Secure On-Site Document Shredding and Recycling
No contracts. No hassle. Just reliable document destruction for Alberta pharmacies, medical offices, and businesses since 1981.
Your Documents Are Only as Secure as Your Shredding Service
Every day, businesses across Alberta face a difficult choice: pile up sensitive documents in storage rooms, use an office shredder that takes hours, or trust a service that hauls your confidential information away to who-knows-where.
The problem? Each option puts you at risk.
- Office shredders are slow, jam constantly, and can’t handle the volume medical offices generate
- Storage rooms full of documents waiting to be destroyed are a security liability and fire hazard
- Pickup services that transport your documents off-site mean you never know what happens to them
You deserve better. Your patients and clients trust you with their most sensitive information. You shouldn’t have to worry about whether their private documents are truly secure.
The truth is: Document security breaches don’t just cost money—they cost trust, reputation, and peace of mind. Your practice can’t afford to take chances with patient privacy.
Why Alberta Businesses Trust Paper Mill Shredding
Complete Security
On-site shredding before we leave. Locked bins only you access. Your security guaranteed.
Owner-Operated
Joe answers every call personally. After 50 years in business, he treats every customer like a neighbor.
No Contracts
Month-to-month service with 30 days notice to cancel. No hidden fees or long-term commitments. Just honest, reliable service.
Shred & Recycle
All-in-one service means every scrap is destroyed, then 100% recycled. Secure shredding or office paper recycling—we handle both with the same care.
50 Years of Keeping Alberta Businesses Secure
Family-owned since 1976, we understand what’s at stake.
Larry Madaski started the business in 1976 and his son Joe took it over in 1981. When you’re a pharmacy filling hundreds of prescriptions each day, or a medical office managing patient files, document security isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential.
A single breach could mean violations, lost trust, and serious consequences for your practice.
That’s exactly why Joe has dedicated 50 years to providing reliable, personal service—no call centers, no corporate runaround, just real people you can trust with your confidential documents.
Today, Paper Mill is Alberta’s longest-running shredding service because we’ve never forgotten what matters most: your peace of mind.

Why Choose Paper Mill Over Larger Commercial Services?
“After 15 years of dealing with a national shredding company that kept raising prices and never showed up on time, switching to Paper Mill was a breath of fresh air. Joe answers the phone himself, shows up when he says he will, and I actually get to watch our prescription records get shredded right in our parking lot. For a pharmacy, that peace of mind is priceless. We should have made the switch years ago.”
We know you have choices when it comes to shredding services. Big national companies advertise everywhere, often at prices that seem too good to be true. So why do hundreds of Alberta businesses—including pharmacies and medical offices who can’t afford to take chances—choose Paper Mill instead?
Here’s the honest answer:
You Get the Owner, Not a Call Center
When you call those big companies, you’ll talk to someone reading from a script, working from a call center hundreds of miles away. They don’t know your business, your schedule, or even your city. When you call Paper Mill, Joe answers. He’s been doing this for 50 years, knows Alberta inside and out, and treats every customer like a neighbor—because in a real sense, you are.
Your Documents Stay on Your Property
Many shredding services collect your documents in locked bins, then drive them away to a central facility. That means your sensitive information is being transported across town, sitting in a truck, and handled multiple times before destruction. With Paper Mill’s mobile shredding, your documents are destroyed at your location, before our truck leaves. You can literally watch it happen. That’s security you can see.
No Long-Term Contracts to Trap You
Commercial competitors love contracts—they lock you in for a year or more, making it difficult and expensive to switch if you’re unhappy. We’ve been in business for 50 years because we earn your loyalty every single month, not because you’re stuck in a contract. Month-to-month service. 30 days notice. That’s it. We believe if we do our job well, you’ll stay because you want to, not because you have to.
50 Years Says It All
We’re not the flashiest option. We don’t have Super Bowl commercials or celebrity spokespeople. What we do have is over 40 years of showing up on time, answering the phone personally, and shredding documents securely for Alberta businesses. We’re the longest-running service in the province because we’ve never tried to be everything to everyone—we just focus on doing one thing exceptionally well: keeping your confidential documents secure.
Fair Pricing for Honest Service
Are we the absolute cheapest? Sometimes, but not always. We price our services fairly based on the real costs of providing secure, reliable, owner-operated service. When you choose Paper Mill, you’re choosing peace of mind over rock-bottom pricing. You’re choosing a 50-year track record over a promotional rate that expires after three months. You’re choosing to work with a real person who answers your calls, not an 800-number that routes you to whoever happens to be available.
The bottom line: If you want the cheapest option available, we might not be the right fit. But if you want a shredding service you can trust—one that’s been protecting Alberta businesses for four decades, where the owner answers the phone personally, and your documents are destroyed right in front of you—then let’s talk.
Call Joe today and experience the difference that nearly 50 years of trusted service makes.
