Services / One-time Purge Shredding
Relocating, clearing a storage unit, or buried in paperwork? We shred the backlog immediately upon request — no long-term commitment and no surprise fees.
Document shredding on request
Documents pile up quickly, causing mess and disorganization. Whether you are moving and need to dispose of unnecessary documents, or you’ve decided a major clean-out is necessary, IDSAutoshred will look after the shredding, immediately upon request.
Not sure what to shred? Shred everything that is no longer relevant to your business and everything past its retention period. Most business documents contain personal or private details that could threaten your security if exposed — professional shredding reduces your liability.
Our experienced team will guide you through the process:

Scheduling your appointment
You decide when to shred
You pick the time and date. Our specialists are in and out with very little disruption, so your focus stays on your business. Next-day service is available Monday to Friday.
01
Tell us roughly what you have. We can quote during the conversation and book a date that suits you.
02
Box or bag the documents separately so we can identify what requires destruction. No need to remove staples, bands or file fasteners.
03
Our industrial shred equipment goes through everything with ease, and your information stays secure throughout.
04
You receive a certificate showing exactly how and what was shredded, for your records and future reference.
When to purge
A one-time purge usually involves a significant volume of documents and normally happens only once or twice a year — endless piles of paper or even a full storage room. Storing records too long is a security red flag: files go missing, or worse, get stolen.
Shredding purges usually take place:
During end-of-year or end-of-quarter clean-outs, when files are no longer of significance or have expired
When a business doesn’t need regular shredding but benefits from the occasional service
When a company or family is moving or needs a major clean-out
Preparing for a purge
Have the documents set aside or boxed separately. Boxes, garbage bags or any other containers are fine. Collection bins aren’t included with a one-time purge, but they are free when you adopt a scheduled shredding service.
