Welcome to BudgetShred

Company Overview

BudgetShred is the Maryland (MD), Virginia (VA) and Washington DC low cost leader in secure office document destruction services.  Providing your business or home office secure, affordable paper shredding services is what we do. 

But enough about us (you can read all about how great we are in the pages that follow), lets talk about you.  You're a busy office manager or business owner and you've got some decisions to make and to shred or not to shred is not one of those decisions!

1. "Should I shred this stuff myself or contract someone else to do it?"
2. "If I am going to hire a service to do the shredding, how do I choose from the many that I see?"

• It's cheaper than you think and actually costs less than doing it yourself (click here for an example)
• It's more secure. Leaving it up to your employees to decide what to shred and then go shred it. It is problematic for several reasons. Call us and we'll give you a list of all of them. Contrast that level of security with your employees taking a few seconds to dispose of all office paper products into a locked security bin. Every month we come in with a new locked bin and remove the full one, transport it inside our locked truck to our locked facility where your documents are shredded within moments of arrival by an owner of BudgetShred with a US gov't top secret security clearance. The entire process is recorded on CCTV.
• It's better for the environment. 100% of the paper we pick up from your office is recycled in to new paper products. If you do your own shredding, chances are a large percentage of your office paper, shredded or un-shredded, probably leave your office by way of a dumpster. In the years ahead, responsible corporate citizens will need to lead the way maintaining sustainable natural resource policies and recycling 100% of your office paper is a great place to start!

• Security-  Of course the security of your sensitive materials should be your first consideration.  As security professionals we know that security comes first.  As a business owner you should demand security, but you shouldn't have to pay extra for it.  In fact, just as you can be held civilly and criminally liable for disclosers of protected information, so can we!  One hundred percent security of your documents is the minimum standard of a document destruction service not an added bonus.
• Service- Your shredding service should be there when they say they are going to be there and they should employ people who are trustworthy and properly screened both before and during their employment.
• Value- Here is the one category most of the other shredding services don't want to talk about.  But it's important!  In today's economy, businesses can't afford to pay more than they have to for anything.  Document destruction services are no different.  The 800 pound gorilla in a room full of paper shredders is this "WE ALL PROVIDE THE SAME SERVICE".  With that in mind, the cost of the service should absolutely be part of your decision making process.  You will find a wide variety of prices and pricing models in this industry.  We try to keep our costs down and pass the savings on to you. 

Do we offer cheap / discount paper shredding?  You bet!  We're proud to be the lowest cost document security company in the area!  Why are we able to charge less?  Efficiency. In order to save you money, we constantly analyze all aspects of our business: the types of fuel efficient trucks and equipment we use, the routes our drivers take, even the best times during the day to collect your documents. We pass these savings on to you!  We can even save you money if you currently shred your own documents.  Click here to see how?
