Residential Shredding Services

Secure Document Destruction for Individuals

More than half of identity theft in the U.S. takes place through non-digital means. Document destruction helps prevent “analog theft” which can involve any physical form of personal information, including paper utility bills, unused checks, old ID cards or even junk mail. The best way to protect yourself and your family is to securely destroy these vulnerable items by shredding them. Residential shredding services are far safer than using a personal home shredder, let alone placing private documents straight in the recycle bin. Proshred® provides the same professional document shredding services, with the same quality of protection, for your personal records as we offer businesses. Our mobile residential shredding services are convenient, with easy pick-ups and on-site shredding. Request a free quote today.

Benefits of Residential Document Shredding

Over the years, you accumulate a variety of confidential, sensitive, or personal documents that you cannot just throw in the trash for anyone to see. Professional shredders use cross-cutting to offer superior document destruction than home shredders. If you have tax documents, health insurance bills, and other health records in your home office, you can be at risk of identity theft or having your personal information exposed. Home shredders do not offer the kind of protection you need.

With the growth of work from home, whether permanently or temporarily, it’s also important to meet compliance requirements and avoid breaches of confidential work information. Our convenient shredding process includes easy on-site shredding — with contactless pick-up available — and responsible recycling of shredded waste. Now is the time to set up a residential shredding plan with Proshred®

Choose Personal Shredding Services Tailored to Your Needs

Protecting your personal information at home is every bit as important as protecting sensitive information at work. At home, you need the same secure level of document destruction, if not quite as often. Proshred® personalizes its shredding service to fit the needs of each residential customer.

We offer our residential clients options for addressing their paper shredding needs, including:

Residential Mobile Shredding

The process of residential mobile shredding is quick and convenient. A shredding truck comes to you, picks up your paper or other materials, shreds them onsite, and provides you with a certificate of destruction. Security cameras let you watch the whole process. Then, we take away the waste and dispose of it responsibly. Contact-less pick-up is available.

Drop-Off Shredding for Residential Customers

If you have a small amount of sensitive documents and prefer to come to us, it may be cost efficient to take advantage of our drop-off services. Bring your materials to the nearest Proshred® drop-off location. We will shred them and provide you with a certificate of destruction.

With either on-site or drop-off services, Proshred® can professionally destroy papers, binders, hard drives or products to protect your privacy and intellectual property.

What Are People Saying About Proshred®

Steve M.
They are very professional. The drivers are very polite and friendly. They do not rush the service of on-site shredding. Had a new driver Nate. He just started with Proshred and was very knowledgeable. Thank you for a job well done.
Pat F.
We recently sold a business and had many boxes of papers to shred. Spoke with Mara in the a.m., by 3:30 all 30+ boxes were shredded. Everyone was pleasant to deal with. Thank you PROSHRED! Highly recommend!
Jay R.
Outstanding service from Lamont and Steven.

Today, Tuesday, 1/10/23, at 2:00 PM, I went to Pro Shred located in Elmsford to drop off two bags of papers. I was not aware that they did not accept cash or Apple Pay.

I am a first time customer, so I did not know the payment method. Met with Lamont, who explained they did not accept cash, however, he did look into the Apple Pay. This is when I met with Steven, who, like Lamont, spoke in a friendly and professional manner. Steven explained an alternative way, which I’d gladly accepted. Overall, the friendly and professional service I received from Steven in Lamont was exceptional. Thank you very much!

I was very pleased to know that they were NOT Dallas Cowboy fans!

Go Giants!

I had a very large shredding job with Pro Shred. From the time that they quoted the job through the end of the shredding process they were beyond professional, knowledgeable, and fair. I've dealt with a lot of shredding companies over the years. The industry seems to be filled with companies that do what I call a bait and switch. They quote you the job based on the number of boxes and then when they get to the site it changes to the amount of materials that fit in a large rolling garbage bin.

When contract a job I am very specific about wanting to be charged what I am quoted. Usually I can't even get past the quoting when other companies start saying they will do it by box and then start talking about bin size on the phone. Pro Shed and Tara who quoted the job, did not play any games with me. They quoted a box price and then honored the box price. Not only was Tara grear, but when the guys showed up to do the shredding, they were professional, friendly, confident, and hard-working. Everything went as planned straight through the payment. I would refer anyone to this company at any time, because I feel comfortable that they did a good job for me and would do a good job forgrade,

I needed a little more shredding done, a very small job, just a little residual from the big job at a later date, and they are handling that great as well. I spoke to the manager today about them coming out on Monday for the residual and told him how pleased I was with the service. Unfortunately I can't remember his name but he was so professional as well and I'm so glad that I deal with this company. Don't use anyone else use a class act. ProShred gets 5 starts in all categories.

Thank you so much for all of your help and quality service. We couldn't be happier with the service we have received from you. Our contact Alicia Babin has been outstanding to work with. Highly recommend this company!

ProShred came highly recommended to me for a recent fundraising event. Now I can highly recommend them based on their excellent service, professionalism and assistance in helping with our event. Their personnel were excellent to work with and they gave us great guidance as we put our program together. Thanks to ProShred for a job well done.
Krista S.
Positive experience from beginning to end. I had a consultation and less than a week later Pro Shred was out at my company. Very courteous with their reminders and follow up. The guys were great - came in and introduced themselves, letting us know about the whole process, asking if we had any questions. Can't beat their customer service. And the price was unbeatable!

Pro-Shred is the best thing since sliced bread, and a must for any work-from-home professional. Stop wasting time and money on those forever-jamming dusty and noisy paper shredders. Let Proshred deal with all.
Dave W.
ProShred is easy and inexpensive.

I have limited need for shredding services--every year or two, I need to shred some old credit card slips and bank statements and such. It is always very easy to load 8-10 boxes of stuff in the back of my station wagon, drive it over to ProShred and then unload it into a bin, pay the fee and I'm on my way. Easy peasy. The staff is aways friendly and cheerful; they will do my shredding for the foreseeable future.

Excellent, timely and professional service. But, that's not all: this is a company that GIVES BACK to our communities - by being an active and supportive MEMBER of the Midstate Chamber of Commerce AND they also go above and beyond and host special COMMUNITY shredding events throughout the year, and some of those benefit charitable organizations. That deserves more than 5 stars...
Carol D.
The greatest company very pleasant customer service. Made my appointment,received a follow-up call with delivery time. I was given a 2 hour window and they arrived very early within that window. The two men who came were incredibly kind and very fast. I will recommend Proshred Security to everyone one. Thanks for putting my mind at ease when getting rid of my personal documents.
Elaine H.
Pro-Shred is the greatest thing ever, best $$$$ ever spent. The guy who shredded my documents was courteous, friendly and professional. Years of paper clutter was gone within minutes, as I stood and watched. Thank you Pro-Shred!
