like animal bedding.)
- Discarded shreds only tell the bad guys what to take. Shredded materials from an office shredder are relatively easy to put back together. There is even a service available that electronically scans shreds for the purpose of reconstructing documents. However, in our shredding trucks your materials are mixed with papers from dozens of other businesses, so it is virtually impossible to reconstruct any single document. Plus, since we recycle the shredded materials, our process does not create a situation where shredded materials are retrievable by unauthorized personnel.
- Employees don't faithfully use shredders. Employees in most small and medium sized businesses are already overwhelmed with work, so they find it hard to find time to shred all the materials they should. They may place materials near the shredder, but often somebody just throws them away to avoid the hassle and mess. Shredding and Storage Unlimited simplifies the process for your employees by providing secure containers for storage of the materials to be shredded.
- Shredding yourself provides no record of compliance. In the event of a privacy violation, complaint or audit, it is very likely that you will be asked to verify your compliance to information protection regulations. Using our service gives you a verified, ongoing record of regular compliance with legally mandated information destruction requirements.
- Employees should not handle some sensitive information. If you shred yourself, then it is left to either entry-level employees, who probably shouldn't see the materials that need shredding, or to management-level employees, who are highly paid for more important work. Outsourcing to Shredding and Storage Unlimitedsolves this problem. Information destruction happens very quickly with little, if any, handling by our screened personnel.
- No repairs or maintenance costs to worry about, or plastic bags to buy. Office shredders break down - even more so if you truly use them to shred everything you should. When this happens, the materials to shred pile up until the shredder is fixed or replaced. This burden can become great enough that employees will cut corners and dispose of the materials unshredded in order to catch up. If you use Shredding and Storage Unlimited then you don't have to worry about equipment breakdowns. Your solution to information destruction compliance is secure, quick and convenient.
- Office shredders can't handle large record purges. Whether you are cleaning old records out of a storage facility, or someone just cleaned out their office, chances are that a small office shredder won't be able to handle the large volume. The risk is that someone will simply decide not to shred the materials to avoid the hassle.Shredding and Storage Unlimited's industrial shredders can destroy hundreds of pounds of material per minute. Even a major purge of records doesn't give our equipment the slightest problem. Our mobile shredding trucks are capable of shredding up to 6,000 lb. per hour - that's the equivalent of 335 full file boxes.
- Office shredders can't handle some materials. The papers that need to be shredded are often held together by binders, paper clips, staples and covers. These items normally need to be removed as the office shredders will not handle them. Office shredders also can't handle the tapes, CDs, and other media that also hold sensitive material needing to be destroyed. However, our large industrial shredders can handle anything you throw at them.
- Old computers also need secure disposal. Before you recycle, discard, donate, or sell that old computer, you MUST make sure it has NO personal or competitive information left on it. Countless news stories around the world have reported on organizations getting in significant legal trouble because confidential information was found on discarded computers. Shredding and Storage Unlimited is composed of information destruction professionals, so we can help you clean out those old computers.
