The Cost of Shredding Services in Fresno
All Fresno businesses should make document destruction a regular part of their document management strategy. Finding a Fresno provider who puts your security above all else should be your top concern, but we understand cost is a big factor as well.
The price of a shredding project varies based on where the material is, the amount of materials you need shredded, and the type of service you choose. There may also be additional fees for special requests, such as weekend services or for transporting heavy boxes up and down stairs.
Some services will charge a flat fee, others charge by weight, and some by volume. Always ask your provider how they charge for shredding services so you know what to expect.
Estimate How Much You Have to Shred
Before you start your shredding project or request quotes, it’s a good idea to estimate how much material you have. For shredding service options that charge by weight or volume use these approximate guidelines:
- Long letter size file storage box (10” x 12” x 24”) weighs about 45-50 lbs
- Legal-size file storage box (10” x 14” x 24”) weighs about 55-60 lbs
- Standard letter sized file storage box (10” x 12” x 15”) weighs about 25-30 lbs
- Standard Xerox letter size box (10” x 12” x 18”) weighs about 30-35 lbs
- A ream of paper (2-inch stack of 8.5” x 11” paper/500 pieces) weighs about 5 lbs
- 13 gallon white trash bag weighs about 20-25 lbs
- 33 gallon black garbage bag weighs about 35-50 lbs
A fool proof way to know how much paper you have by weight—weigh yourself and then weigh yourself again while holding your files. Subtract the smaller number from the larger one and you have how much your shredding weighs.
