Why people bring it here

It is not the trash

A bill in the recycling bin can still be read. We hold the paper until the monthly pickup, then it is destroyed.

Walk in

No appointment. Come during store hours. Call first if you are bringing more than one file box.

Once a month

Pacific Northwest Shredding picks up what we have collected, once a month.

Questions people ask

Where can I shred documents near me in Monroe?

Walk in to The Mail Station at 19916 Old Owen Rd, Monroe, WA. Bring paper that is yours. No appointment for a normal stack. Call (360) 805-9250 if you have more than one file box.

What documents should I shred?

Bank and credit statements, tax copies you are ready to destroy, medical or insurance papers that are yours, and mail with your name and address. If you still need a page, scan it first. We do not keep a copy, and we do not tell you which year to keep.

Can you destroy a hard drive in Monroe?

Yes. Bring hard drives, solid-state drives, USB drives, CDs, DVDs, and backup tapes to the counter. Hand them to us. Keep them separate from the paper. Ask before you bring a phone or anything with a loose battery.

How soon are the papers shredded?

Not while you wait. We hold them until Pacific Northwest Shredding picks them up once a month and destroys them. They are NAID AAA certified for information destruction. The Mail Station is the drop-off.

Do I need an appointment to shred documents?

No. Come during store hours. Call first if you are bringing more than one file box, or devices as well as paper.

What can you not shred?

Someone else’s mail, X-rays, and batteries unless we say a device can stay intact. Take paper out of binders and plastic folders. Empty cardboard boxes at the counter.

Do I get a certificate of destruction?

Do not assume a certificate comes with every drop-off. If you need proof for your own records, ask before you leave the items with us.

Can you shred mail that is not mine?

No. We only take paper that belongs to you. We do not throw away or shred someone else’s mail.
