Friendly, reliable and quick service is what Somerset Shred Express is all about. No matter the size of your business, Somerset Shred Express offers two main services: scheduled route pickup and one-time purge shredding. If your business needs monthly document shredding, our staff will find the right route shredding solution for you. Need to dispose of unwanted stored records? We suggest our purge “one-time” service.

How It Works

ROUTE: scheduled paper shredding services
Once you speak with one of our customer service representatives, they will help you determine the best solution for your shredding needs. As a route customer, you will receive a lockable, secure bin or console free of charge. Place the container wherever your staff wants to discard confidential, sensitive documents. Staples and paper clips are no problem. Our powerful equipment can handle these items.

On scheduled pick-up days, a uniformed professional will visit your office and empty your company’s bins or consoles. The material to be shredded will be loaded on our secured truck and shipped to our shredding facility. We ensure that all unwanted, confidential documents are destroyed and a certificate of destruction will be sent to you.
