We are always asked what can and cannot be shredded. Plus, with what one needs to know prior to our arrival. We put the below info together to give you a source to go to for commonly asked questions regarding shredding prep.
You are wanting to get ready for our arrival and curious as to what you need to do beforehand.
Please double check all material to confirm it is what you intend to have shredded. Also, have it gathered and ready. We mainly ask to have all material in an easy to access area. Anything that is not supposed to be shredded needs to be completely separated from shredding. If you need additional time to go through material we can easily reschedule allowing additional time.
In the event the material is going to be located up/down stairs, please let us know prior to scheduled service date. If any material will be in either three ring binders or accounting books, fear not, we will separate/open them for you as long as you let us know prior (pricing may be affected due to medium to high volume).
RESIDENTIAL - Most of the time we will park our truck at the end of your driveway. We prefer to not bring it on your driveway, but there are times that the drive is long or a steep hill prevents us from transporting the material to our truck. In the previous mentioned situations, we ask you to discuss with us prior so we can see what options can be done.
