Home Shredding

Affordable, convenient shredding for your home

You can't be too careful with your personal data - fraudsters can use your discarded papers and receipts for identity theft and fraud. One way of helping you keep your personal information private is to shred your personal documents, receipts, bills, and statements.

Not all shredders are equal

Many people buy home shredding machines to help protect themselves against prying eyes - but not all shredders are created equal. Strip shredding - which is what most shredders sold for home use use - can easily be reconstructed by hand, as can many home cross-cut shredders. For the determined, there's even software that will reconstruct shredded papers of all types.

How do you protect your information?

The best way to protect your personal information is to shred to a high standard, where the paper is cut to pieces that are extremely small. Your shredding should be mixed with others, making it much more difficult to isolate and reconstruct.

Home shredding machines often simply cut paper into easily-reassembled strips or large chunks, both of which can easily be reassembled. They're also messy and time consuming to use.
