Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t we save money by shredding it ourselves?
In these tight economic times saving money and being more productive is on everyone’s mind.  If you have accumulated just 5 standard file boxes, (30 pounds), using a typical office shredder it would take your employee approximately 16 hours to complete.  This does not include the time to separate files and remove clips, rubber bands and staples.  Your employee’s skills and time are key to the success of your business.  Why shift their productivity to the manual, time-consuming task of shredding when Shred Wise can accomplish in less time?  Using Shred Wise can result in a higher return on investment (ROI) for your business and life!
