Our Shredding Process

At Watchdog Document Services, shredding your sensitive documents securely and efficiently is our priority. With our mobile shredding trucks, we provide on-site services, allowing you to witness the entire process while ensuring confidentiality and compliance.

Here’s a step-by-step of how our shredding services work so you know what to expect when you partner with Watchdog Document Services.

Step 1: Initial Contact

Your shredding process begins when you get in touch with us. You can either call us directly or request a quote online to kick things off.

During this conversation, we’ll learn about your specific needs and determine whether you’re looking for a one-time shredding service or a scheduled shredding plan. Our team will guide you to the best option for your situation, making it easy from the start.

Step 2: Schedule Your Service

For One-Time Shredding

Once you’ve decided on One-Time Shredding, we’ll coordinate a single-day appointment that is convenient for you. You pick the date and location, and we’ll take care of the rest.

For Scheduled Shredding

For Scheduled Shredding customers, we’ll create a recurring service plan tailored to your business’s needs. Whether you need weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits, we ensure your service happens on a consistent schedule.

Step 3: Our Team Arrives

On your scheduled day, our professional team arrives right at your location with our fully-equipped mobile shredding truck. There’s no need to move sensitive documents off-site — we handle everything on-site to ensure security and convenience.

Step 4: Secure Document Collection

For One-Time Shredding

If you’re using our One-Time service, we’ll collect your documents securely from wherever they’re stored — whether it’s boxed up in an office, tucked away in filing cabinets, or stored in another location at your business.

For Scheduled Shredding

With Scheduled Shredding, we provide secure, locked shredding bins that remain on-site at your location between visits. On your scheduled service day, our team empties these bins into a locked container for transport to the mobile shredding truck.

Step 5: On-Site Mobile Shredding

Your documents are destroyed right on your property using our state-of-the-art mobile shredding truck. The entire process happens within view for complete transparency. You can even watch the shredding process if you like — we take security and peace of mind seriously.

Step 6: Receive a Certificate of Destruction

After shredding is completed, we issue a Certificate of Destruction. This document serves as proof that your files were securely destroyed. It supports compliance with privacy laws like HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA while protecting your business’s reputation.

Step 7: Environmentally-Friendly Disposal

Once the shredding process is complete, the shredded material is responsibly recycled. At Watchdog Document Services, we’re committed to sustainable practices, ensuring your documents are both securely disposed of and environmentally friendly.

With our on-site shredding services, you get a secure, convenient, and reliable solution for your document destruction needs. Whether it’s a one-time purge or an ongoing service, we handle the process seamlessly so you can focus on what matters most.
