Shredding documents can help protect against identity theft, just like closing your bank account or convincing yourself that you are Superman. Keep your identity safe and sound with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of document shredding and electronics destruction and recycling from ShredStation Express. Items can be dropped off at the Alexandria location or picked up by a ShredStation Express employee in this service area for an additional charge ($20 for 5 miles or less from the store, up to $50 for longer distances) that can be applied to this Groupon.

ShredStation Express expediently pulverizes paper products for businesses and residences alike. Paper-toting patrons can drop off their documents for destruction ($0.99/pound for less than 5 pounds; discounts for higher volumes) and watch as paper is loaded onto a conveyor and then shredded into strips about the width of an equine follicle. This Groupon typically covers 90 pounds of document shredding, which is the equivalent of three standard file boxes (10"x12"x15") or 24 standard wooden clogs. Electronic destruction is also available, and computer towers, keyboards, mice, and cables/cords are accepted free of charge. Cell phones with no sensitive information are also accepted for free, then donated to Cell Phones for Soldiers, hard drives are destroyed for $15, and anything with glass or a screen (such as monitor, laptop, or TV) has a $12 recycling fee.

An on-time guarantee knocks $25 off orders if a certified destruction agent arrives more than 15 minutes after the estimated arrival window, which can be scheduled between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday–Friday and 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturday. ShredStation Express ensures that all shredded paper will be recycled and given a second life as tissue, paper towels, or papier-mâché sculptures of the Easter Bunny.
