Secure Document Destruction & Shredding on Long Island & NYC
Holding onto outdated documents can expose your business to unnecessary risk. Old financial records, employee files, and patient paperwork may seem harmless, but if they fall into the wrong hands, the consequences can be serious.

Whether you’re clearing out storage, disposing of sensitive files, or meeting retention deadlines, we’ll make sure your records are destroyed safely, responsibly, and in full compliance with industry regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know my documents were securely destroyed?
You’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction after each service, verifying that your records were shredded in compliance with all relevant regulations.
Can I schedule recurring shredding pickups?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduled shredding plans—weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed.
Do you offer shredding for documents stored offsite with you?
Yes. We can securely destroy stored records once they reach the end of their retention period.
Why can’t I just shred my documents myself?
Personal or office shredders often can’t handle large volumes, don’t meet compliance standards, and may leave documents partially readable. Plus, managing shredding in-house takes time away from more important work.
