Austin Shred and Shred Document Destruction are now known as Balcones Shred.
The friendly company, the secure service and trustworthy people you know are still in place under the same ownership and leadership. The name has been changed to match our parent company – Balcones Resources, an industry leader in creating sustainable waste processes such as recycling and new alternative fuels. Under the Balcones Resources umbrella, two distinctive yet complementary service offerings – shredding and recycling – have been merged to benefit our customers and the environment.
Balcones Shred is a reputable, secure and trusted document destruction provider headquartered in Texas.
We provide the full gamut of document destruction services including off-site, on-site, recurring and one-time shredding as well as E-waste destruction/recycling. We are big enough to meet all of our customers’ service needs and small enough to offer personalized care. From two-person offices to multi-site businesses, we help our customers remain industry and government compliant.
All Balcones Shred locations are NAID AAA Certified. The NAID certification is a voluntary program for companies offering destruction services. To be endorsed by the National Association for Information Destruction, a company must adhere to strict standards for secure destruction including operational security, employee hiring and screening as well as responsible disposal and insurance. Balcones Shred meets all such NAID requirements.
For the following shredding services, we respond quickly, maintain a strict chain-of-custody process and provide Certificates of Destruction.
Off-site shredding
We come to you, pick up your material and bring it back to our secure facility for shredding.
On-site shredding
Your security needs may sometimes require shredding in your presence at your location with one of our mobile shredding trucks.
Scheduled/Recurring service
Whether you need weekly, bi-weekly or monthly shredding, we are here to help.
Purge Service
Sometimes you may only require an occasional, biannual or one-time clean-out shredding service.
Electronic Waste
Not every type of office waste can be or should be shredded traditionally, but you may still require a solution for it. For this reason, Balcones Shred offers E-waste destruction/recycling (cell phones, computer hard drives, calculators, anything with an on/off switch, etc.) in a manner compliant with ISO9001, 14001, ONSAS18001 standards.
