Don't Pay by the Minute to have your Documents Shredded

When you are deciding to have confidential records and files shredded, here is a piece of advice for anyone when they are ready to decide what company to use. With respect to pricing, get a firm fixed price for the job, whether is is a per box price or a per pound price. Paying per pound is your best option because you are only paying for what gets shredded. Most companies have a scale mounted on the truck and can give you and exact weight of the materials that will be shredded.

Paying "by the minute" for a shredding company to shred your confidential records has several limitations. First of all, you do not know what you are paying until the job is complete. Second, the longer the company spends shredding your documents, the more money they make. Third, most of these companies have the slowest and most inefficient shredding equipment in the industry. This, in turn, increases the amount on your invoice, due to their slow, inefficient machines. The longer they are on-site, the more you pay. This is like your "time and materials" home improvement contractors.

Bottom line, get a price before the job gets started, and don't let any company tell you we are unsure of what it is going to cost until we are finished the job. This is like having a contractor come to your home, build an addition, and tells you when I am finished, I will give you a price. Crazy, right?
