What SecurShred does

SecurShred is a privately held, New England-focused secure information management company operating under the legal entity Shred This, Inc. Founded in October 2000 in South Burlington, Vermont by Eric Flegenheimer and Ken Miller, the business provides paper shredding, electronic media and hard-drive destruction, document imaging/scanning, off-site records storage, and electronics recycling to healthcare, financial, legal, government, and SMB/residential customers across Vermont, New Hampshire, northwestern New York, eastern Massachusetts, and southern Maine. Core technology comprises a mobile shredding fleet with state-of-the-art on-site shredding trucks, an HD Hammer hard-drive destruction machine that crushes platters to make data recovery impossible, NAID AAA-certified plant-based destruction facilities, locked collection containers with chain-of-custody tracking, and video-monitored destruction processes; all operations hold NAID AAA Certification for paper/printed media, physical hard drives, non-paper media, SSDs, and product destruction, and electronics are routed through R2-certified recyclers.

The company monetizes through a mix of service-based revenue streams: recurring scheduled container service at customer facilities, one-time and ongoing on-site and plant-based shredding, walk-in pay-as-you-go shredding at $10 per container, off-site records storage (including Secure Vault high-security storage), document imaging and electronic document storage via the SecurScan subsidiary, hard-drive and electronics destruction, and Ship-n-Destroy online shipping-based destruction. Distribution is predominantly direct/field enterprise sales with a mobile on-site model, supplemented by plant-based drop-off, government procurement vehicles (GSA, State of Vermont, NY State OGS), and community shred events run with credit unions, banks, and local organizations to drive SMB/residential acquisition. The 25-year-old business remains founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional capital, expanded New England capacity through the 2025 acquisition of Secure RMS in Sanford, Maine, and continues to hold long-tenured anchor contracts including the State of Vermont since 2005 and the University of Vermont.
