Although he prices for the same service might vary from company to company, an average can be calculated easily and it will be useful for you so that you know what budget to prepare. For example, if you choose offsite shredding services, there are a few factors that influence the price.

One of them is the size of the containers that accumulate the papers. Obviously, bigger and more secure containers will cost around $10 to 15. Those containers are placed in company’s offices and they store papers and documents in order to be picked up and shredded later. Speaking of picking up? Well, this small service will cost you only a few bucks and you can request it even on a weekly basis.

You want to recycle plastic or aluminum? Again, a container full of bottles and cans will eventually cost you around $5-10 to recycle. You want to recycle other items that store data and information? You will have to pay around $10 or $15 for hard drive destruction, CD or DVDs. Now that you know some averages, it might be a lot easier to prepare a budget. Also, it is a good idea to contact the companies that offer shredding services directly in order to find more accurate details about pricing and costs.
