Browse Shredding Prices by Metro

Metro pages contain only locations with documented, published prices. Locations are compared by their per-pound rate where available, with other published price structures identified separately.

Metro listings are being verified

No metro pages are published until sourced location records are available. Know a location that publishes its shredding prices?

Chain vs. Independent Shredding Prices

A chain name alone does not establish what a particular store charges. We distinguish chain-published pricing from individual store-published pricing.

Chain-published pricing

FedEx Office

Where a chain publishes a uniform shredding rate, that rate is identified as chain-published and linked to its original source. No figure appears without verification.

FedEx Office Pricing

Store-specific pricing

The UPS Store

Shredding prices can vary among franchised stores. Compare only the rates that individual locations actually publish. There is no assumed chain-wide price.

Locally published pricing

Independent Providers

Independent shredding providers may publish per-pound rates, per-box charges, or minimums. Only documented amounts are included in comparisons.

How We Verify Prices

Published Sources

We collect prices from the location's own published materials or a chain's official price page. We do not create estimates for unpublished rates.

Source and Date

Every listed price includes its source name, a link to the original publication, and the date the information was checked.

Corrections Reviewed

Readers can report changes or suggest new locations. Submissions are reviewed before anything is published.

Before you drop off documents

Understand How Shredding Is Priced

Per-pound rates and per-box charges are not directly interchangeable. Minimum charges, acceptable materials, and service conditions can also change what you pay.

Our guide explains how pricing structures work, what affects the weight of a banker's box, and when a mobile shredding service may be worth comparing.
