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.

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®
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!

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.
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.
