When your organization handles protected health information, financial records, or sensitive client data, “good enough” shredding is not enough.

You need secure document destruction in Seattle that stands up to regulators, auditors, and your own internal compliance standards.


Pacific Northwest Shredding provides NAID AAA Certified confidential material destruction for healthcare facilities, financial institutions,

government agencies, and professional organizations across King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties.


For 36 years, we’ve delivered incident-free, fully documented destruction services that protect your patients, customers, and reputation.



Call (206) 322-8461 or email mark@pacificnwshredding.com to request a free compliance consultation or schedule secure destruction service.

A trusted confidential shredding service Seattle has relied on for 36 years


Pacific Northwest Shredding was 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., serving organizations throughout western Washington. Many of those early clients are still with us 35+ years later.


Today, we:

  • Serve 600+ active clients throughout western Washington

  • Have maintained 36 years of continuous incident-free service with zero security breaches

  • Operate as a minority-owned, family-run local business with deep roots in the Seattle community

  • Support sensitive environments including hospitals, clinics, public health agencies, banks, credit unions, investment firms, and government offices

Our mission:

“To be the most trusted, secure, compliant & cost-effective mobile document destruction service provider.”


Our core value speaks directly to this service:

“Our customer’s regulatory compliance and data security is our success.”


We don’t just haul away paper—we design confidential shredding services that align with your legal obligations, policies, and risk tolerance.

HIPAA shredding Seattle and beyond:

built on real compliance expertise

Physical records are still one of the biggest data breach risks for healthcare and financial organizations. We bring deep regulatory knowledge to every secure document destruction program, including:

  • HIPAA / HITECH – medical records, billing documents, lab reports, and any protected health information (PHI)

  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) – customer information for banks, lenders, and financial advisors

  • FACTA – consumer credit and identity information

  • Red Flags Rule – identity theft prevention and response programs

If a record contains a name, address, phone number, medical detail, account number, or any data that links a person to your organization, it should be treated as confidential. Our team educates your staff so they understand that “virtually anything” with personally linked information must be destroyed securely, not just “obvious” medical charts or bank statements.



With an estimated $45 billion lost each year to corporate espionage and dumpster diving, our goal is simple: make sure your confidential material never becomes part of that statistic.

How our secure document destruction process protects your organization


Chain of custody from pickup through complete destruction

Our secure document destruction Seattle services are built around a strict, documented chain of custody:

1. Secure

Collection


  • We provide locked security containers at no charge, including:

  • 9GL under-desk containers (35 lb)

  • 32GL executive security consoles (100 lb)

  • 64GL security containers (200 lb)

  • Each container includes a lock-and-key system to prevent unauthorized access between pickups.

2. Uniformed,

Vetted Staff


  • All personnel wear uniforms and picture identification badges.

  • Employees undergo 7-year criminal background checks, employment verification, drug screening, and sign confidentiality agreements.

  • All owners and officers are also background-checked, and every driver follows written security procedures.

3. Controlled Transport

and Vehicle Security


  • Materials are collected in a secure manner and moved directly to our mobile shredding trucks.

  • Trucks have lockable cabs and cargo areas and meet all USDOT federal regulations.

  • Materials are contained during transfer to prevent loss or exposure to wind or weather.

4. On-site Destruction

While You Watch


  • Documents are shredded on your premises in our mobile shredding vehicles.

  • You can watch the process in real time through on-board viewing cameras, supporting transparency and internal audit requirements.

  • All paper is shredded to OEM specifications of 5/8" cutter width or less, exceeding typical office-level security.

5. NAID Member Custody

and Documentation


  • Materials remain in NAID member custody from pickup through complete destruction.

  • You receive documentation that supports HIPAA, GLBA, FACTA, and internal compliance policies.

This end-to-end process underpins our position as a confidential shredding service Seattle healthcare, financial, and government organizations can rely on.
