Document shredding services in Addison, IL
Household paper stops being useful long before anybody throws it out. Tax records are the honest exception, and even those have an end date — the rest is filler you’ve been storing for free. Secure shredding is what clears the closet without opening you up to anything.
How long the paper in the closet is worth keeping
- Tax returns and the records behind them — seven years covers nearly any question that comes back
- Pay stubs — until the W-2 lands and the numbers match
- Bank and card statements — a year, unless one supports a deduction
- Medical bills — a year after the claim settles
Anything printed with an account number belongs in a shredder rather than a recycling bin. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act makes that a legal duty for businesses; for a household it’s simply the gap between a closed file and an open one.
What a few boxes costs to shred
Drop-off shredding runs $15 to $25 a box across 6,000 local locations, no appointment involved. A purge visit to the house, truck and crew, runs $125 to $300 and includes the Certificate of Destruction.
Three boxes is a real job. It’s roughly the size drop-off pricing was built around, and Record Nations knows which providers near Addison take residential work rather than volume contracts only.
