About Us
Protect-N-Shred, Inc., led by Bill and Sherry Burnham, is a family-owned business proudly serving the Mahoning Valley and beyond since 2005.

Through key expansions—including the acquisitions of Docu-Shred and Alpha Omega Document Management—their family business now reaches Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Pittsburgh, Erie, and more.
Backed by our dedicated team of Confidential Destruction Specialists, we’re committed to delivering secure, dependable service with a personal touch. We take pride in making sure our customers feel confident in their choice and are satisfied with the seamless, professional service they receive—every time.

Professional Service
I want to take this opportunity to thank the staff and management of Protect-N-Shred for the timely and professional service that we consistently receive. I also want to thank you for your commitment and dedication to giving prompt service, and insuring that all security precautions are maintained and that sensitive materials are disposed of in the most efficient and effective means possible. As a local/regional bank we enjoy working with other local companies.

Compliance
We have used Protect-N-Shred for several years now. An insurance agency is information driven and the vast majority of that information falls under Protected Health Inforamtion and is governed by HIPAA laws. These laws are very specific and the penalties are high. An agent in Cleveland was fined $10,000 for failure to comply in 2011. Protect-N-Shred is a vital part of our compliance. Their locked container in our office, the shredding and Certificate of Destruction are key components when we are audited for HIPAA compliance.

On-Site Shredding
During the past several years Protect-N-Shred has been providing on-site shredding of our documents. They are prompt and courteous and we have never had any issues. They have also taken the time to go to a satellite location for a large clean up job for us. The company offers top-notch quality, services and unbeatable rates. Whenever there may be a question or request it is addressed immediately. Across the board, we are pleased with their work and would recommend their services to anyone.

Observe Destruction
I have been a client of Protect-N-Shred for more than 7 years. They have been efficient and professional and given me peace of mind that my sensitive data has been securely and properly destroyed. As a tax preparer I have to be sure that my clients’ personal information is safe at all times. Protect-N-Shred has taken the burden of that concern off my mind. I have a secured container on site and observe the destruction of those documents at my location on their mobile equipment. I would recommend Protect-N-Shred to anyone concerned with the secure destruction of sensitive information whether it’s for yourself or your clients.al companies.

Professional and Courteous
Protect n Shred has been shredding confidential documents for the Trumbull County Probate Court since 2006. When called by the Court, two Protect-N-Shred employees empty the secure container into a covered toter and transport the toter to their truck parked outside the Courthouse. A court employee then witnesses the documents being shredded in the truck. The employees of Protect-N-Shred are professional and courteous. Confidentiality is their main priority.
