PLANT BASED SHREDDING
High-Volume, Off-Site Shredding Handled with Maximum Security at Our Raleigh Facility.
Fast, Secure, and Affordable Plant-Based Shredding
Your office produces thousands of printed documents, many containing sensitive information, client data, billing records, internal memos, and more. When it’s time to dispose of those records, throwing them in the trash isn’t just risky, it’s a liability.
At Allways Shred, we offer a plant-based shredding solution that gives you high-speed, off-site document destruction with the highest level of information security. It’s the ideal option for businesses looking to clear out large volumes of material quickly, affordably, and securely.
Documents are securely transported to our Raleigh-based shredding facility, where they’re destroyed using industrial-grade shredders equipped with 24/7 surveillance, full chain-of-custody tracking, and strict access controls.
Our Plant-Based Shredding Is Ideal For:
- Bulk document clean-outs
- Regular off-site shredding service
- End-of-year file purging
- Businesses with limited on-site space
- Compliance with HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and more
Every shred job is backed by a Certificate of Destruction, and all shredded paper is responsibly recycled, helping you protect both your data and the environment.
What Is Plant-Based Shredding?
Our plant-based shredding process uses some of the most powerful, secure, and efficient equipment in the shredding industry. Installed in 2017, our custom-built machinery—nicknamed “The Beast”—can process more than 20,000 sheets of paper per minute, along with other materials like electronics, cardboard, and clothing.
With AllWays Shred's Plant-Based Shredding, You Can Destroy:

- Computers and hard drives
- Cardboard and packaging
- Branded apparel and uniforms
- Electronics and small devices
- Promotional items or product prototypes
Every item is tracked from drop-off to destruction using our advanced security monitoring system, giving you complete peace of mind. Whether you're a medical office, law firm, school, manufacturer, or small business, our plant-based shredding option gives you the perfect balance of speed, affordability, and security.
Is plant-based shredding secure enough for sensitive information?
Absolutely. Our plant-based shredding process meets the strictest industry standards for document and product destruction, including HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA compliance. Your materials are tracked from pickup to final shred, and you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction for your records. It’s one of the most secure and efficient off-site paper shredding options available.
