Quality First Solutions

Have you examined your shredding costs lately?
Many organizations overlook this expense, but it adds up quickly. At QFS, here are just a few of the key factors we evaluate when reviewing shredding programs for our healthcare partners:

What we look at when selecting a vendor:
• Proven ability to deliver quality service and meet strict healthcare compliance requirements
• Pickup frequency across all applicable locations
• Minimum fees and how they impact total program cost
• Centralized container location management
• Bin sizes and pricing here are some typical market benchmarks (and yes, we’ve seen lower):
• Console: ~$2.50 (with ~$20 minimum)
• 64-gallon: ~$20
• 96-gallon: ~$25

If you're unsure whether you're getting the best value or if your shredding costs haven’t been reviewed in years, QFS can help you evaluate opportunities for savings and efficiency.
