I recently looked into this for my office and here is a summary of the different options that I got from talking to the Destruction and Shredding guys (their parent company is SF <span class="il">Recology</span>).<br>
<br>
Recurring pickup:<br>
Minimum is $65 for a small businesses (covers first 200 lbs, then each<br>
additional pound is $18), minimum interval is every 6 weeks. Not sure if they have a residential option for this.<br>
<br>
One Time Pick Up (Purge): $85 for first 300 lbs and 18 cents per pound after that. Pretty sure it doesn't matter if it is a home or office.<br>
<br>
Pre-paid boxes: For $40/box they send you a 30 pound bankers box with a prepaid return label UPS label. But you have to then take it to the UPS store to mail them, which makes the next option seem like a better deal.<br>
<br>
Drop off: You can go to their location at 501 Tunnel Ave. (close to Candlestick Park) and they will only charge $25 for the first hundred pounds and 25 cents for each additional pound. This is the cheapest option, save getting a shredder and doing the shredding/recycling yourself.<br><br>Also, they are very committed to the recycling part (I grilled them about this).<br><br>Hope this helps!<br><br>Catherine<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sat, 29 May 2010 11:05:32 -0700<br>From: rubyapap@yahoo.com<br>To: Social@lists.deeptrouble.com<br>Subject: SOCIAL: local shredding service for home?<br><br><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font: inherit;" valign="top">Hi All,<div>I have a couple bags of sensitive docs I want to shred and recycle.
