Shredding for Government Agencies
Every day, government agencies handle vast amounts of private information, spanning everything from citizen records to internal documents. When these materials are no longer needed, simply tossing them in the trash isn’t an option. Properly destroying these documents and devices is not just smart—it’s a responsibility. That’s where i shred delivers, offering tailored, secure shredding services designed for the unique demands of public offices.
Why Shredding Matters for Government Agencies
Public trust is non-negotiable for government offices, and safeguarding sensitive information plays a major role in maintaining that trust. Mismanaging the disposal of documents or digital files creates risks like identity theft, privacy violations, or compliance issues with strict regulations.
By employing secure shredding practices, agencies ensure that disposed materials are permanently destroyed. Not only does this protect the information they govern, but it also removes unnecessary risks, allowing the workday to be focused on serving communities effectively. Secure shredding minimizes the strain on resources, helping agencies enhance both efficiency and security.
i shred delivers solutions tailored to meet these needs—so you can stay confident that your data is protected throughout the disposal process.

Document Collection and On-Site Shredding
On the scheduled shredding day, our professional team arrives at your government facility with a mobile shredding truck. We collect your materials and securely destroy them on-site, maintaining the highest standards of security. For additional reassurance, you’re more than welcome to observe the shredding process firsthand.

Receipt of Certificate of Destruction
Once shredding is completed, we provide a Certificate of Destruction. This certificate serves as formal proof that your documents were securely destroyed, helping your agency uphold compliance with privacy regulations and maintain the integrity of sensitive government information.
Tailored Shredding Services for Government Agencies
No two agencies are the same, which is why i shred provides a range of shredding services designed to address varying workloads and security concerns.
One-Time Shredding
When file rooms overflow or large purges are necessary, our one-time shredding service is a great fit. Think moments like post-audits, reorganizations, or cleaning up years of accumulated paperwork. We’ll handle high volumes efficiently in one visit, leaving you with a clean slate and no reason to worry about breaches.
Scheduled Shredding
For offices with steady amounts of paper and data to destroy, regular shredding appointments make disposal a seamless process. We provide lockable bins or consoles for secure collection, and our team takes care of pick-up and shredding on a schedule you set. This ensures ongoing compliance with privacy mandates and protects agencies against loose documents falling into the wrong hands.
Hard Drive Shredding
Old hard drives still contain residual data even after being erased. To eliminate any possibility of data recovery, our hard drive shredding service completely destroys these devices. This secure process protects agencies from potential risks of digital breaches or leaks, ensuring sensitive information is permanently destroyed.
