Action Shred offers shredding events sponsored by businesses, organizations and cities throughout the DFW metroplex and North Texas. Our mobile shredding truck will render documents beyond reconstruction. Action Shred then takes the materials to a recycling facility. Participants can even watch shredding process while they wait!

Properly destroying documents containing personal or confidential data is a serious business. Thieves often look through unsuspecting victims’ trash in search of discarded documents. People whose identities have been stolen can spend months or years trying to clear their names and restore their credit record. One of the most important things you can do is to shred any personal documents you wish to discard.
Avoid collecting piles of materials until you are able to attend shredding event. Instead, set up a monthly or quarterly shredding program. Use Action Shred, where you can personally watch the destruction of all confidential items.
