Recyclable Material Transportation
Southern California Shredding is committed to being environmentally friendly, and will take any additional non shredded paper you have to be recycled as part of the services we provide you at no additional charge. This might include bulk mail, extra photocopies, etc.

Document Imaging

With document imaging, our staff will pick up your materials, transport them to our facility where the hard paper copy documents are scanned into a computer system and stored in digital format for easy archiving. You can review the information on the digital copy we provide to ensure that files have transferred as intended. Then, with your approval, SCS will shred the paper versions. From the moment we collect your documents to the time we destroy them on your behalf, your materials will be protected using NAID certified best practices.

FAQ
Answers Before You Book
Still have a question? Call our Lake Forest office at (949) 305-5511 and talk to a real person.
What does shredding cost?
Price depends on three things: how much you have, how it is packed, and how often you want service. There is no minimum. Call or ask for a quote, and we will give you an exact price for your needs. More does not always cost more. A monthly plan can even save you money.
What do I need to do before you arrive?
If you use our consoles or bins, leave them where our team can reach them. Keep CDs, hard drives and other media close by, but apart from the bins, so we can sort them for recycling. That’s it. We come on your day, shred it all on-site and give you a Certificate of Destruction.
How do you keep my information secure?
We are fully licensed and bonded. You get a Certificate of Destruction when every job is done. We can also give you a locked container. When it is full, our team takes it straight to the truck and feeds it into the shredder. You can watch it all on the truck’s monitor.
What should I shred?
Anything that could put your identity or your business’s privacy at risk. That includes records that laws like HIPAA and FACTA say you must destroy. Common examples: bank statements, tax records, pay stubs, cancelled checks, loan and insurance papers, medical and legal files, utility bills and credit cards. Shred anything with a Social Security or card number. Hard drives and digital media too.
