How to Choose the Right Shredding Company

Not all shredding companies are created equal. Don’t choose based on price alone—choose based on trust, transparency, and proven experience.

Here’s what to look for:

Years in Business: Choose a company with a long-standing track record (like our 10+ years proudly serving New Mexico).
Reputation: Read reviews—Black Dog has over 200 five-star Google reviews from happy, loyal customers.
Certificate of Destruction: Always ask if you’ll receive one. It’s your proof that your material was properly destroyed.
Transparency: Ask where your material goes. Is it shredded on-site or simply hauled away with no trace?
Security Protocols: Security Protocols: Are employees background-checked? Is the company compliant with HIPAA, FACTA, and FERPA? Is the owner experienced in handling secure, sensitive information? (Ours held a Q-clearance while working in classified programs at Los Alamos National Laboratory.)
Professionalism: Do they communicate clearly? Show up on time? Treat your information like it matters?

At Black Dog Shredding, we check all the boxes and then some. Your privacy is our priority, and we’re proud to be a woman-owned, local business that brings professionalism, security, and a personal touch to every job.

Some examples are: Memos, Price Lists, Tax Records, Receipts, Letters, Any document with social security numbers, visitor logs, training records, etc.
