There are two options. Please contact Bill or Clint, our sales reps to determine
which plans best suits your needs.
The first is purge work:

The second option is regularly scheduled service :

are not leaving your property

What are your prices?
There are two factors that determine your costs. The first is the weight. There
is a minimum service fee for small amounts. The second is the diesel fuel
surcharge for actual time used shredding – not pay for mileage to and from the
site.

Why do I have to pay a diesel fuel surcharge?
We have to charge a fuel surcharge, based well under the national average, for
actual shredding time at the location. This fee excludes mileage to and from the
site
