Throughout the year, cities offer free shred days for their residents and other local businesses and organizations provide free shredding events for customers and the general public.

The specialized companies listed below offer shredding services for a fee. Once the documents are destroyed, shredding companies deliver the shredded paper to a recycling facility.

NAID (National Association for Information Destruction) is the standard-setting body for the information destruction industry. Membership and certification are voluntary.
