I-Shred
488 N Main St Suite 106 , Alpharetta, Georgia, United States

Welcome to I-Shred, your secure home shredding service. We started I-Shred because there is no cost effective, convenient and secure way for homeowners to handle the destruction of their confidential information on documents, papers and files.

• Tear your I-Trash in half and drop it in the garbage? Even a stupid crook can put that back together.

• Use a shredder at home? It takes too long if you have to shred more than a couple things. If stuff piles up, you can spend a Saturday morning feeding I-trash into the machine. It jams. It overheats. It dies. The shredder and the shreds wind up in the trash. Hopefully, you don’t find a smarter, more patient crook.

• Call a Commercial shredding company? They will be happy to roll out a truck to your house sometime between dawn and dark to shred your stuff for a minimum of $250.

• Throw it in the trash and cover it with garbage or kitty litter?

• Burn it in the yard? That’s a great idea.

What you need is a place to bring your stuff that is conveniently located in Alpharetta near GA400 or in Atlanta a mile inside I-285. It has to be open when you need them and staffed by bonded, insured and background checked employees who will help you haul the stuff in and even come and get it if you have too much. They need to shred according to the National Association of Information Destruction (NAID) guidelines. They need to have a secure set up for your I-Trash before it is shredded and a plan for its destruction when the job is done. It shouldn’t cost a fortune and you should have some proof that your I-trash is destroyed when the job is completed, a Certificate of Destruction, just like a business gets.

I-Shred does all that and more! Bring us your old computers and laptops and for a small fee, we will remove and shred the hard drive and recycle the rest. Old electronics too!After you bring us your old documents to shred, for only $15 we can send you home with a personal shred bin for all your I-trash. When it’s full bring it in and as long as the lid closes, we’ll shred everything in it. If you want to take it out again, it's another $15. We recycle our shreds, saving trees, water, energy and landfill space. You really should give I-Shred a try. Save time. Protect your identity. Be a friend of the Earth.

Why I-Shred

Did you know that a recent study showed that only 11% of identity theft was internet originated? The rest came from the misuse of information commonly found in your home’s trash. Your solution? An I Shred container next to your trash into which you deposit all the junk mail, statements, applications, letters and documents that you wish to be destroyed. When it’s full, bring it to your I Shred store and leave with an empty container and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your information will be completely destroyed that day. You will have a Certificate of Destruction in your e-mail’s inbox that night to prove it.

For businesses, in-house shredding uses valuable employee time, stealing focus away from core business activities. Employees may be shredding material they should not be allowed to see. The availability of a shred bin makes it easier to follow the guidelines for what should be shredded because it is far more convenient than shredding them oneself.. Office shredders are messy, require maintenance, have limited capacity and require organizations to complete an extra step by putting the shredded material in the trash or recycling stream. And let’s be honest here. That paper winds up in the trash, not the recycler’s.
