Shred Northwest

What Shred Northwest does

Shred Northwest, LLC is a privately held, family-owned information destruction services company headquartered at a 10+ acre secure facility in Boring, Oregon (26180 SE Highway 212). Incorporated on January 1, 2017 as a spin-off from GSS Inc. (formerly AccuShred NW), the company operates NAID AAA Certified mobile shred trucks that provide both paper and hard drive destruction on customer sites across Oregon and Washington, with schedules ranging from weekly to every 12 weeks. The underlying technology centers on custom-built dual-function shred trucks capable of destroying paper and up to 20 hard drives per minute, paired with hard drive serial-number scanning, certificate-of-destruction documentation, and video-monitored secure chain of custody at the Boring facility.

The company's revenue is generated through a mix of recurring scheduled shredding agreements, one-time purge projects (e.g., a referenced ~10-ton agribusiness file destruction in Salem, OR), drop-off shredding at publicly listed unit prices ($10-$70 per container size), and residential hard-drive destruction. Customer segments span healthcare providers (HIPAA-driven PHI destruction for medical centers in the Vancouver, WA / Salmon Creek area), legal and professional services firms in Salem, large agribusiness and commercial offices requiring recurring service, and individual homeowners/residential customers. An add-on "SHRED + Cyber" digital privacy and security service, delivered through a technology partnership with uRISQ, extends the offering into threat scanning, employee phishing training, policy templates, breach support, vendor management, and DSAR handling.

Go-to-market is sales-led and quote-based, with phone and online-form intake feeding mobile route operations across Portland, Vancouver (WA), Salem, the Oregon Coast, and westside Portland suburbs. The company complements this direct motion with a stated partner network serving customer branch locations in all 50 US states, public drop-off partner locations in the Portland metro, and a content/blog presence emphasizing customer review responsiveness (over 1,000 Google reviews). Its stated scale signals are descriptive ("tens of thousands of customers," "most reviewed independent shredding company in Oregon") rather than revenue-disclosed; no public financials, funding rounds, or acquisition activity exist in the input data.
