The Physical Plant contracts with an outside firm to pick up and shred documents for NIU departments. Fill out the following form to request this service. Submit the form at least one week before the desired shredding date. If your request is received after this deadline, it will be added to the following shredding date. The cost is 6 cents per pound.

If you have any questions, contact us at shreddingservices@niu.edu or 815-753-2042.

Please note: If your department has a regularly scheduled pick-up date, you only need to fill out the form when you have additional shredding that doesn't fit into your bin. Please indicate how much additional shredding you have, so we can alert the company.
