Shredding Services at Marshall University
Shredding is a safe, secure, and environmentally friendly way to protect confidential information and reduce waste. At Marshall University, we offer a comprehensive shredding service to securely dispose of documents, records, and media.
Why Shred?
Shredding is essential for preventing valuable, confidential information from falling into the wrong hands. This includes student tests, papers, homework, and any documents containing personal or sensitive data. When in doubt, it’s better to err on the side of caution and shred materials rather than risk improper disposal.
*Always follow department, university, local, state or federal laws in regard to record/document retention and destruction.
Shredding also supports our commitment to sustainability by recycling shredded paper and contributing to Marshall’s green initiatives. The money saved from shredding is reinvested into Marshall’s environmental programs.

How to Request Shredding
The Sustainability Department, located on the second floor of the Sorrell Maintenance Building (Suite 204B), manages the Shredding Program. For Confidential Records Destruction Requests (e.g., department records), please complete the request below.
Confidential Document Containers
To securely store sensitive documents before shredding, consider using a Locking Confidential Document Container. While not required, many offices find them convenient. The Shredding Department offers these containers for purchase, with a one-time charge based on availability and supplier pricing.
