Protect your information every step of the way with eWasted's drop-off paper shredding service

Drop-Off Electronics Waste Recycling

eWasted has opened its office doors to the San Diego community.  Triggered by an overwhelming amount of requests, eWasted now accepts electronics from the public for secure "Drop-Off" e-waste disposal.  All materials are collected at our Miramar location and put into secure locking eWasted containers.  The full containers are then added to that day's collected paper and recycled.

FAQ About Drop-Off Shredding

  • paper shredding boxes

    We use a "bankers box" (10"x12"x15") as a consistent unit of measurement.  If you do not have your material in a bankers box OR need your boxes back we will estimate the total volume at time of service.

    ​

    **A bankers box can hold 20-25 pounds of paper

  • Our drop off paper shredding service is perfect for those with larger or smaller shredding needs. You may drop off as little as 1 box or as many as 1000 boxes for secure destruction. Our team will handle the rest with our secure and reliable shredding service.

  • Absolutely! We're not just about security; we're also committed to sustainability. After shredding, all paper materials are responsibly recycled.  Here are the top three things that our recycled paper are used for:

    1. Newsprint: Recycled paper often gets turned into newsprint, which is widely used in the production of newspapers.

    2. Cardboard: A significant portion of recycled paper contributes to the manufacturing of cardboard boxes and packaging materials, helping reduce the need for new raw materials.

    3. Toilet and Tissue Paper: Recycled paper fibers can be processed to create toilet paper, facial tissues, and paper towels, offering a sustainable alternative to products made from virgin pulp.

  • We take security extremely seriously. Our team is trained under rigorous guidelines and is both HIPAA-certified and background-checked. We also have stringent controls to limit access to your sensitive material. Plus, for your peace of mind, we provide you with a certificate of destruction for your records.

    • Electronic media, paper, film, or other hard copy media have been shredded or destroyed such that the PHI (Protected Health Information) or other information cannot be read or otherwise cannot be reconstructed, and have been processed to the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Special Publication 800-88 standards of information destruction.

    • NO RETURNS! Once material has entered into the possession of SHRED-DOCS, it can not be removed under ANY circumstances (even if not yet destroyed).  You, the Generator confirms title to the material and transfer of ownership to SHRED-DOCS for destruction as described herein.

    • Paper and paper products only.

    • All shredding is conducted “Off-Site”.

    • For security purposes, we unfortunately can not permit the public to enter into the shredding facility to protect your privacy with our non-witness paper shredding service. Our facility operates with the highest level of security to ensure complete confidentiality of your sensitive documents. With our advanced shredding technology, you can rest easy knowing that your information is completely destroyed and unable to be reconstructed.

  • We use "bankers boxes" as a unit or measurement but you do not need to have your paper in bankers boxes.  You may use anything that you'd like to transport your paper to us as long as it is easy to transfer the material from your container to ours.  ​
