Information is one of our most valuable assets in our world. Every document you toss in the trash, every old hard drive in the drawer, and every old box of files collecting dust carries potential risks — risks that many don’t quite consider. We at Simple Shred LLC feel that shredding is not just a form of disposal service. It’s just as important for protecting your privacy, your business, your peace of mind. And it can turn expensive if your sensitive information gets to the wrong people. But correct shredding erases those dangers altogether, keeping what’s supposed to be private.
Learning the Value of Secure Shredding
Most people don’t think of identity theft or data breaches as old papers or forgotten hard drives — but criminals do. Dumpster diving and digital recovery methods are more prevalent than you think. Anything with a signature, account number, medical information, or personal identifier is now of interest to the wrong person. Which is why secure shredding is one of the most common services for households, small businesses, medical clinics, financial offices, legal firms, and every other institution that processes personal information.
When you pick Simple Shred you’re signing up for a program focused on shielding you from cutting-edge threats, in the most economical, simple way.
Our “Ultra Shredder System” shreds documents into small, unrecoverable particles — far in excess of what a store-bought home shredder is capable of doing. It uses strict processes to destroy all the paper, file or device. Regardless, be it the cleaning of dusty financial documents, sensitive business information, or personal documents, such as medical records or tax returns, you need peace of mind that your information will never be exposed. We believe in trust, in the value of every product that crosses our property or a truck’s doors and operate with accuracy.
See Our Flexible Shredding Methods in Practice
Clients are not similar in their shredding requirements. Some need a once-a-year pick-up; some need their years’ worth of documents all screened and filed away in one run. Simple Shred adapts its solutions to fit your life or workflow.

Digital devices hold far more details than most realize even after deleting files. Our media shredding equipment, which can shred old hard drives, USB sticks and other devices, destroys them beyond recovery.
What You Can Do When You “Just Throw It Away”?
The improper disposal of documents creates unnecessary risks that leave many individuals and businesses wondering only when it’s too late.
- Identity Theft and Money Fraud
Criminals look for bank statements, tax returns, medical claims and personal correspondence. A single document can contain more information than people realize, sometimes up to a great deal.
- Business Liability Matters and Compliance Matters
Businesses can be punished for failing to protect the private or highly confidential lives of their customers. Shredding securely guarantees you are not out of line with privacy guidelines.
- Environmental Waste
Paper documents that have been shredded are easier to recycle and process. Sensitive materials can end up in unsecure recycling centers and landfills if shredding is not done properly.
- Loss of Trust
For their companies, clients expect the data they provide to be handled responsibly by companies. A slip up involving improper disposal can cause reputational damage from a breach on your business with loss of reputation and customer loyalty.
Shredding removes these risks completely — that’s all — from your mind.

When Is the Right Time to Shred?
If you don’t know if you should shred something, adhere to this rule:
When in doubt, shred it.
Yet here are some very specific cues that it’s time to schedule a shredding service:
You’re gearing up for tax season or tidying up old financial documents.
Your office is full of years of paperwork.
You’re keeping your old PCs or hard drives “just in case”.
You may be moving, downsizing, or reorganizing.
You own a business that commonly processes personal data.
You’ve wanted to toss things out but want to do so safely.
The longer things linger, the more prone they are.
Last word: Clear the clutter on the one hand, but secure the other. Shredding isn’t merely the removal of paper — it’s the elimination of the chance of exposure, theft, or misuse. Every file you wipe away is one less opportunity for your information to be compromised.
We make it simple at Simple Shred. You bring the documents (or we come to you) and we do the rest for you. It’s simple, safe and, surprisingly enough, gratifying to see years’ worth of clutter vanish calmly.
