What is a shredding purge?

A purge is a one-time cleanout of stored records, such as old files from a storage room or an office move, usually priced per box, per pound or as a flat rate.

Purges vs. scheduled service

Scheduled service empties the same consoles and bins on a regular cycle. A purge is a single, often large job: dozens or hundreds of boxes at once. It's often how a new client first tries a shredding company.

Pricing a purge

Most companies price purges per box or per pound, with a minimum charge, or quote a flat rate for big jobs. Ask how many boxes and how big they are, and whether there's an elevator.
