What Mobile Shredding in Vancouver BC Actually Involves
Our truck drives to your home or office in Vancouver BC. You do not drop anything off. You do not wait. We feed your documents into a large shredder built right into the truck.
We work with homes, offices, and clinics across Vancouver BC. You can book a one-time clean-out or set up regular pick-ups. Businesses in Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant use our service to follow BC’s PIPA privacy law.
Our service includes:
- One-time clean-outs for homes and offices
- Regular scheduled pick-ups for businesses
- On-site shredding with a certificate at every visit
How to Know Your Documents Are Destroyed Securely
INFOshred gives you a certificate of destruction after every visit. It shows the date, location, and how much was shredded. You can use it as proof if you are ever audited or asked by a regulator.
Law offices, medical clinics, and financial firms in Vancouver BC all need proof of proper disposal. Our certificate covers that. The Canada Revenue Agency suggests keeping destruction records for at least six years.
If your business follows PIPA or PIPEDA rules, our certificate gives you a clear record every time we visit.

What to Do Before the Shredding Truck Arrives
A little prep before we arrive helps the job go faster. You do not need to sort your paper or pull out most fasteners.
Before your INFOshred visit:
Buildings in Gastown and Yaletown often have small freight areas. Keeping boxes near street level saves time. Regular banker boxes work great. Just keep them light enough to carry easily.
The On-Site Shredding Process Step by Step
Here is what happens when INFOshred comes to your Vancouver BC address:
Truck parks at the curb at your scheduled time
Technician counts your boxes or bins
Documents go straight into the truck’s industrial shredder
You watch in person or on the truck’s screen
Certificate of destruction is handed to you before the technician leaves
Our truck bay is covered. That matters in Vancouver BC where rain is common. Your documents stay dry during the move from your door to the shredder. Nothing sits outside in the open.
Most home visits take 30 minutes or less. Bigger office jobs depend on how much you have. We give you a time estimate when you book.
Which Documents We Shred vs. What Can Be Recycled
INFOshred shreds any document that could put your privacy or your business at risk. The blue box recycling in Vancouver BC is not secure. Personal details left in a recycling bin can be found and used. Our shredding removes that risk.
Bring these to us for shredding:
- Tax records, T4s, and letters from the CRA
- Bank statements, credit card records, and loan papers
- Medical files and prescription records
- Anything with a SIN, account number, or client details
- HR files, payroll records, and employee information
Safe to recycle:
- Blank paper, plain envelopes, and packaging
- Newspapers and flyers with no personal details
Do not shred:
- Original legal papers — birth, marriage, or incorporation certificates
- Government ID and passports
- Documents tied to open legal or CRA matters
Home offices in Burnaby and East Vancouver often mix personal and business paper. If a document has any personal or financial detail on it, shred it to be safe.
