All documents are picked up by the paper exchange service representative, locked in our trucks, and then destroyed off-site at our secure shredding facility.

• The Paper Exchange uniformed employees enter your facility and remove and secure your confidential information in secure locking toters and shred bags on a scheduled basis. We are the only people that have access to your locked containers.
• Your Material is placed in locked containers on our locked box truck. They are then transported to our secure facility on the NorthSide of Pittsbugh. The locked containers are taken inside our building where they remain locked until they are ready for destruction. All destruction takes place on the same day.
• Our plant manager empties the containers into our fully automated shredding system. Your materials are then grinded by the HF-7870 XR “Mega Destroyer” which is the largest one-pass top feed shredder in Cresswood’s product line, weighing in at 23,000 pounds . The end product is confetti like material that is shipped to paper mills for recycling.
• For security purposes are building does not have our name on the exterior. We have a state of the art intrusion detection system at our facility installed by one of Pittsburgh’s top security companies.  There are security cameras on all points of access to our building.
• The Paper Exchange does criminal background checks and drug testing on all our employees. All drivers wear uniforms with photo ID security badges. Upon completion of the destruction we send you a “notarized certificate of destruction” for your records.
