Are you cleaning out your office, moving, or finally ready to get rid of that stack of old files? If you have sensitive paperwork piling up, a one-time shredding service in Dallas may be exactly what you need.
Whether you’re a homeowner with boxes of old tax documents or a business preparing for a compliance audit, purge shredding services offer a secure and convenient way to destroy large volumes of confidential information all without the need for a recurring contract.
Here’s everything you need to know about one-time shredding and how it works.
One-time shredding, also known as purge shredding, is a secure document destruction service for customers who need to dispose of a large volume of documents just once.
Unlike scheduled shredding services (typically weekly or monthly), this is a flexible, on-demand solution—perfect for:
Annual cleanouts
Office moves or closures
File retention policy compliance
Post-tax season shredding
Estate cleanups or legal purges
If you’ve never used a shredding service before, don’t worry it’s simple, fast, and secure. Here’s what to expect:
Contact a shredding provider like us with an estimate of how many boxes or bags you have. You’ll receive a quote and schedule your service.
You’ll choose between:
On-site shredding – we shred your documents right outside your location in a mobile shredding truck.
Off-site shredding (option available for large purge jobs)– For larger jobs, especially if you have 50 boxes or more, off-site shredding is often the most efficient and cost-effective option. We’ll securely collect your materials and transport them to our NAID-certified facility for destruction.
After your documents are securely shredded, we can provide a Certificate of Destruction upon request. This document serves as proof that your materials were destroyed in compliance with standards such as HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA ideal for audits or internal recordkeeping.
If you choose on-site shredding, please note the following service requirements:
We cannot shred in personal driveways or alleyways due to safety and accessibility concerns.
A minimum 20-foot clearance is required from overhead powerlines and tree branches to safely operate our mobile shredding truck.
These guidelines help ensure a safe, efficient, and compliant shredding process.
There’s no strict limit on how much you can shred in a one-time service. Most providers charge by:
Box count (e.g., standard banker’s boxes)
Weight
Or minimum service fees (especially for residential customers)
Whether you have 5 boxes or 500, we can tailor the service to your needs.
One-time shredding is ideal for:
Small businesses that don’t generate enough paper to need regular service
Law firms, medical offices, or accountants cleaning out old files
Homeowners with old tax documents, financial records, or personal files
Anyone going paperless and needing to securely dispose of physical records
Sure, you could use a store-bought shredder but that’s time-consuming, risky, and often doesn’t meet legal or compliance standards.
Professional shredding services offer:
Speed – shred hundreds of pounds of paper in minutes
Security – full chain of custody, secure trucks, background-checked staff
Compliance – meet industry regulations (HIPAA, FACTA, etc.)
Sustainability – all shredded paper is recycled
If you’re ready to clear out those files securely and hassle-free, our one-time shredding service in Dallas is here to help. Whether it’s a few boxes or hundreds, we make shredding easy, fast, and compliant.
