Secure On Site Paper Shredding Seattle For Real-World Compliance
Pacific Northwest Shredding is not a startup and not a national chain. We’re a minority-owned, family-run Seattle business founded in 1989 by Mark Guarin Mamon and formally incorporated in 2003.
Before we specialized in secure destruction, we operated as Pacific NW Recycling, Inc.—and many of our very first customers are still with us more than 35 years later.
Our mission:
“To be the most trusted, secure, compliant & cost-effective mobile document destruction service provider.”
Our vision:
“To exceed customer expectations by providing unparalleled document destruction services with absolute transparency and utmost care.”
At the core of everything we do is a simple value:
“Our customer’s regulatory compliance and data security is our success.”
That means our on-site paper shredding services are designed around laws and regulations, not just convenience. We help organizations across western Washington meet requirements under:
- HIPAA / HITECH for healthcare and public health entities
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) for financial services and advisors
- FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act) for consumer data
- Red Flags Rule for identity theft prevention
If a document includes names, addresses, phone numbers, account numbers, or any detail that links a person to your business, it is confidential. Our role is to make sure that information is destroyed securely, documented properly, and handled in a way you can defend to regulators and auditors.
As we like to say,
“To Shred is The Law”—and we’re here to help you follow it.
Verified security: NAID AAA Certified and rigorously audited
Security isn’t a marketing bullet point for us; it’s the framework for our entire operation:
- NAID AAA Certified – recognized as
“The Gold Standard In Document Destruction”
- Subject to
unannounced third-party audits since 2010
- $2 million general liability insurance
- All trucks meet USDOT federal regulations
- Lockable cabs and cargo areas on every vehicle
Our employee screening process exceeds industry standards:
- 7-year, county-by-county
criminal background checks
- Employment verification going back 7 years
- Drug screening at hire plus random testing
- Confidentiality agreements signed by all staff
- Clear written policies and procedures for all drivers and team members
Across 600+ current clients, multiple large state, federal, city, and county contracts, and 36 years in business, Pacific Northwest Shredding has maintained:
- Zero security incidents or breaches
- Zero contract failures for government customers
If
local chambers, city departments, county offices, and federal agencies trust us with their on-site shredding, you can too.
Cost-effective alternative to in-house shredding
In-house shredding is rarely as inexpensive—or as secure—as it looks:
- A staff member earning
$15/hour spending
4 hours feeding an office shredder costs
$60 in labor alone.
- Our
minimum monthly service rates are “a lot lower than $60/month,” and that includes
free containers and secure on-site destruction.
Add the lost productivity of employees standing at a shredder instead of serving clients, plus maintenance and replacement of small machines, and professional on-site shredding quickly becomes the obvious choice.
Our clients also report a strong price advantage over national providers. In fact, one customer described our service as approximately “half the price of Iron Mountain”—with better responsiveness and personal attention.
