About Chicago Shredder
Chicago Shredder began in 2008 to meet a gap in the Chicago market.
Built from the Ground Up
Chicago Shredder began in 2008 to meet a gap in the Chicago market: businesses needed one partner for electronics recycling, hard drive destruction, and data security under a single chain of custody.

What We Stand For
Security
Every job involves sensitive data or hazardous materials. We treat both with the same standard: documented processes, chain of custody, and a certificate at the end.
Sustainability
We're in the business of keeping harmful materials out of landfills and ecosystems. Every pickup helps divert lead, mercury, cadmium, and rare earth materials from Illinois landfills.
Service
One truck. One partner. One certificate. The service model was built to eliminate the headache of managing multiple recycling vendors, so you can focus on your business.
Documented Service, Local Support
Chicago Shredder serves the metro with a local team and daily Chicago routes.
Local Since 2008
