We had one of those shredders in MI. it was top-of-the-line, shred everything into a million bits. It would shred your old tires. What a pain it was. Not shredding more than a few pages at a time even though it was supposed to do more, and jamming constantly. And try emptying it! Pick the top up and jammed confetti drops everywhere. We used to pile stuff waiting to be shredded on top of it and wait each other out (I never won). I couldn't wait to give it to Goodwill when we moved.
These shredding places are bonded & insured. They aren't going to stay in business long if people are stealing their shreds and piecing identities together. Is the UPS store really going to mishandle your paper shredding? They have too much reputation to uphold.
My husband's business employed a mobile shredder. We took advantage of it for many years until he retired. Never any problem.
We have so little to shred now because we've gone almost totally paperless. The occasional piece of privacy I need to shred... I tear the "private" info off and run it through the disposal with lots of water.
