Identity Theft is on the Rise! Protect Your Information

Did you know that 47% of Americans were victims of financial identity theft in the year 2020? That’s nearly half of the population!

Protect yourself by shredding your documents with Shred City. Our technology utilizes what is called “Pierce and Tear” shredding, where the papers are punctured and then shredded, making it impossible for that information to be put back together and read.

With an every day office shredder, identity thieves can go through trash and piece the strips back together.

And if you're simply throwing those old documents away… then all the work is being done for them.

Shred City is HIPAA compliant and AAA NAID certified, which is the highest accreditation in our industry. (Read more about NAID certification here.) At the end of your services we provide you with a Certificate of Destruction (COD), a legal document that states that all of your information was shredded securely. And if you are shredding for your business, a COD is necessary to prove compliance in case you were to ever be audited.

This goes for hard drives, media, and credit cards as well. Don’t throw out old computers or even printers with your data on them! In fact, one single hard drive holds the equivalent of hundreds of boxes of paper.

We destruct those digital items with sensitive and confidential data and give you that same COD for your records.

Protect you, your loved ones, or your business from identity theft! Keep personal and client information safe and use Shred City for your document destruction needs.
