Papersavers Limited — Respectful, high quality service for CASL members.

Secure document shredding from a family owned Markham company, by drop off or pick-up

Papersavers Limited is a family owned and operated Canadian company in Markham that has been shredding and recycling confidential paper since 1991. Old tax returns, bank statements, medical papers and bills pile up over the years, and Papersavers destroys them securely for households as well as for businesses. In their words, the service is ideal for seniors who have smaller amounts of personal material that they want securely destroyed.

Their Drop-N-Watch service is the one they suggest for small amounts. You bring your papers to their Markham facility, their warehouse staff unload your vehicle for you, and the paper is shredded right away while you watch on a live video feed if you wish. You leave with a signed Certificate of Destruction. Their website says there is no need to remove staples, paper clips or binders, that the paper does not have to be in boxes, and that it takes about a minute a box. At the time of writing their website lists Drop-N-Watch at $3.00 per standard size file box or the equivalent, with a minimum charge of $30.00 plus HST that covers up to ten boxes; please confirm the current rate with them when you book.

If you would rather not carry boxes, Papersavers also picks up from homes across the GTA and surrounding areas, as a single visit or on a regular schedule, and can shred either on site at your home or at their own facility in Markham. Their website says the options and rates are the same for homes and businesses, that there is no contract to sign and no cancellation fee, that all staff are bonded and insured, and that the shredded paper is baled and sent to a paper mill for recycling. They also offer document storage and scanning. Call 905-513-1163 to book, and mention your CASL membership when you first get in touch.
