USA Shred

What USA Shred does

USA Shred LLC is a privately held document and electronic media destruction service provider headquartered in Maspeth, New York. The company operates a fleet of mobile shredding vehicles equipped with high-capacity cross-cut shredders (rated at 2,500–3,000 pounds per hour) and on-board viewing monitors that allow clients to witness destruction at their own premises. It holds NAID AAA certification for secure data destruction and operates under NYC Business Integrity Commission Trade Waste License #3916. Its product set spans scheduled recurring shredding (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), one-time purge services, hard drive destruction, and proprietary free-to-client security containers (I-Series and DuraFlex), with a DuraFlex unit marketed as offering 15% more capacity than competing consoles. Approximately 95% of shredded material is recycled.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and phone-driven, anchored by a dedicated vanity sales line (888-SHRED-77), a local number, a contact-form website, and a 10% first-time-client coupon. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; commercial clients receive free locked security consoles and a Certificate of Destruction after each service for compliance documentation. The customer base is split across commercial verticals (legal, medical, financial, general office) requiring regulatory compliance (HIPAA, GLBA, Sarbanes-Oxley, FACTA) and residential customers needing home-office or relocation cleanouts. Geographic coverage is limited to New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and Northern New Jersey. The firm has 6 employees, no disclosed funding history, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue.
