Frequently Asked Questions

What services does SRS offer?

SRS offers shredding, storage, and scanning as stand-alone services. However, many of our clients choose a comprehensive document management approach, which involves a custom combination of our shredding, storage, indexing, scanning, and scan-on-demand services.

How much do SRS’s services cost?

It depends. Every client’s situation is unique; therefore, our pricing reflects each business’s needs. Factors involved in pricing include the type of service needed, the frequency, the volume, the complexity, the type and number of shredding consoles needed, and the type of shredding needed (onsite v. offsite). One of our sales associates will be happy to get you a custom quote for your needs, typically within one business day!

Why should I outsource my shredding?

To sleep soundly knowing your information is secure. In fact, it is also the law to shred any document that contains any private information such as phone numbers, account numbers, addresses, social security numbers, etc. Shredding protects yourself, your clients and your business.

 

What is the difference between mobile and offsite shredding?

In mobile shredding, we shred your documents before leaving your parking lot using our mobile shredding fleet. In offsite shredding, we take the documents back to our secure facility for shredding. It is important to note that both mobile and offsite shredding are equally secure.We are NAID AAA-Certified for both methods, and we guarantee our work. No matter which solution you ultimately choose, your sensitive information will be securely destroyed.

Do I have to remove staples, rubber bands or paperclips before the documents are shredded?
