No in-person chargesPricing for paper shredder removal is based on the number of units and how accessible they are at pickup. A single shredder in a home office is a straightforward job. Adding multiple shredders or combining the pickup with other office equipment will adjust your total, and you'll see the updated price before you confirm.
Before your Loaders arrive, unplug the shredder and empty any attached paper bin or waste drawer so nothing spills during the move. LoadUp removes the shredder machine itself and does not shred, process, or handle any documents.
LoadUp picks up all common shredder styles and sizes found in home offices and workplaces.
Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments like stairs, multiple units, or adding other office items to the same pickup are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free when your Loaders arrive.
The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.
Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.
For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.
Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.
Paper shredders are classified as e-waste in most areas, so your Loaders prioritize routing them to local electronics recycling facilities whenever those options are available. Disposal outcomes can vary based on your location and what local e-waste programs accept at the time of pickup.

(678) 884-4738Paper shredder pickup typically starts around $75, though your final price depends on how many shredders you're having removed, whether you choose curbside or in-home pickup, and your location. You'll see the exact total before you confirm your booking, so there are no surprise charges when your Loaders arrive.
LoadUp removes the shredder machine itself. Your Loaders don't shred, process, or handle any documents. If there are papers inside the machine or in the waste bin, empty those out before pickup so nothing spills during the move.
No. Jammed, broken, or completely dead shredders are all accepted for removal. The condition of the machine doesn't affect whether your Loaders can take it.
Just unplug the shredder and empty any attached paper bin or waste drawer before your Loaders arrive. That's all the prep required. Your Loaders will carry it out from wherever it sits, whether that's under your desk, in a back office, or in a garage.
Paper shredders are classified as e-waste in most areas and cannot go in regular trash. Your Loaders aim to route the shredder to a local electronics recycling facility where that option is available. Disposal outcomes can vary depending on your location and what local e-waste programs accept at the time of pickup.
Yes, you can add other office equipment or items to the same booking. Multiple shredders, office furniture, or other electronics can be included, and your total will update to reflect what you're having removed before you confirm. Combining items into one pickup is a straightforward option during checkout.
A shredder contains a motor, wiring, and circuit components alongside its plastic housing, which is exactly the mix of materials that makes it e-waste rather than a standard recyclable. Most curbside recycling programs are set up for paper, glass, and plastic containers, not devices with internal electronics, which is why shredders need to go through an electronics-specific recycling stream instead.
Most home and small office shredders last somewhere around 3 years with regular use, though heavier-duty models built for higher volume can last longer. Frequent jamming, overheating shutoffs, or dulling blades are usually the first signs a shredder is nearing the end of its useful life rather than something worth repairing.
Yes, this service and a shredding service solve two different problems. A pickup like this removes the shredder machine itself once it's broken or replaced; it doesn't process documents. If you still have paper files that need secure destruction, that requires a dedicated shredding service, either a mobile shredding truck or a drop-off facility, separate from having the old machine hauled away.
Strip-cut shredders slice paper into long strips and offer the lowest security level, since strips can theoretically be reassembled. Cross-cut shredders cut in two directions, producing smaller confetti-like pieces with better security. Micro-cut shredders go a step further, producing tiny particles that meet higher security standards often required for sensitive financial or legal documents. All three types are accepted for pickup regardless of which one you have.
Yes, a jammed or stuck shredder is still accepted, but it's worth trying to clear any visible paper from the cutting mechanism before pickup if it's easy to access, since loose jammed paper can shift during the move. If the jam is deep inside the mechanism and won't budge, that's fine too, your Loaders will still take the machine as-is.
