Document & Paper Shredding in San Antonio, Schertz & New Braunfels
Marshall Shredding provides NAID AAA certified shredding services in San Antonio and throughout the surrounding metro area. For more than 25 years, we have served hospitals, banks, law firms, government agencies, and businesses of every size across South Texas with on-site document destruction, hard drive shredding, one-time purge services, and secure collection containers. Our headquarters in Schertz, TX, puts us within 20 minutes of downtown San Antonio and positions our fleet for reliable, on-time service across the entire region.
Trusted Shredding Services Provider in San Antonio
San Antonio businesses handle sensitive information every day, from patient records at medical clinics along the Medical Center corridor to financial documents at banks along the I-10 corridor and legal files at law firms downtown. Improper disposal of these records exposes organizations to data breaches, identity theft claims, and regulatory penalties under laws such as HIPAA, FACTA, and the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, which carries civil fines of $2,000 to $50,000 per violation.
Marshall Shredding eliminates that risk with a documented chain-of-custody process, third-party-audited security controls, and Certificates of Destruction issued after every service. We are one of only 24 shredding companies in Texas to hold NAID AAA Certification through i-SIGMA, which means our trucks, drivers, facilities, and procedures are independently verified to meet the highest standards in the information destruction industry. Over 25+ years of operation, we have maintained a record of zero compromised files and carry $2,000,000 in general liability insurance for additional client protection.
Our Shredding Services in San Antonio
On-Site Paper Shredding. Our mobile shredding trucks arrive at your San Antonio location and destroy documents on the spot. Our high-capacity shredders process material four times faster than standard industry equipment, which means less time on your property and less disruption to your workday. Camera and video monitoring systems on every truck allow you to witness the entire destruction process in real time.
Hard Drive and E-Waste Destruction. Deleting files or reformatting a drive does not remove data permanently. Our hard drive shredding service physically destroys hard drives, solid-state drives, mobile devices, SIM cards, CDs, flash drives, and other electronic media so that data recovery is impossible. We provide serial-number tracking and a Certificate of Destruction for every device.
One-Time Purge Shredding. Office relocations, annual file cleanouts, litigation closures, and retention policy compliance all generate large volumes of documents that need secure destruction. Our purge shredding service handles bulk projects with flat-rate pricing, no hidden fees, and same-day or next-day scheduling availability across San Antonio.
Secure Collection Containers. Between scheduled pickups, your staff needs a safe place to deposit confidential documents. We deliver and set up locked, tamper-proof consoles and bins at your location at no additional charge. Available in 100-pound and 350-pound capacities, these containers keep sensitive materials secure until our next scheduled visit.

Why San Antonio Businesses Choose Marshall Shredding
Businesses across San Antonio mention two things about Marshall Shredding more than anything else: the consistency of our service and the professionalism of our drivers.

Every Marshall Shredding employee undergoes a criminal background check and random drug testing. All team members wear uniforms with photo identification badges. These standards are not optional add-ons; they are requirements of our NAID AAA Certification and the foundation of the trust that organizations like Citizens Medical Center, Capital Farm Credit, and FastMed Urgent Care place in our team.
We operate one of the largest shredding fleets in Texas, which means we have the capacity to maintain reliable schedules even during peak demand periods like year-end file purges and tax season.
