KARD Shredding Services

KARD Shredding offers "AAA Certified" paper shredding and destruction services to the Greater Milwaukee area. KARD maintains its AAA accreditation by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID®) which requires extensive employee background checks, continuous video surveillance, and unannounced audits to verify our security processes. 

For businesses, nonprofits, and governmental agencies, KARD Shredding offers regularly scheduled plant-based and mobile shredding services, as well as office and warehouse purges of all sizes. For residential customers, KARD Shredding offers one-time, on-site residential purge services. Call us to set up a service day at your home! 

Our NAID® accreditation is your security assurance. Existing and new business customers, subject to GBLA and SOX, HIPAA, HITECH, and FACTA regulations, can count on KARD to pick up, transport, and destroy confidential information as one of the few AAA-certified suppliers in southeastern Wisconsin. KARD is AAA Certified by NAID® for destroying non-paper, copyrighted, trademarked, and other proprietary items like art prints and customized clothing. 

If you have a smaller amount of confidential shredding, we have the perfect solution for you! Bring your documents to KARD's secure facility in New Berlin, WI. Shred up to one hundred pounds (100#) on Tuesday or Wednesday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm for only $29 (ask us about our cash discount). Weight over 100 pounds is $0.20/pound. 

For hard & solid-state drives and media like CDs, DVDs, and magnetic tapes, our in-house AAA-Certified destruction service will meet your needs - no matter the size of your order. KARD's custom-built KRUSHER bends and breaks the entire drive, rendering it inoperable and unreadable. Our certified service includes: Log containing manufacturer, model, and serial # of each HD, and a Certificate of Destruction.

Note: KARD's certified process of bending and crushing the platters and electronics has been evaluated by NAID and found to be compliant with its data destruction and tracking requirements.

Cardboard

KARD'S active suppliers and shredding customers do not pay for cardboard recycling when accompanied by paper*

Baled & Loose Cardboard

KARD collects cardboard as a secondary service for our shredding customers. Like other fibrous materials, cardboard is usually recycled and repurposed multiple times in new cardboard container production. Shredding customers have historically not paid for this service; however, in the last quarter of 2022, the market for cardboard crashed inexplicably, forcing KARD to reassess and charge for cardboard collection from non-shredding customers.

* Cardboard Processing Fee​

While KARD has charged commercial customers delivering large quantities of cardboard in the past, effective the first quarter of 2023, loose cardboard and bales weighing less than seven hundred pounds will cost $100 per skid, Gaylord, or bale. Bales at and over seven hundred pounds will be charged $50 each. For active suppliers and shredding customers (ie: using any of KARD's secure and sustainable shredding services at the same time or within the same month), these prices will be discounted by 100%. Long-time cardboard-only customers of KARD will continue to receive this service at no charge, too.

Wet Cardboard - A Costly No-No

The cardboard collected by KARD should be dry. In the event wet cardboard is received, KARD needs to break it up for drying purposes and re-baling. In many cases, moisture can change the cardboard into a low-value, even unusable pile of useless material. When the cardboard is wet or moist, KARD will double the prices charged and consider these bales to be less than 700 pounds for invoicing purposes regardless of actual weight. For example, a wet bale of any weight, e.g., 100, 500, 750, or 1,500 pounds, will be charged $200.
