Top of the Line Commercial Paper Shredders
A friend of mine is an accountant for a large law firm in Seattle that used to use a mobile shredding service. Over the course of 4 years, they paid that company close to $16,000 to shred and haul their sensitive documents on an ongoing basis.
It was an impressive figure, especially considering they could have bought their own industrial shredder for closer to $10,000 and operated it for a lot less than the difference and for a lot longer. In addition, their sensitive or confidential documents would be destroyed in-house.
What Does a Commercial Paper Shredder Do Exactly?
Yes, it’s pretty simple, industrial or commercial paper shredders shred paper. But these units are significantly larger and more powerful than anything you’ll find at Staples.
A basic industrial shredder can handle upwards of 90 sheets of paper at once, making mincemeat out of 40-50 feet of paper every minute. A standard, entry-level shredder weighs around 600-800 pounds and is about the size of a large photocopier. These are machines built to do one thing really well – shred.
