Drop Off Shredding
freesecureshredding.com is a green community service from Office Paper Systems.
In an effort to help our community and our environment we provide free secure shredding of up to 10 boxes or bags of paper / printed media. Our experienced, licensed professionals securely destroy your documents and document destruction certificates are provided confirming the destruction of your material.
NEW! We now accept digital media. Drop off 1 box of electronic media including Hard Drives, Backup Tapes, CD's and more and we will physically destroy the devices in our dedicated hard drive shredder.
If you have more than 10 boxes or bags please call 301-948-6301 for drop off availability.
Frequently Asked
Is it really free?
Yes it's really free! We have an established commercial operation and opening our doors to the public was a natural step in extending our outreach and supporting our community and environment. All of the shredded material will be recycled.
Can I watch?
Yes, however this option is subject to a $30.00 fee. Customers that wish to witness the process will sign in, be issued a visitor badge and will be escorted into the destruction facility to witness the destruction of their own material. The fee is necessary due to the additional labor, time and procedures involved.
