Stay Compliant with Professional Shredding Service

As businesses in Singapore generate more sensitive information each year, secure disposal is no longer optional. It’s a compliance requirement under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Choosing the right shredding partner ensures your confidential documents are destroyed properly, protecting your clients, employees, and business reputation.

One of the most common questions we receive is: “How much does document shredding service cost in Singapore?” This guide will walk you through the factors that affect shredding service prices in 2025, and how Arkiva can provide a cost-effective, compliant solution.


Factors That Affect Shredding Costs

Pricing for shredding services isn’t one-size-fits-all. Several factors influence the final cost:

  1. Volume of Documents

    • Costs are typically based on the number of bags, boxes, or total weight of documents.

    • Small clear-outs (a few boxes) cost less than large office disposal projects.

  2. Service Frequency

    • One-time shredding jobs are priced differently from recurring services.

    • Companies that schedule weekly, monthly or quarterly collections often enjoy discounted rates.

  3. Material Type

    • Standard office paper is straightforward.

    • Documents with arch files, plastic files, or binders may require additional handling.

  4. Logistics

    • Pick-up and transportation to the shredding facility are included.

    • Accessibility (moving up or down stairs without lifts) can affect collection costs.


What Types of Services are Available?

In Singapore, most shredding service companies, including Arkiva offer flexible packages to suit different needs:
