Residential Shredding
Residential Shredding Services
With personal identity theft and corporate espionage emerging as two of America’s fastest growing crimes, Proshred® has developed a convenient residential document shredding service that reduces the risks associated with disposing of personal and home-office confidential material.
Proshred®’s Residential Information Security Containers (RISCs) are central to any personal or home-office shredding program. RISC boxes act as a convenient central repository labeled with useful information about shredding residential and home office materials. By having a single designated location to collect and keep confidential papers ready for disposal, individuals immediately start to maintain a system for ensuring their security. RISC boxes are available at any Proshred® office.
Once you have collected your unwanted confidential information in RISC or file boxes, Proshred® provides several alternatives for having your residential documents securely shred. Customers can have their confidential documents shredded on-site on their premises; they can use our office drop-off service; or alternatively, they can participate in one of our ongoing community shredding events.
Multiple Shredding Options
After you have collected your unwanted sensitive documents in RISC or file boxes, Proshred® Connecticut provides many options for having your residential documents shred securely. First of all, customers can have their documents destroyed on-site at their location in Connecticut, or they can use our office drop-off option. Alternatively, they can come to one of our regular, community shredding events in Connecticut.
Although our on-site residential shredding service is available for jobs of all sizes, a minimum charge per visit will apply and we recommend customers have enough volume to make each shred as cost-effective as possible. If customers prefer, they can deliver sensitive documents to a local Proshred® office, where they will be collected, destroyed and recycled.
Additionally, our local Proshred® offices conduct regularly scheduled shredding events offering secure destruction of confidential documents for residents and home-office workers. Using one of our state-of-the-art on-site mobile shredding trucks, we host events in central areas to which customers can personally deliver their materials. Any net proceeds collected from these shredding events are donated to local charity and community groups, thus offering consumers a secure, environmentally conscious and community-friendly system for disposing of sensitive information.

What People Are Saying About Proshred®

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. read lessAmy G8/06/2021Absolutely LOVE this business! We use them every year to shred business documents.

Not only was Jeff Nemeth, who managed our shredding day, very kind, professional and responsive, everyone we interacted with at ProShred in Wallingford was the same. They took all of the stress out of shredding that much paper at a very fair price, and all on site. It was 100% hands off for us and they were so quick and efficient. I cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you. read less
