Document Shredding Service - Napa California

Secure Document Shredding and Destruction

We at All American Mail Center take identity theft seriously. We strongly recommend that you shred all important documents that you are disposing of with a reputable company specializing in document destruction and disposal.

We do not use cross-cut shreders, because the rectangular paper slices they produce can be stiched back together by computer software. Documents brought to us are placed in a secure collection container. They are collected and processed by Advanced Shred, which uses an industrial grinder to totally pulverize documents by shearing, tearing and crushing.

The pulverizing process is repeated until the paper particles can pass through the small holes of a security screen. Then, batches of the particles are baled and recycled with a domestic recycler. This process provides total security.

We offer free local pick up with 5 cases or more. Please call 707-255-7595 for current pricing.
