Answers
Frequently asked questions
What is one-time purge shredding?
One-time purge shredding is a single shredding job for a large amount of paper, from a few boxes to an entire storage room. It is not a recurring service. You call us when you have the paper ready.
How do I schedule a one-time purge?
Call (815) 224-8516 or request a quote. Tell us about how many boxes or file cabinets you have and whether you want on-site or off-site shredding, and we will set a date with you.
How much does a one-time purge cost?
Pricing depends on how much paper you have and whether you choose on-site or off-site shredding. Request a free quote for an accurate estimate.
Do I need to remove staples or paper clips?
No. Staples, paper clips, binders and folders can stay in. You do not need to prep your paper, and the shredded paper is recycled.
What is the difference between on-site and off-site shredding?
On-site shredding happens at your location in our mobile shredding truck. Off-site shredding means we collect your paper in locked bins and shred it at our facility. IVDD is NAID AAA Certified for both.
Is purge shredding HIPAA and GLBA compliant?
Yes. Our document destruction is HIPAA and GLBA compliant, so we can shred medical, legal, financial and HR files. IVDD is NAID AAA Certified for both on-site and off-site shredding.
Do you provide a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes. Every job gets a Certificate of Destruction, on-site or off-site, including one-time purges. We also keep a record of every pickup.
Can I switch to scheduled service after a purge?
Yes. After a purge you can set up locked bins with weekly, bi-weekly or monthly pickups, or ask about a custom schedule, so paper does not build up again. Call (815) 224-8516 or use the scheduled options on this page.
Can I visit the facility?
Yes, by appointment only. We are open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, so call (815) 224-8516 to set a time.
